May 29, Update. Still for Sale. Good condition Flicka 20 Pocket Cruiser for Solo Sailor or a couple. The Boat is very clean, with no “boat smell” I recently completed a 400 mile cruise along the west coast of florida, and a 600 mile cruise to Florida Keys. The boat is well maintained and outfitted for cruising. Think of it as an RV van on the water, perfect for multi day adventures where comfort is not sacrificed for ease of sailing. The boat is rigged for easy solo sailing with all functions controlled from the cockpit. An all electric galley supported by 600 AH house bank, 300 watts solar, 3000K inverter charger, and 35QT Fridge Freezer, make meal preparations and storage very simple. New cushions make the cabin comfortable for sleeping, and a separate head with portable toilet, provides privacy for taking care of business. The Flicka 20 is forgiving under sail, easy to anchor and dock, yet still provides the safety and comfort for multi day adventures.

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)
