Seller's Description
When an owner truly cares about a boat, it shows. From the small cosmetic upgrades to the organized and well-maintained interior, Double Diamond reflects a love for detail and care. Regretfully, the sellers are parting with their “home away from home.”
Double Diamond, a Moorings Cyclades 43.3 (2007), is built for practicality and ease of maintenance. It features a teak-free cockpit, aluminum toe rails, and sturdy stainless steel handholds on deck for durability and simplicity. Purchased from the Moorings fleet in 2013, she saw light use until 2022. Stepping below deck, her well-maintained and thoughtfully cared-for condition is immediately evident.
Recent upgrades include new standing rigging (2024), along with all-new guard rails (2024) and a replaced cutlass bearing (2024). Although the boat hasnt been used since 2022, diligent maintenance has continued. The engine has been regularly serviced and turned over while on the hard, and the batteries have been kept topped up by the solar charger.
She comes fully equipped with all kitchen utensils, linens, and a BBQjust bring your suitcase! The boat is wired for 110V and includes an inverter for charging devices on the go. Additionally, the inverter powers a handheld electric winch, making raising the mainsail a breeze.
Storage is abundant, with a transom locker, two large cockpit lockers, and additional storage under the floorboards in the salon and all three berths.
Highlights Include:
New standing rigging (2024) All-new guard rails (2024) Replaced cutlass bearing (2024) Anchor and chain replaced in 2019, but appear as new Low-maintenance design with a teak-free cockpit, stainless steel toe rails, and sturdy handholds on deck 110V wiring with inverter for charging devices and powering the electric winch
Designed with the Caribbean market in mind, Double Diamond is the perfect combination of functionality and comfort. This boat is priced to sell and ready to set sail!

Calculations

11.6 kn
Classic: 8.54 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
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
17.8
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.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
32.3
<40: less stiff, less 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
- Displacement/Length
-
131.6
100-200: light
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
- Comfort Ratio
-
20.7
20-30: coastal cruiser
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
- Capsize Screening
-
2.2
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
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
