Seller's Description

SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD Beautiful cutter rigged auxiliary cruiser. Based on a Perry design. Reportedly designed originally for a single client (based on the Perry designed VALIANT 40) but went into limited and unauthorized production.

Boat is a cutter-rigged, flush foredeck with a solid long modified fin and skeg-hung rudder. Solid teak interior with 6’5” of headroom , abundant amount of storage. The design is renowned as ideal passage-making cruiser This boat has been well maintained and is well equipped with a self-steering wind vane monitor, autopilot and solar. Equipped for offshore passages as well as comfortable accommodations at the dock or at anchor.

Accomodations: Boarding from either side of the boat and step down into the deep and secure cockpit. The boat is equipped with a canvas dodger and bimini. Stepping down below, forward is a comfortable V-berth followed by a Pullman berth on the starboard side. Abundance amount of storage space below the Pullman berth for spare parts or cruising gear. The head is to port with an electric head and step in shower. The starboard side straight settee is flanked by a pilot berth. There is an “L” shaped settee w/ cabinetry and drop leaf table are to port. Stainless-steel kerosene Balmar heater. The galley is a wraparound w/ the double stainless-steel sinks on centerline. Salt and fresh water pumps in the galley. The galley is equipped with a fridge, freezer and three burner Mariner by Dickerson propane stove/oven. The engine sits underneath the stainless-steel sink with access on all four sides. The starboard forward facing navigation station is in front of a quarter berth. Behind the removable companion way steps there is access to the vast storage space under the cockpit.

Sails and Rigging: The standing rigging was replaced in 2009 and was fully inspected when the running rigging was replaced three years ago . SOLD SOLD SOLD

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.7 kn
Classic: 7.94 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

8.73 knots
Classic formula: 7.94 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.3
16-20: good performance

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.
16.27
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
34.4
<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

34.35
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
254.6
200-275: moderate

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
254.56
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
35.0
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
34.95
<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
1.7
<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
1.72
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Originally designed for a single client (based on the VALIANT 40) but went into limited and unauthorized production. (against designers wishes with no royalties paid)
