This 1976 44’ Camper and Nicholson Center Cockpit Ketch is a rare hard to find world cruiser and must be considered a project vessel. If you are looking to cruise on a tough built center cockpit sailor, then look no further. Your classic cruiser is here in Stuart, Fl. ready to rebuild today. If living on the hook sounds good to you, she is ready for that lifestyle. This vessel has most of your cruising needs in mind from the bench rebuilt diesel all the way to the 16 gallon and hour watermaker. The easy to use linear drive autopilot will do the driving and the generator and air conditioner will keep you cool at anchor. The solar panels keep the fridge operational while charging the batteries and allow for simple 12V power. The vessel is owned by a licensed captain who has completed many of the projects leaving this project to be finished by a new owner. The boat has only 1 toilet forward leaving the aft head open for the installation of a composting head if desired. Gypsy Soul can be ready and willing to take a new owner to destinations world wide in safety and comfort when the project is completed. If this well built cruiser project is what you are looking for, please call Barry at 954-873-1800 and start your life on the water right now.

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)
