This 1985 Jeanneau Arcadia is a perfect day sailing boat with a reliable engine for fun on the bay.
It has nice looking wood below, modern design features, self-tailing winches, good family size, a swing keel, and her decks are fine. I like that for 29 feet it has tiller steering and a large cockpit for entertaining. The engine is whisper quiet. The hull is sound with a matrixed, encapsulated keel. The lifting keel is ideal for the Chesapeake 4’7” in up position. The boat is light and performs quite well for a cruiser.
Reason for the sale is that I have moved over to a big power boat.
What’s wrong: (*tired of boat work fairies) - Very little wired aside from motor. AC looks OK untested - Cutlass bearing is OK but is coming due for service - Minor leaks companionway/center hatch/rebed of rigging - 2 minor collision to stern and port where rail bent/abraded gel coat stern (2x4in), impact to portside (2x2 in) gel coat and piece of lower toe rail removed - Starboard (1/3 rail popped off and to be rebed. In area of very strong inside reinforced and still intact deck-hull joint, stanchion knocked off so there is some risk to the core - In adjacent area rigging mild gel coat cracks - Water tank missing port side
Equipment: - Engine Power: Single 13 HP Yanmar 2GM - Engine/Fuel Type: Diesel - 2 Heavy Duty House Batteries - 2 - 275 Amp hour T105-RE - Roller Furler
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)
Based on SUN FAST, 1/2 ton racer, prototype.
Keel/cb version was also available.
Draft (max.) 6.50’ / 1.98m
Draft (min.) 3.58’ / 1.09m
Displacement: 6835 lbs./ 3100 kgs.
Ballast: 2912 lbs. / 1321 kgs.
Reintroduced as SUN DREAM 28 (1987).
Later became SUN WAY 28 which was built until 1992.
Of all versions, it is thought that more than 800 were built.
