Seller's Description

If you are looking for an exceptional turnkey sailing vessel, look no further. Current owners have spent the last 20 years owning, updating and sailing Gone Nutz & Just in the last year- ALL NEW 740 watt solar w/stainless steel arch, top to bottom awlgrip paint job, bottom paint, 16 New Batteries.. Their plan was to spend a year off the water and do a lot of updates, unfortunately just after completion, health issues got in the way. The asking price is truly below market, ($139k) especially with all the comforts of home, and the ability to be off the grid with electricity, water and being able to sail, anywhere!

Equipment: Too much to list. Ready to go anywhere! Great running engine & generator, excellent sails, water maker, solar, new batteries, washer dryer, work shop, great outside entertaining area w/ large BBQ,…

I am helping my friends sell their sailboat due to health issues, so if you are ready with cash give me a call. Priced for a quick sale! The vessel is located just a short 5 hr. Drive past the Arizona border in beautiful San Carlos, Sonora Mexico. For those of you whom have never been here, I assure you will be pleasantly surprised. Well over 1,000 other Americans and Canadian citizens keep their boats here and many call San Carlos their home for most of the year. Best place by far to start your Mexico sailing adventure, and is certainly the least expensive for quality work and storage. After you come down youll understand too.

FYI- Purchasing this boat in Mexico is easy and safe. Its being sold as a US documented vessel by an American owner. A contract to purchase will be drawn up by an American boat broker, and all monies will be transferred through a well known American escrow company. Just as you would expect buying in the USA.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.7 kn
Classic: 8.12 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

8.72 knots
Classic formula: 8.12 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
14.5
<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.
14.52
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
39.5
<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

39.47
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
275.0
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
275.0
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
36.5
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
36.54
<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
1.7
<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
1.74
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
