2007 Catalina 18 MkII (sail no. 711) with wing keel in excellent condition. The sails look great and were professionally cleaned and restitched last winter by SailCare. The mainsail has two reefing points and the jib is on a CDI roller furler with a new UV panel.
The boat has a bow pulpit, lifelines, a large dry and comfortable cockpit with all lines lead to the cockpit, a topping lift, boom vang and sail cover for the mainsail.
The Catalina 18 MkII is nicer than its predecessor, the Capri 18, in a variety of ways. The edges and corners of the deck, cabin top, side lights and cockpit have been rounded and softened for nicer aesthetics, and greater comfort and safety. The main sheet is rigged to a swiveling cam cleat atop a Barney post mounted to the floor of the cockpit rather than the end-boom sheeting used on the Capri 18. Finally, there is no wood to maintain on the MkII so you can spend more time sailing and less time maintaining.
The boat has a complete set of white vinyl cushions for the cabin and cockpit, all in excellent condition. There is a Porta-Potti that stows under the V berth, a brand new Standard Horizon VHF radio with mast top antenna, 12 volt marine battery, bulkhead mounted compass, manual bilge pump, Danforth anchor and rope anchor rode. There are separate lockable gear and fuel lockers in the cockpit.
The roadworthy 2006 Trail-Rite galvanized steel trailer has a tongue extension for ramp-launching and keel guides to assist in retrieval at the ramp. The trailer has just been professionally rewired with LED lighting and the wheel bearings have been inspected and repacked.
Auxiliary power is provided by a 2023 Torqeedo 1103CL electric outboard (3 hp equivalent) with two (2) Torqeedo lithium ion batteries (a main and a spare), a Torqeedo solar charger for the batteries (and a 120 volt home charger) and canvas carry cases. The Torqeedo gear alone cost about $4,500.
The boat is in a fresh water slip at the marina at Lake Marburg in Hanover, York Co, Pennsylvania until Oct 31.
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)
A taller mast was available.
