Seller's Description

Alberg 30 Hull # 445 LOA: 30’ 3” Beam: 8’ 9” Draft 4’ 3” Displ. 9,000 lbs. Sail Area: Working 410 sq.ft. /w Genoa 540 sq.ft.

Tangaroa, like all Alberg 30’s, is a solidly built boat of classic design with long overhangs, full keel and a protected rudder/prop. It has a reputation for being well balanced and forgiving to sail. As conditions deteriorate, her seaworthiness starts to shine as she slices through the waves. She is well suited for heaving-to/laying haul without complications. A true Bluewater boat.

Tangaroa has seen only fresh water, having spent her entire time in the Great Lakes. She has been on the hard for the past 16yrs. and will need some cosmetic work and delayed maintenance, including an engine rebuild.

Equipment: Engine: Atomic 4 w/ several repair/shop manuals

Hull: Solid glass hull & cockpit deck Balsa core decks 68 ft. of new Teak toe rails (needs installing) Sea hood Dodger Halyards lead to cockpit Harken traveler and main sail track. 2 Merriman Bronze winches w/ handles Barient Model 17 2-speed winch w/ handle

Calculations

Hull Speed
5.4 kn
Classic: 6.14 kn

Hull Speed

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

5.38 knots
Classic formula: 6.14 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
?

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
?
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
32.7
<40: less stiff, less powerful

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

32.73
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
530.5
>350: ultraheavy

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
530.51
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
39.4
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
39.42
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
1.6
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
1.58
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Similar to, and alleged predecessor to the ALBERG 30. Local to the SF Bay Area (USA). More information has been promised.
