The beautiful 37-foot yacht is a gorgeous design reminiscent of the classic Alpa designs of the 1960s and 1970s. The boat is registered as a “Homemade” boat because, like many classic yachts, the hull identification numbers and brand markings are gone. Thankfully, this beautiful yacht is still with us.
A sleek classic design with a fiberglass hull and a long integrated keel. The rudder is keel hung, this boat slides through the swell and leaves a quiet wake behind, like the forgotten memories she shared at sea.
Below decks the gorgeous wood cabinets, bulkhead, and sole are irreplaceable. She sleeps two in her forward berth and two more in the settees in the salon. A Dometic hatch air conditioner cools the cabin and keeps the humidity out.
Onboard is a Beta Marine 28 HP diesel engine for auxiliary power. She is tiller steered and the owner indicates the hull is 3/4” thick fiberglass.
On deck are Haulsey main and jib sails. The jib is roller furling.
This classic is sure to be a star at the yacht club, or in your marina slip!
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)
S&S design #1718. Also sold as the WALTON 37. Some were sold as bare hull/kit boats.
