We want to buy a bigger boat, but the Boss says that we need to sell this one first!
For sale is our much loved 1980 Pearson 30 - Jormungandr. As repair work is needed (see the end of the ad), and I need to move the boat quickly , the price is negotiable. Jormungandr currently resides at Great Bay Marine in Newington, NH.
The boat will be in the water until October 2nd. Afterwards, it will be on the hard.
Jormungandr has a standard P30 layout with all of the accouterments that you’d expect on a boat from this era. However, noteworthy items include:
190Amp hour LiFePO4 battery (2023) New marine toilet (2023) Raymarine tillerpilot (2023) 1500 watt pure sinewave inverter (2023) Induction cook top (2023) New rudder bearings (2023) Teak ladder treads (2023) 200 watts of solar (2021) VHF radio with built in GPS and AIS receiver (2021) Rewired mast (2021) Mostly all new interior/exterior lighting (2021) Combination Red/White cabin lights, USB charging stations, and 12V sockets throughout interior (2021) Diesel lift pump - makes priming the fuel line, after a fuel filter change, super easy (2021). Wind/Speed/Depth indicators 11 HP Universal diesel engine (heat exchanger and raw water pump impeller replaced in 2021, fresh water pump impeller replaced 2023) Edson wheel
The 150 Genoa and Main are in good shape for their age - still very cruiseable, but you won’t be winning any races. The 110 Genoa has seen very little use.
The exterior is above average - some P30s look better, but most don’t. Most of the pictures are from Summer/Fall 2023. Being the end of the season, the exterior is looking a little grubby, but nothing that a quick wash won’t fix.
The interior is exceptionally, neat, clean, and updated.
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)
In production for nearly 10 years, with more than 1000 built, this was one of Pearson’s most successful models. The designer, Bill Shaw, owned a Pearson 30 for a number of years.
Early models had Palmer inboards.
