1973 Yankee Sparkman Stephens 38

Expired
$38,800 USD

Seller's Description

This is a beautiful and robustly outfitted Olin Stephens (Sparkman and Stephens) designed ocean racer. It is well equipped with a full suite of Brooks and Gatehouse electronics, some still in the box. There are eight bunks updated standing and running rigging. It has sailed to Russia, Hawaii, and Alaska, and is well equipped to do so again.

If you are a serious racer, you will appreciate the Huge Lewmar 3-speed primary winches, the skeg-hung rudder, and the adjustable mast-step which was just serviced. Sails include three spinnakers; three headsails; a heavy-duty main with two reefs. The standing and running rigging was all new in the summer of 2021 (see details below). The boat is powered with a Westerbeke 4-90 25 hp diesel engine.

The boat also features a barbeque; a new windex; new exit blocks and plates on mast. There is a recent radar dome on a new dampened gimbaled mount; a recent GPS, anemometer, wind direction indicator, and fathometer (all Brooks and Gatehouse). There is a new LED masthead anchor light, a rebuilt Raritan head, updated port and starboard running lights; updated LED deck & steaming lights, an alcohol Origo range, and a vintage pressurized alcohol oven.

Features include the original teak and holly sole, newer non-permeable sanitation hoses, and new heavy-duty sanitation pump for overboard discharge. The holding tank has never been used and is equipped with the proper vent and anti-siphon loop. Other tankage includes a 25-gallon diesel tank, two freshwater tanks with manual foot pumps; one dedicated to the sink in the head and the other to the galley. There are manual and electric bilge pumps.

There are high-end Weems and Plath ship’s clock and barometer; rebuilt hydraulic backstay tensioner; dual bow rollers; 30 lbs Danforth anchor on combination chain and three-strand nylon rode; newer bronze packing gland and bellows.

Other features include the recent Jabsco bronze raw water pump; compass; back-up vintage fathometer; Iverson Dodger with oversized tubing and hand-holds, Isinglass covers and removable extensions. It has a newer Liberty Bay sail cover, new mast boot, boom vang, and a new laminated tiller with a cover to match the sail cover and dodger. Spares include an exhaust manifold, injection pump, and a set of engine gaskets. There is a Newport Dickinson diesel heater with baffle. VHF radio with new antenna.

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.5 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

7.51 knots
Classic formula: 7.18 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.1
16-20: good performance

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.
16.08
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
45.8
>40: stiffer, more 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

45.79
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
300.9
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
300.87
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
29.2
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
29.23
<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
1.9
<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
1.86
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

S&S #2094-C2. Based on the IOR One Ton racer ‘Lightnin’(1971).
Later, the molds were purchased by Catalina Yachts were it became, with some modifications, the CATALINA 38.
