This is an excellent entry level, well equipped sailboat for a liveaboard while exploring Mexican waters.
“Double D” has been on the Sea of Cortez scene for many years. A veteran of passages from Alaska to Southern Mexico.
The boat is outfitted for extended off grid cruising with solar and water-maker. There is lots of room aboard for comfortable living in a 33 foot hull. Easy sailing and a shallow draft gets you in to hundreds of anchorages, close in to shore, inside of deeper draft vessels. Her ground tackle/anchor and electric windlass keeps you safe while anchored out. If you’re new to sailing and cruising, you won’t find a better choice, for your first fully outfitted live aboard. Double D has been well maintained, and is currently on the hard during the Covid shutdown. Ready to be washed down, checked over and splashed for your cruising adventures this fall.
Equipment: Ground tackle; 35lb CQR anchor, 35lb Danforth for stern anchoring, 250 ft of 1⁄4 chain cleaned and re-galvanized (in 2019) Anchor winch (new 2018) Sail inventory; Full baton main w/ball-bearing mast guides and mast track (new 2016) Head sails, Jeniker, 170, 135, 110.

Small boat; 10ft Achilles RIB w/9.9 outboard motor. (2012)
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)
