Seller's Description

Im selling my sweet, vintage Cal 2-27 Sailboat, one of the plastic classics, designed by Bill Lapworth, from 1974 - 1980, as a racer/cruiser marketed to couples and families.

This beloved 1977 vessel has been well-maintained with many upgrades over the years. She boasts 6 feet of headroom in the cabin and all lines lead to the cockpit for singlehanded sailing.

Equipment: Inboard Universal Atomic 4 gasoline engine w/18 gallon fuel tank

Main sail, 155 genoa with roller-furler, 2 spinnakers, spinnaker pole, 1 gennaker, and an old jib and main. Mid-boom traveler and Boomkicker.

2018 B&G Triton 2 dual color displays which includes wind direction and speed, boat speed, timer, depth and temperature. Autopilot (tiller type).

Pro Sport Dual Battery Trickle charger, (2) 12 volt marine batteries, shore power cord.

Newer Standard Horizon Explorer 1700 Marine VHF Radio with integrated GPS and DSC calling capabilities

Bimini, sail cover, boom tent and other covers

2 anchors, one Bruce and one Danforth, both with tackle

Life Sling and bosuns chair, fenders and dock lines

Seven winches 2 are self-tailing

Electronic fuel pump and ignition;

Custom metal cradle with removable wheels and tongue for transporting the cradle

This sailboat is being sold as is, and is currently in her slip at Waukegan Harbor and Marina until mid-September. Thereafter, shell be decommissioned and placed on her cradle, under her winter cover, on the hard, at Larsen Marine in Waukegan, IL.

A Purchase at Full Asking Price will include the following:

A custom Ship Shape winter cover in excellent condition, (a $2k value), bought in 2021.

A Standard Horizon handheld vhf radio with GPS and DSC calling capabilities, a Magma charcoal grill; a microwave oven, a Thetford Porta-Potty and more.

A decommissioning lesson/demo (if desired) on how to: change the oil, winterize the engine; fog the cylinders, and clean/winterize the bilge at a mutually agreed upon time/date.

Showings are on Friday afternoons and weekends, by appointment only. Serious inquiries Only. I will not reply to texts. I will reply only to email or phone calls.

Calculations

Hull Speed
?

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

?
Classic formula: ?
Sail Area/Displacement
?

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

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

?
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
?

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
?
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
?

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
?
<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
?

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