I bought this boat almost five years ago. I taught myself how to sail on it. It was exclusively a freshwater summer boat until last fall when I decided to take it from Erie Pennsylvania across the Erie canal, down the Hudson and down the ICW to St Augustine. It has been a wonderful companion and I am sad to let it go. But I’ve been smitten by another boat and I must leave my first love behind. :-).
It was designed by Alan Payne and built in 1977. It has the distinctive wineglass transom he is famous for. It is set up for solo sailing with a furling jib and the main halyard led back to the cockpit. There’s room for two more lines to feed back.
Two Lewmar self tailing winches.
Hawkeye depth guage
Raymarine ST40 Speed indicator
Brand new unused main sail - old one is still good.
30HP Universal Atomic 4 engine with PerTronix 1146A electronic ignition that runs perfectly. It never let me down on the two month trip from Erie.
Manual toilet with a new 14 gal. holding tank.
Two burner Princess alcohol stove
Stainless sink with foot pump and 30 gal water tank.
The V-berth can sleep two and the main cabin has two more settee bunks so theoretically four people can sleep. That would be for short stays over a weekend. But realistically I’d say two people max when you take account of the stuff you need to live on board for any length of time.
6’1” headroom.
Lots of storage space for equipment & supplies.
Includes a SetPower refrigerator and two Renogy 100W solar panels so you can go off grid for some time.

The boat is in the water in St Augustine ready to sail when you are.

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)
Volvo Penta Diesel was available as an option.
A similar boat was also sold as the HUGHES 27.
