Seller's Description

This 1986 Westwind 38 boasts a luxurious interior finished in solid teak, offering one of the most spacious and comfortable cabins in its class. The cabin features teak and holly soles, a mosaic-tiled head with shower, and perfectly fitted solid teak doors. Ventilation is top-notch with 5 Bowmar Ocean deck hatches, 7 stainless opening ports (with screens), and 6 fixed ports, all with shades. The overhead panels are easily removable for maintenance. Designed for offshore use, the boat includes numerous handholds and fiddles in the galley. Teak-lined lockers with automatic lights and deck prisms provide excellent natural light. The vessel is completely dry, with no mildew or leaks.

Forward, the master cabin offers a large, extendable berth with Tempur-Pedic bedding, ample storage including a mirrored locker, and private head access. The main salon features a bench sofa that converts into a sea berth, a teak oval table, ample storage, a flat-screen TV, DVD, and stereo. The galley includes a three-burner stove, oven, oversized fridge, double sinks with pressure and manual faucets, and extensive storage.

The guest cabin has an 8-foot-long berth, hidden vanity sink, and well-appointed storage. The cockpit is safe and comfortable for offshore use, equipped with custom cushions, a barbecue, stainless binnacle, autopilot, and a chartplotter/radar display. The deck is clean with teak handholds, streamlined running rigging, and 4 stainless dorade vents.

The electrical and plumbing systems are meticulously installed with labeled wiring and heavy-duty pumps. The hull was professionally refurbished in 2007 with a complete bottom job, including stripping, drying, and multiple layers of protective coatings.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.7 kn
Classic: 7.7 kn

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

8.65 knots
Classic formula: 7.7 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
15.7
<16: under powered

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.
15.69
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
39.1
<40: less stiff, less powerful

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

39.06
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
238.4
200-300: moderate

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
238.4
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
31.2
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat

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
31.18
<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
1.8
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

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
1.79
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
