A well-loved Pearson Flyer 30 for sale: The faster, more fun way to spend time with family and friends. If you dream of going fast just for the fun of it or raicing in a boat that won’t be made obsolete by rule changes this boat is for you. Its design is focused on performance, responsiveness, and maneuverability combined with easy handling. The boat can be single-handed just with the mainsail or raced with minimum crew. This simple but high performance boat is capable of downwind speeds in the 10 knot range under spinnaker. The Flyers uncluttered deck works well for a race crew, while the roomy interior (thanks to 11 feet of beam) is sufficient for overnight cruises . Down below theres bunk space for four, with two bunks tucked under the cockpit seats, and two settee berths in the main cabin. A small head sits on the centerline, just forward of the primary bulkhead. The forepeak is wide open and perfect for sail storage as well as spinnaker douses. The engine is under the companionway ladder, and a small galley and navstation sit to starboard and port, respectively, well away from the companionway, just forward of the settee berths. The sunken 8-foot cockpit is roomy and ergonomically comfortable, with the mainsheet traveler out from underfoot, mounted immediately aft of the companionway. Halyards and control lines lead aft from the mast to two banks of jammers located on either side of the companionway. There are 4 Lewmar winches on the cabin top. The aluminum one-spreader rig is keel-stepped and carries a headsail and a tall, high-aspect-ratio main. The original single-ended six-to-one wire backstay was replaced with a cascading double-ended Spectra backstay. Everything is in great condition. This boat has been very well taken care of. The engine was professionally rebuilt in 2016. Specs (https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/flyer-pearson):

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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
