This boat is an absolute gem - excellent condition, beautifully appointed, comprehensive restoration in 2010 includes Awlgrip repaint (hull & topsides), upgraded Raymarine navigation system (autopilot, radar, GPS, chart plotter). Located in Westbrook Connecticut. Very well-maintained and clean through-out with lots of custom features and amenities.
Sloop rig, Fiberglass construction, Bulb keel, Wheel steering - 28 Hp Volvo 2003 Inboard Diesel engine (new in 1993). ACCOMODATIONS: V-berth forward w/stowage, port-side single w/stowage, q-berth port, double berth stbd., enclosed head with hanging locker, chart table to port, galley to stbd., 2-burner propane stove, Adler-Barbour refrigeration, gimbaled stainless steel sink and stovetop, two hatches. CONSTRUCTION: Red fiberglass hull and fiberglass deck (Awlgrip in 2010), wheel steering, lifelines/gates, bow pulpit, swim ladder, bulb keel, skeg-hung rudder. COCKPIT: Pedestal-mounted wheel steering (leather-covered wheel) with binnacle table w/grab-rail. RIGGING: Aluminum mast and boom w/ internal running rigging and jiffy reefing, stainless steel standing rigging, roller furling headsail, boom vang, topping lift, flag halyard, hydraulic backstay adjuster. Numerous upgrades too many to list. Detailed spec sheet provided on request.
Equipment: For details of equipment listing for electronics, cabin & galley, electrical & power, sails, rigging, safety equipment, etc. please call or email me directly using the contact info below. Many thanks!
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)
Not to be confused with the DUFOUR 3800 AKA DUFOUR 31 FRERS (1980).
