The Ella B is a fully restored (by the previous owner) 1970 centerboard Mariner 19 2 2, #1871.
Rigged for singlehanding – furling jib, all lines lead to cockpit, tiller clutch, 2 reef points. Much more, below.
The Mariner is an awesome boat same hull as a Rhodes 19, lightweight, simple, easy to trailer, easy to rig, easy to sail, fast (many race), very stable, big cockpit, can sleep 4. About 4.5’ draft with centerboard down; 10” when up.
The Mariner is is still being produced today (so parts are readily available); strong class association, too.
The last time I was out someone sailed by and shouted, beautiful boat. I get that often. Credit to the former owner, but it is a beautiful boat (dark blue hull, wood trim), fully ready to sail and actively being sailed. This boat pretty much has everything.
Equipment: - Sails (and battens) in excellent shape still crisp - Roller furling - All lines in good condition and all lines run to the cockpit. Luff reef lines go to cam cleats on cabin top; main halyard (and topping lift if you choose to have one hardware all there) to a double-spinlock on cabin top. - self bailing cockpit - Solid roller-bunk trailer in good shape 1982 previous owner had completely restored it along w/ the boat - Well-maintained 2009 4hp 4 stroke Tohatsu outboard in excellent shape starts on first pull. I use the internal tank but a line was installed by the previous owner to enable use of an external tank. External tank included. - Adjustable motor mount on stern to raise and lower the outboard. - Performance kick-up rudder - working, restored original winches - Beautiful wooden tiller with tiller clutch (line runs to cam cleats) and tiller extension - Cushions in cabin very clean all with mildew-preventing padding beneath to enable air flow -Teak wood on floor of cabin - Windex (mast-top wind direction) - Mainsail cover, tiller cover, rudder cover - Cockpit awning - Mooring cover with Mariner insignia & hull # - Adjustable opening hatch on cabin top w/ screen - porthole (window) shades - Bow pulpit and lifelines - Boat is fully wired to power bluetooth stereo (speakers in cabin and in cockpit), fan, vent, cabin lights and the mast is wired for anchor/running lights. Can plug into shore power. Battery not included. - Anchor - Adjustable mast crutch at stern to aid in trailering and in raising the mast. Wooden support for mast step to work with crutch to support mast when trailering. - Swim ladder - Positive flotation - Porta-potty - Raymarine tiller autopilot - Magma BBQ w/ hull mount - Built-in shelves in cabin; small storage bags hanging beneath shelves on port and starboard sides - Line bags (to hold lines coming to cockpit) - Lazy jacks (uninstalled) - Cup holders - if in area, dock space until Nov 1 if you want it (and insure her) - Installed a mast gate to enable raising and lowering of main singlehanded (2020) - Added handheld VHF (2020) - Replaced the jib cam cleats with swivel cam cleats (2021) - Installed hardware on the boom, lower mast and deck for double-line reefing and installed the four lines to enable double-line reefing – all lead to cockpit (2021) - Installed a V cleat for the outhaul (2021) - Added boom vang hardware so I could use boom vang that came with boat (2021) - Added additional deck organizer on port side and two blocks to allow luff reef lines to run to cockpit (2021) - Replaced several stuck turnbuckles and added double nuts to prevent loosening (2021 & 2022) - Replaced backstay to enable boom to hang from backstay (2021) - Replaced single bolt trailering bolt-eye with U bolt (2021) - Replaced rusted leaf springs and older bearings on trailer (2022) - Just replaced fraying centerboard wire (2022)
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)
The hull of the MARINER is the same as that of the RHODES 19. A fixed keel version was also available for both boats. In 1969, a ‘2+2’ version was introduced that has a slightly larger cuddy/cabin.
A modified version (with different cabin design) called the SPRINDRIFT ONE appeared in 1980 after the original molds were sold to Rebel Industries-(Spindrift One-Designs).(76 built).
Since 1986, the licensed builder has been Stuart Marine Corp. of Rockland, ME (USA).(Also builder of the RHODES 19).
