INCREDIBLE LIVEABOARD!! This Islander Freeport does need a few things, BUT, the bulk of it is high functioning. Overall, the interior is nice and dry. The 75HP Perkins is clean and runs beautifully, pushing her along at a solid 6kts or more. Full size refrigerator runs on 12V, 120V, and Propane. Two Solar panels Battery Charger Full suit of Sails Running Rigging is dirty but not that old and in good working condition. Profurl and Harken Furlers for Headsail and Staysail respectively. Two large Bruce Claw Anchors with 3/8 chain. Dinghy Davits with solar mounted on top. hull side paint looks very good. This is an amazing amount of boat for under $20,000.
Equipment: Things She’ll need…. Interior cushions in main salon. Windlass Floor covering- floors are bare plywood. House Battery Bank
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)
45’ LOA including bowsprit.
Derived from the ISLANDER 40MS, (originally designed by Charles Davies, also built by Cheoy Lee??). Updated with interior re-design by Robert Perry.
