Seller's Description
Awesome boat in good condition. The original 320 was introduced in 1993 with over 1,000 hulls built. The 320 incorporates contemporary styling, smart ergonomics and the latest convenience features along with the excellent performance and handling characteristics the 320 is known for. The sail plan, weight and underbody of the original model has been preserved and continues the integrity of the class, so one-design 320 racing sailors can compete aboard all the 320 models.
From the large cockpit follow the lifelines toward to the bow and find easy passage to the fore deck with wide walkways and stainless steel handrails. Below decks you will find a very organized interior with a 3 cabin layout. The galley features large and easy to access double refrigerated/freezer icebox, double stainless sink, gimbaled propane stove/oven, and lots of storage. The private aft cabin has plenty of room to stretch out and offers ample storage and a changing seat. There is good access to the new Beta Marine engine from both the main cabin and the aft cabin.
The main salon has a dinette to port that converts to a double. The settee to stbd is a single. The galley is a U shaped set up that is smart and convenient. The head/shower is opposite to starboard and easy to maintain. As mentioned the enclosed aft stateroom has made this boat a hit and has been copied by the other manufacturers but not as successfully. There are no cushions currently for the aft stateroom.

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
8.1 kn
Classic: 7.09 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
-
16.5
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
-
35.4
<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
- Displacement/Length
-
230.2
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
-
22.2
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
-
2.1
>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
Notes
Draft for winged keel vers: 1.3m/4.25’
Updated MARK II version introduced in 1999.
