Winter Passage is a proven, ready-to-sail example of the popular Beneteau 473. Featuring the sought after 3 stateroom layout and 5’7” draft bulb keel, this offshore-capable boat can also access the skinny waters of the Chesapeake and Bahamas. The mast is ICW-friendly with a bridge clearance of 60 feet. An electric winch is installed to help raise the mainsail. 12 lifting hatches provide unmatched ventilation. The vessel is equipped with reverse cycle heat and air conditioning that can operate from shore power or from the generator. The galley has great counter space, storage, and features a top loading freezer with front loading refrigerator. The large dinette is comfortable with clean upholstery and a large table for meals and entertaining. Accommodations include a proper master forward stateroom with ensuite head and a separate shower stall. Guests will enjoy twin aft staterooms with double berths and dedicated heads. Above deck you will find a large cockpit with folding leaf table with custom cushions and a walk-through transom complete with davits and a swim platform. There are wide decks and plenty of room to stretch out on the bow. When the wind picks up, the crew will appreciate the stout, well-placed handholds and mast pulpits. The cockpit is enclosed with clear Isinglass and a large Bimini for comfort. An EPIRB and inspected life raft are included. In 2020 her bottom was media blasted and barrier coated, she’ll have fresh paint again for the 2024 season. Don’t miss this opportunity to travel in comfort and style aboard Winter Passage. The boat is actively day sailed, and the systems are being exercised. Price is reflective of her age and some cosmetic blemishes.
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)
Draft(deep keel):6.92’/2.11m
Ballast:(deep keel):7,275 lbs/3300 kgs
Also called, or similar to, OCEANIS 473.
