We have owned our 1980 C&C 32 WINMAR since July 2014. We bought her from an owner who primarily cruised with her. We now generally use her for club racing. Our crew is slowing down as we age; therefore, we have decided to hang up our topsiders. WINMAR is on the hard in winter layup at Crocker Boat Yard in New London CT, where she has wintered for the past 10 years and has always been fully serviced annually before launching. This year, we plan to launch her in late May and will moor her at the Thames Yacht Club in New London until she is sold. WINMAR underwent a routine Insurance survey in May 2022 with no major deficiencies; a copy of this Survey is available upon request. Her sails have been inspected and serviced annually by a sailmaker; all sails are in good condition. Upon request, we can provide our Sailmakers phone number to discuss the condition of the sails. WINMARs sail inventory includes a spinnaker; we have never raced with it. The necessary spinnaker hardware will convey to the new owner. WINMAR was repowered in 2006 with a 20 hp, Yanmar 3YM20.
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)
