This Pearson 323 is a fine example of a well-cared for and updated cruiser. Her most recent updates include new bimini and dodger with helm and winch covers, VHF radio, Dickinson Caribbean 2 burner propane stove with oven, Dickinson p900 propane cabin heater, Simrad ac12 autopilot with ap24 control head, davits with new tackle, and a new 95% Ullman Sails jib all installed in 2019. She benefits from barrier coat and bottom paint after having been media blasted to remove old layers in 2018 and has a smooth new finish. She received new standing and running rigging in 2012, and new sails in 2014 including the 2 2 Main and a 130% Genoa. At the updated helm you will find 4G Radar, Ritchie Compass, Chart-plotter, depth and wind indicators, and new steering components. The cockpit features a 2nd bimini and dodger with 2 enclosures (one with mosquito netting) to keep you protected from the elements. Inside you will find a well-appointed galley with propane stove, pressure water system, and ice box. The dinette easily converts to a double berth and the custom innerspring mattress in the v-berth will keep you resting comfortably while away from home. The head has been updated with a Lectrasan toilet system in 2015 and new macerator was installed in 2016. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to own a proven, well built, boat with modern amenities to give you peace of mind while cruising the Chesapeake and beyond!
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)
