Having owned ESCONDIDA for 14 years we’ve had plenty of time to lavish her with upgrades. ESCONDIDA has been setup for long term cruising, weekends, or seasonal use. Between the wind generator and solar the engine seldom needs to be run to keep the batteries charged, the water tank full and the beer cold. In her current state ESCONDIDA is fully prepared to continue cruising the US East coast, Bahamas or Caribbean with minimal fuss. The deck and hull were just painted in 2021, the bottom paint was new in 2021. This is a vessel that would cost someone thousands of extra dollars to replicate with a less well equipped hull. Sailing the ketch rig upwind allows for many options depending on wind and sea state, downwind with the spinnaker ESCONDIDA keeps pace with much larger vessels.
*Amateur HF (HAM) radio, and clock/barometer set not included in sale. **preliminary listing/photos, once boat is de-cluttered from cruising more interior photos will be added

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)
See SEAWIND MKII KETCH (ALLIED) for more details.
Also called SEAWIND 32.
Updated vers. of SEAWIND 30. The Seawind II came to the market in 1975 as the successor to the original SEAWIND. Production of the SEABREEZE , LUDERS 33, and CHANCE 30-30 was stopped to fill orders for this new model. But the price was much higher and customers continued to order the old version instead. For a while both models were being built at the same time while sales of the new version remained weak, the economy slowed and the company approached melt down.
Available as staysail ketch, cutter, or sloop (rare). Rack & pinion (on deck) wheel steering was standard.
