The owner bought this boat in 2019
General condition and any additional information
I love this beige beauty! But, family could take it or leave it. Also, job hours reduced from full-time to .20 time after twenty years of employment. Will have to let something go. Boat goes first. This is not a fixer-upper! Since purchasing mid-season a year ago, I have sailed her at least once a week, day-sailing only, on Lake St. Clair. With rudder upgrade, she handles wonderfully. Have had her in the 5 knot range consistently; even 6 knots in the right conditions and sail set-up. As with any 30+ year old boat, there were things on my list to get to. However, none require immediate attention. I have a full survey of the boat from a year ago when I purchased her from her second owner who took excellent care of her. The boat sits on her cradle (which could be placed on a flat-bed-type trailer for transport) in the off-season, completely winterized and shrunk wrapped - October to May. Presently, she is in her slip until I either sell her or haul her out in early October. More photos coming soon.

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)
The most popular sailboat (in this size range) ever built in the US.
