Seller's Description

MUCH MORE THAN ONLY BEAUTIFUL SHE IS SAFE, STRONG AND FAST

Citron Press has been our home for two years. A dream sailboat that never tired of surprising us. Due to the restrictions that the world faced in 2019 and 2020, we were forced to hire delivery service, it was necessary to remove the sailboat from the marina in Boston before the complete freeze, or it would stay there until early spring the following year. We hired Ike Bartlett and Caroline Bronsard to take the boat from the United States to the Bahamas, where we could board. As soon as she left Boston, she was already brave, facing the freezing weather of October, surprising the captains. She bravely crossed the waters fleeing the right freeze, disconcerted by her speed and firmness. Then she had to show herself once again bravely when she bravely faced the strong winds due to the passage of a hurricane. When we boarded in Freeport, we were able to see for ourselves why the captain wanted the Citron Press to belong to him. It didn’t take much to experience its stability and security, plus it reacts quickly to any command. It heels a little when it enters the wind, making the crossing more pleasant. The route chosen by us to reach the Caribbean, was unusual. We left Inagua in the Bahamas and crossed straight to Luperon in the Dominican Republic against the winds and currents in record time. Each new captain who had the opportunity to make a small crossing with us was surprised by the sailboat’s behavior in the waves. It was common to hear from them:

“It is the best sailboat I have ever sailed, it sails smoothly and steadily”

Another factor that draws a lot of attention is the size and comfort of the cockpit. Accommodates up to 9 adults, and the back support, is quite high, providing a lot of safety and comfort. If you have a child, you can’t be more peaceful and happy.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.0 kn
Classic: 7.81 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

7.97 knots
Classic formula: 7.81 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
13.3
<16: under powered

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.
13.26
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
34.6
<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

34.62
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
325.2
275-350: heavy

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
325.16
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
36.8
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
36.76
<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
1.8
<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
1.79
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
