43’ World Cruiser Designed by John Simpson and laid up by Waterline Yachts, fitted out expertly by original owner, who circumnavigated with his spouse over 6 years.
Perelandra was eventually sold and abandoned for about a decade. I’ve spent the last 3 years getting her back into order. Many projects completed, many in progress, and still more to do. For me she has been a “sailing restoration” with lots of coastal cruising. She has a lot of new equipment. Her next owner should be prepared to work on her regardless.
Excellent potential for liveaboards with two queen staterooms, two heads, and shower.
Her engine is strong and she is comfortable and sails beautifully. I’m reluctant to sell but it’s your classic change of plans story. Interested and serious parties are encouraged to open up a dialogue.
Equipment: Lots of new equipment including: Force 10 range and oven Fresh propane gear between tanks and range New f/w pump New Isotemp 8gallon water heater 300Watts solar New Isotherm reefer Diesel cabin heater New cutless bearing New PSS dripless shaft seal Almost all new running rigging Much much more
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)
