Embark on an unforgettable coastal adventure with SV Saturnus, a meticulously maintained and fully loaded Ericson 32-2. This seaworthy vessel has been the trusted companion of her owner and crew for 17 years, navigating the waters from Hawaii to the coasts of Vancouver Island, with countless thrilling voyages in between. Saturnus is cutter rigged for short-handed sailing with both a Hydrovane wind-vane and a Raymarine autopilot, ensuring effortless navigation even on the longest passages. Her integrated three-quarter keel and well-proportioned rudder, complemented by the hydrovane rudder, provide very good tracking and lateral stability, making her a joy to handle in any sea conditions. Shes been built and rigged for comfort and safety. The galley has a gimbaled methyl hydrate stove. There are plenty of BTUs, a full kettle will boil in15 minutes. The radar and AIS have proven invaluable assets, guiding you through the fog and low visibility that can often shroud these waters. With a draft of just 5 feet, Saturnus is the perfect gunkholer, able to access secluded anchorages inaccessible to larger vessels. She has a new windlass and a Espar diesel heater and sturdy Bruce anchor with 100 feet of chain and 250 feet of rode to keep you secure and comfortable, even in the fiercest of blows. Her two 65 Watt solar panels keep you in power while you can lower and raise your dinghy on strong stainless steel davits. Saturnus offers a cosy, bright and inviting living space, comfortably accommodating up to four crew members with her double v-berth, single settee, double settee, and quarter berth. Her latest investment in 2024, a new 110% jib and fully battened mainsail with three reefs from Leitch & McBride, All structural work has been completed by Blackline Marine, the engine work completed by Gartside and regularly serviced by a professional diesel marine mechanic. Her hull bottom and integral keel were rebuilt using an epoxy barrier in 2014. Her drive train has been upgraded with a new three-bladed prop, transmission, and flexible coupling in 2021.

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)
The first ERICSON 32 (also known as the SCORPION 32 - 1966) was a completely different boat and was only produced for a short period of time. (See ERICSON SCORPION 32)
This, far more popular version, is conventionally referred to as ERICSON 32-2. It began production in 1969 and hull numbers 101 through 573 were built by 1978.
The Ericson 32-3 didn’t begin production until 1985.
