Seller's Description

SEE WEBSITE

IslandPacketForSale.com

Via Vitae is a lightly used Island Packet & has been owned with pride as evidenced by her overall appearance, condition & how well she has been maintained. She looks & shows as if she is new with a high polish waxed gelcoat and superior bright work.

She is my personal boat and has been professionally maintained with an open check book & is the best equipped and cleanest Island Packet 380 on the market. Via Vitae is certain to satisfy the most discriminating buyer.

Additionally, the holding tank has been replaced and chainplates inspected and rebedded!!

She includes such amenities as a complete solar package, 4 AGM house batteries, bow thruster, radar, chart plotter, auto pilot, AIS, Lewmar winch package & water maker for extended cruises, plus more. (check out the specs section below)

Cruising features include a near new AB hypalon dinghy w/4 stroke 9.8 HP Tohatsu engine, davits, large refrigerator & freezer, Cruisair air conditioning/heat & fully enclosed cockpit canvas with acrylic glass dodger. Additionally, the custom Sailtec 140 Genoa really get her moving in light air.

All roller furling sails with all controls lead back to the cockpit for safety and ease of handling.

The ONLY reason I am selling her is I recently purchased an Island Packet 485. Via Vitae has definitely been an amazing boat and has treated us very well…she will be missed.

She is ready to drop the lines and go. Be ready, she is the envy to many and will start plenty of conversations with other boaters. After all….she is an ISLAND PACKET.

Via Vitae is located in St. Petersburg, FL and is used regularly with pride.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.0 kn
Classic: 7.58 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

8.04 knots
Classic formula: 7.58 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
15.9
<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.
15.87
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
42.9
>40: stiffer, more 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

42.86
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
286.4
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
286.41
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
30.8
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
30.79
<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
1.9
<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
1.89
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Draft for CB version: 3.92’ BU, 7.58’ BD.
