1972 Camper & Nicholsons 48ft Center Cockpit Ketch

Listed
Expired
$80,000 USD

Seller's Description

For sale is my camper nicholson 48ft ketch which I have been traveling full time as a cruiser for the last 18 months. I am listing her competitively at 80K for 2-3 weeks while I finish her refit before I list with a broker. Price will be higher at that point.

SV MYTHICS Background: Prior to the beginning of our voyage she got an on the hard refit. Every system was gone over, every through hull either replaced or serviced, hoses replaced, electrical fittings and cables optimized, she was brought up to spec, and many of her systems were updated, new ones added, and she was made ready for an around the world sail. Description and details of everything replaced, maintenanced, and recertified can be found in person or through email correspondence (i.e. I am not going to list in this post every hose I replaced, but you will see equipment replacement etc below). Now, after 3000Nm of traveling I am currently putting her through another refit, outfitting her with some upgrades and aesthetic improvements. These are ongoing. Unfortunately, life changes have made me choose to sell her instead of continuing my voyage, and I wish she goes to someone who will carry on my dream.

Description: Sailing Vessel Mythic, is a Sparkman and Stevens designed yacht with a Heavily hand laid solid fiberglass hull, and cored deck. She has a cutaway full keel, and skeg hung rudder. She was built for the Baltic sea, as she is an english boat, and can sail in very heavy weather without stress or fatigue to her crew (I can attest to this!). She is not the fastest yacht, but with her length shell still outpace all the smaller boats. Expect to cruise at 7.5 kts without stress. Camper & Nicholsons, the manufacturer, are well renowned in their attention to quality and craftsmanship, and this shows in the boat. I would love to show these features to interested parties, as I am still blown away by the design and strength of her. Simply put, she has gotten us where we need to go in the comfort of a heavy displacement cruising hull, and on anchor she still has all the amenities you could want.

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
