Seller's Description

1969 S&S 38 Yawl sailboat Capulet in very good condition. The draft is 4.5 with board up and the beam is 12. Sails and equipment are in excellent condition. There is a storm sail, 604 sq. foot drifter, asymmetrical spinnaker, and a 105 jib. The headsail is a 130, the main is full battened with lazy jacks, and the mizzen is about 90 sq. feet. All primary sails are Egyptian cream in color. Capulet was donated to Angel for Hope Ministries and is in very good working order. We boarded the boat recently and found a few small things it needs. The first being paintwork just below rub rail on both sides as seen in pictures. The other is that the boat could use a bottom paint and a good cleaning. This boat has many custom features and was very well maintained. It is located in Jacksonville, FL. It has a good running, very clean, no rust Yanmar 50hp. Other details include: Raymarine autopilot with hydraulic ram connected to the rudder post below the helm. HD 48 mile Raymarine radar with new e7d Raymarine plotter, 16,000 BTU reverse cycle heat pump, Technotics 12volt refrigeration system, twenty lbs. propane for Shipmate three-burner stove with oven, 2500 watt Jazz Inverter, Forty-inch flat screen, GX2150 Standard Horizon VHF, custom twelve bottle wine rack, cedar line hanging locker, Clarion stereo system, Paul E. Luke fireplace, safe, plow stern anchor with 290 feet of ground tackle forty feet of which is chain, preventer with a four to one ratio, spare alternator, belt filters, and other spare parts. Boat can be viewed by appointment. Please contact Bobby at 850-208-1877.

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.2 kn
Classic: 7.18 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

7.19 knots
Classic formula: 7.18 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
15.8
<16: under powered

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.
15.81
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
38.8
<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

38.8
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
345.3
275-350: heavy

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
345.33
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
34.2
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat

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
34.19
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
1.8
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

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
1.75
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
