Seller's Description
Yes, DILLIGAF is for sale. This is the easiest boat to sail, you have no idea how many people approached me over 18 years telling me what I should do to make the boat go faster…
This is a wonderful racing/cruiser boat: it can do it all the races, has done most in the PNW, and has won a number. If you want to race with friends you can put 9 people on the boat (1st Cow Bay Regatta 2005), if you want to do long distance (numerous podium finishes Van Isle 2007, 2009), if you have fewer friends and want to race short-handed (Doublehanded against full crews – Southern Straits 2017 -1st in Division, 3rd on Course; Southern Straits 2015 – 2nd in Division) or if you are isolating due to Covid race single-handed (1st Place NYC Covid Cup 2020).
The boat has been raced hard for 30 years and bears her racing scars well, that said: there are 7 berths and enclosed head, and single burner fully gimballed stove with sink in the galley. With some loving care, the boat can make a wonderfully fast weekend cruiser.
The owner’s wife wants more headroom when standing, more foot room while sleeping and a larger galley to do some real distance cruising. So, it is time to say goodbye – I will be sad to see her sail away (or if you want to tow her to far lands there is also a fully adjustable trailer for < 30-foot boats weighing < 10,000lbs which is also available).

Calculations

9.7 kn
Classic: 6.91 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
- Sail Area/Displacement

23.5
>20: high 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.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
36.1
<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
- Displacement/Length
-
115.1
100-200: light
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
- Comfort Ratio
-
13.8
<20: lightweight racing 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
- Capsize Screening
-
2.2
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
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
