Back on the market! Unleaded II has been chosen, so Unleaded I has to go! Unleaded is a prime example of a well maintained Contour 34sc trimaran. Fresh water boat for her whole life except for about 1.5 months in Florida and Bahamas.
She offers the best compromise for the cruising or racing couple that loves sailing but yet remains comfortable at anchor. The standing headroom, separate head, galley and refrigerator make life aboard very comfortable.
She is very well sorted out with new electronics, sails, refrigerator, instruments, daggerboard, rudder, solar panels, charger/inverter, standing rigging, running rigging and more!
You can race this boat with crew in the Great Lakes one weekend put her on the trailer and be comfortably cruising in the Bahamas the next weekend. Nothing sails better upwind than Unleaded on her trailer at 70 mph on I-75 south!
With that being said, the sailing performances are not too shabby: she can sail the speed of the wind up to 19-20 knots!

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)
