Seller's Description

1982 COLVIN GAZELLE FOR SALE - GAFF CUTTER KETCH - CORTEN STEEL - $9500 USD O.B.O. - SAN BLAS, NAYARIT, MEXICO Length on deck: 42 feet Name: LE PATRIOTE Registry: CANADA Many more videos and photos available, just ask. Rigged as a gaff cutter-ketch (the mizzen is a pointy-headed sail). Aluminium masts in tabernacles. Oversized stainless standing rigging of unknown age, looks to be in good condition, no meat hooks. From fore to aft: yankee, boomed jib, gaff main, bermudan mizzen. Accommodations: From forward to aft – V-berth forward, then storage to port and head to starboard, then a dinette to starboard and settee / pilot berth to port, then galley to starboard and large nav station storage to port. Then the engine room / workshop with tonnes of storage (crouch height only). Aft cabin does not have standing headroom either, but is roughly a foot higher than the engine room. It contains two single berths and a lot of storage room. Could be converted to contain a double berth. Rough but sailable and livable. I bought this boat at auction in Monterey, California in September of last year, and sailed it 1200 miles down to Pacific Mexico, with no problems. Used about four gallons of diesel over the whole trip, so you know she can sail. The boat is currently on the hard in San Blas, Nayarit, Mexico, in one of the greatest cruising areas of the world. The yard storage fee is paid in advance in full until February 2025 (was around $250 a month, not sure what it will be this year). The yard allows working on the boat, but not living aboard while on the hard. I’m told a studio apartment can be found in town for about 600 USD per month. Looking for well-informed and motivated new owner who will not abandon her.

Equipment: Engine is a 10HP Sabb with a variable pitch propeller, runs great. I’m told it was rebuilt in the past few years but I have no documentation of that. All I did was change all the oils and impeller and alternator. It needs a new lubing wick inserted in the head lubing cup (can be home-made). There is no fuel pump currently and a gravity-fed setup is in place. The boat has an integral fuel tank of unknown capacity, but it’s currently isolated and presumed to be full of gunk. I didn’t have time to mess with it. Steering gear is worm gear, windlass is manual. For ground tackle, I have a 40lbs Bruce and a 40lbs CQR backup, as well as a lighter Bruce for a stern anchor. 200 feet of galvanized chain. Approx 100ft of spare galvanized chain in the bilge. Spare rope rode too, don’t know how long. Portholes are bronze with some kind of plexiglass in them that has fogged up. Maybe they could be polished clear but I didn’t try. Included equipment: - 670W of brand new bifacial solar panels and 10GA tinned wiring - 800VA Victron inverter - Victron battery monitor - DC-to-DC charger to charge lithium batteries off the engine - Victron solar charging controller - VHF radio - Expired and probably no-good life raft - Hard dinghy - 46lbs thrust electric dinghy motor - Inflatable kayak and paddles - All running rigging replaced with new or good-used - Brand new heavy dock lines - Piles of spares, fasteners, wiring, electrical spares, fittings, paint, epoxy, lubes and so on - Fuel transfer pump and fuel polishing filters - Fuel and water jerries - Head is a composting Nature’s head - Ice box - Solid fuel heating stove - Life jackets and new flares, flare gun - 12V fans (not installed) - Gimballed two-burner kerosene stove and oven Equipment NOT included: - House and starter batteries. I took them off so they wouldn’t go bad in the heat - CPT wheel autopilot

Calculations

Hull Speed
?

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

?
Classic formula: ?
Sail Area/Displacement
?

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: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
?

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

?
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
?

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
?
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
?

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
?
<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
?

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