Seller's Description

Go to Sailing Texas classifieds for current sailboats for sale Alerion Express 19, 1998 sailboat for sale This 2001 Gary Hoytdesign sailboat is unusual in that it is mostly a cat boat hull with a loosefooted main that rolls up on the free standing carbon fiber mast. This is mounted onand in ball bearings. The boom is an independent, deck-mounted, patented, Hoytfree-standing self-vanging construction. The hull was builtwith scrimp technology, Fiberglass/carbon fiber.

Overall length: 19.7’ Length Waterline: 18.92’ Beam: 8.67’ Draft swing keel up: 1’ Draft swing keel down: 4.17’ down Mast height above waterline: 39’ Displacement: 1,750 lbs Ballast: 300 lbs Sail area: 272 sq. ft.

This is a 1998 Sail # 3 and comes with a good trailer and Nissan 4hp outboard Also I have a Ginpole that mounts on the trailer for mast removal and stepping.

Also has an optional center cockpit table in new condition. Not shown in pictures

I’ve owned this boat for the last 10 years and absolutely love it. Prior to purchasing this cat boat I owned a Hershoff 18 catboat and liked it As well, but it was not even close to having the same ease of sailing And performance. My only reason for selling is my age 86 and current health. The boat is on a hydro hoist so has has a perfect bottom albeit also With bottom paint so could be docked in the water. AND is available for A test sail with a days notice. I still sail it every couple weeks and it is Solid and in great sailing condition. All it needs is a good clean up and A little TLC Offered for $14000 OBO

The boat is located at Austin Yacht Club, Lake Travis TX

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.0 kn
Classic: 6.88 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

8.01 knots
Classic formula: 6.88 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
18.7
16-20: good performance

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.
18.73
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
37.9
<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

37.94
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
212.4
200-275: 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
212.39
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
24.3
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
24.33
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
1.8
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

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
1.8
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Shoal draft 4.0’
