Well known easy to sail or race class boat (my first ever boat that I learned to sail with) ready to put in the water and go. Sail #1771 will give you as it has me, many days of pleasure or excitement if racing, and little maintenance. A couple of outstanding features of this boat are 1) no center board box in the cockpit as it folds up into the hull and 2) It also has the jib furler feature. Additionally, both centerboard and rudder are kick-up functioning which allows beach run-up as well if you choose. As a “Trailer Sailor youll not only have the advantage of using almost anywhere, you wont have to pay for slip or storage fees!
Equipment: Boat, trailer, sails, boom vang, with all lines and necessary accessories.
Recent upgrades/improvements include: New - 3/16 shroud lines, hiking toe straps, refinished center board with new inhaul block and travel stop, new centerboard kick-up bungie cord as well. This boat needs nothing to go but someplace to put it in and with a price this reasonable it shouldnt be listed for long.
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)
In 2000 Catalina Yachts renamed the CAPRI 18 to the CATALINA 18.
