Seller's Description

The Farr designed Beneteau First 40 quickly established itself as a performer on the race circuit and Libertas has a decorated history to back up those claims. Winner in the Caribbean 600 2014 Winner in the Land Rover Winter Series 2014 Winner in the Rolex Sydney Hobart (IRC3) 2013. Do you want to continue the legacy of this boat? With racer features such as six large winches removable cockpit lockers spacious pit ergonomically designed for helm and trimmer to enjoy themselves this is a boat that will have you and your crew nodding in approval. If racing is not your thing. Not to worry Farr has done it again balancing comfort and performance to ensure all on board are comfortable. The light oak veneer creates an airy, simple and modern atmosphere down below. The aft cabins have an impressive 6ft of head room, hanging lockers and decent sized berths with 12 volt fans throughout and opening ports in each room for maximum comfort. The nav station has lots of flat surface area and easy access for mounting instruments and the galley is well appointed with all the amenities you would expect. Libertas is right at home here in the Caribbean with a shoal keel open transom and good sized bimini and swim ladder for those days off the racecourse. For offshore racing she is equipped with a water maker and an impressive 720watts of solar. If you are into onshore racing, offshore racing or simply cruising around the Caribbean, the Libertas will meet your demands.

Calculations

Hull Speed
9.8 kn
Classic: 7.93 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

9.84 knots
Classic formula: 7.93 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
20.8
>20: high performance

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.
20.84
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
39.8
<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

39.78
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
172.9
100-200: light

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
172.89
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
23.5
20-30: coastal cruiser

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
23.47
<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
2.0
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising

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
2.0
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
