S/V Vacilando is the perfect boat for the cruising couple, with an extensive list of upgrades made in the last 2 years. This boat is a fast and proven cruising boat that has been across the Gulf of Mexico, to the Bahamas, the Chesapeake Bay and up and down the East Coast several times.
Designed by the legendary William “Bill” Lapworth, the Cal 35 has well-thought out design elements that set her apart from other boats in this size and price range. The sailor in you will love the thrill of sailing “downwind in a Cal”, when she starts to surf, and her fast speed under sail when you get her trimmed just right. The human in you will appreciate the roomy interior, separate shower, and ample storage, which allows you to live or cruise comfortably on her. With this boat, you don’t have to sacrifice space or sailability. She’s got both.
Vacilando has been extremely well taken care of, with an extensive list of upgrades (see bottom of listing). She is meticulously clean down below. Her teak interior is oiled regularly with lemon oil to keep it nice and conditioned, and smelling fresh. Her engine oil has been changed every 75 engine hours for the past two years, and the Universal diesel starts quickly and runs like a dream. consuming only .57 gallons of fuel per hour. She would be the perfect Coastal Cruiser and would love to be taken to the Bahamas or the Caribbean.
You can read stories about Vacilando and her adventures (as well as see more photos and video) at www.mondovacilando.com and as featured in the Amazon e-book You Gotta Go To Know.
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)
Deep draft: 6.0’/1.83m
Shown here is the MKII version introduced in 1981 with a slightly different interior most notably on the earlier versions the head was aft on the port side next to the companionway and the galley was on the starboard side.
Not to be confused with the earlier CAL 35 CRUISING KETCH. (1973)
