1977 C&C 38 sailboat. Perkins 4-108 50 hp Diesel engine. 700 hours on engine, runs strong but does need a few oil gaskets replaced eventually. New upholstery , new bottom paint in October 2021, injection pump rebuilt in 2019, new stainless exhaust 2019, solid deck no soft spots, standing rigging and chain plates in excellent shape, running rigging in good shape, sails are very crispy, 150% Genoa on roller furling. Spinnaker gear and sail. Wood is in good shape inside, could use some touching up here and there, exterior wood needs to be refinished, overall the boat is turn key. 55 ft mast, 6’ draft. She is at Rock Harbor Marina in Nashville at the present and will eventually make the passage to Chattanooga TN but will remain for sale along the way. Only reason for selling is life changes and plans have to change correspondingly. She’s a great vessel and I hate to part ways with her.
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.
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
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.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
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.
