Seller's Description
This boat has been a great boat to me. It makes me sad to see her go. Over the 7 years of owning her, I have done lots of work to keep her in safe sailing condition. She sails almost once a week and is raced during beer can seasons (and wins sometimes!). She is a fast, well balanced, heavily built boat that can take you most places in the bay safely. Whether you are an experienced sailor or have no experience, this boat is great for all levels. Obviously, I love this boat and would love to see it go to someone who will not only care for it, but enjoy it as much as I do.
Equipment: Interior: (most work was completed in 2016) New cushions, still in great shape. The interior was repainted and touched up as needed. All wood was re-stained and re-varnished. New maple counter tops for sink and stove area New sink installed. New 14-gallon water tank House water filtration system installed LED red/white dome lights TV connected to antenna Stereo with sounds system. Camp toilet in the bathroom Automatic water pump for sinks New 110 wiring and plugs New 12v wiring and switchboard New VHF radio with GPS New bilge pump with check valve installed Exterior: New topside paint Bottom repainted in February 2023 at Spaulding Boat Works Bottom is cleaned regularly. Lifelines replaced Running rigging replaced in 2015 Standing rigging replaced in 2020 New main sail in 2018 New jib in 2018, needs repair or replacement Selden furler installed 2022, could use some adjusting 15 HP Johnson outboard, runs well but could use a tune up Raymarine T1000 Tiller Auto Pilot Larger washers added behind all high pressure points Two self tailing Harken jib sheet winches LED Nav lights and spreader lights
Potential Issues: The existing Atomic 4 engine was removed by the previous owner. I have added sandbags in the same location to balance the boat out. The outboard works well, but it should be given a once over by a qualified mechanic. I replaced the impeller this year and changed the lower gear oil. Two windows have very slight leaks when it rains heavily. The berth hatch window leaks in heavy rain. Steaming light inop

Calculations

6.7 kn
Classic: 6.21 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
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
16.7
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.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
41.7
>40: stiffer, more 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
- Displacement/Length
-
270.0
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
- Comfort Ratio
-
20.8
20-30: coastal cruiser
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
- Capsize Screening
-
2.0
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
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

Universal Atomic 4 Gas inboard optional.
