Seller's Description

Moving out of the area and selling Lula, a 1983 C&C MkII. Asking $7,500. Lula checks all of the boxes for a smaller cruiser or racer. She has a full V-berth, and quarter berth, full galley, and enclosed head with shower. In the main cabin is a settee berth and a double berth located where the table folds. In the cockpit, she has wheel steering, powered by a Yanmar 2GM20 diesel, a large starboard locker, and two stern seat lockers, one which holds the new propane tank for the cooktop. Lula has a Raymarine SeaTalkng network with the i50 depth gauge and thru-hull transducer, the Raymarine p70 Auto-pilot system, and the Raymarine Axiom7Dv chart plotter (not installed) with custom Navpod, all purchased in late 2023. Aux power supplied by a Renogy 100 watt solar grid with controller and two Duracell marine batteries (01/2024). New VHF radio, New Dometic 2 burner cooktop and 10lb steel propane tank in stern locker. All fittings there but not installed. New Johnson head not installed. Sails and sheets in good shape, as well as rigging hardware. Hull speed up to 6 knots. She is a breeze to sail under the jib and for true speed, has a large mainsail and comes with a smaller mainsail in great condition. I will add interior picks and more deck pics this weekend. Also for sale is a 2024 West Marine inflatable dingy with a Yamaha 3hp outboard. Lula is currently on a mooring ball at Green Cove Springs Marina near Jacksonville, FL.

Equipment: Yanmar 2GM20 Renogy 100 watt 12v Solar system Raymarine p70 Auto-Pilot Raymarine i50 Depth gauge/transducer Raymarine Axiom7Dv chart plotter Standard Horizon GX1400 VHF Several additional goodies stay with the boat. Not all equipment is installed as noted above and is in new condition.

Calculations

Hull Speed
6.9 kn
Classic: 6.33 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

6.86 knots
Classic formula: 6.33 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
17.8
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.
17.83
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
40.3
>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

40.31
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
268.2
200-300: moderate

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
268.18
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
21.4
20-30: coastal cruiser

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
21.44
<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
2.0
>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
2.0
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Shoal draft: 4.0’.
Entirely different design from the earlier C&C 29 (1977).
Built in US and Canada.
