For sale is my beloved Esperanza. She is an immaculately cared for Easterly 38 built in Pearlington Mississippi. She is a mast head sloop and her sails are in great shape. Much of her running rigging is new as is her canvas. Her interior is all custom mostly of African Mahogany with cherry and ash. Her bulkheads have been reinforced with new chainplates added. She has an Atomic-4 engine that runs perfect. All new electrical with 600w of solar and 200ah of lithium house batteries. A Simrad chart plotter is mounted at the helm. A I-com VHF is mounted at the companion way. Her hull is fiberglass with a fin keel and encapsulated lead ballast. She has a 2 blade prop and a partial skeg rudder. She is sporting a fresh topside paint of Flag Blue Epifanes. LOA 38’ Beam 11’ Draft 5’6” Air draft 48’ Displacement 15,000 I am selling her because I now have another sailboat and I don’t need two slip fees. She is ready for some coastal cruising and looking for a new captain to love her.
Equipment: Simrad Chart plotter Victron Solar Electrical 200ah lithium house batteries
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)
It has been reported that is a ‘stretched’ version of the EASTERLY 36.
