Seller's Description

UNDER CONTRACT! Cape Dories are known for their tasteful, quality-built accommodations, but above all, Carl Alberg prioritized sailing when he designed these widely respected vessels. With her classic lines, robust bronze fittings, and sea-kindly handling, Second Wind is a fine example of a Cape Dory 30 cutter that has taken on the elements and logged many voyages on the Chesapeake and the Atlantic. The current owner fondly remembers sailing her from Pungo Creek (near Okracoke) to Stingray Point in Deltaville; 87 miles in just 16 hours. He took her out in varying weather conditions for many years, often single-handedly. Retirement is now taking him to a different part of the country where he will be sailing a smaller Cape Dory, but Second Wind is rigged, ready, and waiting to hoist anchor for more seafaring adventures. Even with cooler months upon us, it’s easy to imagine exhilarating days at sea with the wind in her sails, followed by cozy evenings below deck with her Dickerson Newport solid fuel stove warming you and your crew (sleeps 5) in the comfortable teak-lined cabins. Catch Second Wind and follow that horizon!

Calculations

Hull Speed
5.3 kn
Classic: 6.02 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

5.34 knots
Classic formula: 6.02 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
14.7
<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.
14.71
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
35.3
<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

35.3
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
508.1
>350: ultraheavy

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
508.13
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
32.2
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
32.21
<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
1.8
<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
1.75
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Derived from an earlier boat called the NAUGUS 30, originally built in 1967 by Naugus Fiberglass Industries, (Marblehead, MA) (6 built). The tooling was later sold to Cape Dory Yachts and renamed CAPE 30. Thanks to NAUGUS 30 owner Ben Smith for providing extra information.
