1984 Islander Freeport 38C

Listed
Expired
$29,000 USD

Seller's Description

The owner bought this boat in 2020

General condition and any additional information

Really hate to sell, but my retirement plans have changed quite a bit.

Standard features

Incredible boat designed by Bob Perry with a pullman berth to port and head in the bow. Also has a unique swing down swim step in the stern. Rare model. Only 22 made. Raised salon affords a bright and sunny living area.

Comes fully loaded up with pretty much everything needed to go cruising. Almost ready. Over $35,000 invested in new equipment and repairs in the last 3 years to include a new engine. All new electronics to include Raymarine Quantum radar, Axiom 9 display, AIS, transponders, and VHF radio. AC/heat unit, 2x100 watt solar panels, running rigging, and a 10’ Walker Bay dinghy – all brand new. Standing rigging inspected and all ok. Bronze portlights. Fridge and stove with oven work great. Still need to complete the new engine install by hooking up the gauges and some additional wiring work. It is currently installed and running. It’s a Pathfinder 65MF diesel.

Calculations

Hull Speed
6.9 kn
Classic: 7.03 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

6.91 knots
Classic formula: 7.03 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.3
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.
16.31
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
45.3
>40: stiffer, more 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

45.3
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
365.2
300-400: heavy

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
365.18
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
31.1
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat

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
31.06
<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
1.9
<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
1.87
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

A re-design of the ISLANDER FREEPORT 36 and from the same molds.
Also called ISLANDER 38C. See ISLANDER 38C for more details.
