Pearson 365 ketch. Built in 1978, she is a masthead sloop. Length overall is 36.5 while LWL is 30. Hull speed is 7kts. Draft is 4.5 so she doesn’t have a problem in shallow water. Her main mast is 46. The engine is a Perkins 4.108 (10hp) with a V-drive transmission which was serviced last year at a local boat yard. Since being serviced, the engine has less than 50 hrs and upon rebuild we purchased a new High Pressure Diesel pump ($$$). A new bottom job was completed last year and amazingly had no blistering. She has both a 50 gallon fresh water tank with a working water pump and a 50 gallon diesel tank. Neither myself or the previous two owners have used the blackwater tank or the head so you wont have an issue with pump out or funky smells. Two anchors are included: one plow and one danforth. Sails are in fair condition although she comes with a second main which is in better condition. Both the mizzen and main are missing a few battens. The headsail is on a recently serviced roller furler which has never given us a problem. New sheets are included on the genoa. New main block. All Lewmar winches were serviced last year. Includes a bimini although the cloth will likely need replacing in the next 5 or 6 years. We replaced the port side toe rail last year; however the starboard side isn’t as new. No softspots and both deck hatches function although the main cabin has a drip.
The Galley is U shaped. It has cupboard storage and an Icebox. There is a Force 10 stove which uses a propane locker in a separate tank in the rear lazarette. The pedestal needs a compass; however, I am including an older one which could be serviced, fabricated, sold or traded for the correct size. New wheel and the steering chain has just been refurbed and works like a charm. The rudder is a fin on skeg type. The depth sounder, knot reader hour counter work although I have not connected the temperature gauge on the new control panel- Trans Atlantic Diesel. The standing rigging could be replaced but works fine.
Equipment: Perkins 4.108 Engine. V-drive. Max-prop folding propeller. Sails: Main, Mizzen, and Head. Two extra included in better condition. Water heater (6 gallons). Beacon
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)
Available as sloop, ketch, or cutter.
