Arabella Classic 38 ft ketch The Downeaster 38 was designed and constructed by Downeast Yachts in Santa Ana, CA to meet the special demands of extended world voyaging. Even if your plans don’t include a major cruise, it’s comforting to know shes built to uncompromising standards for strength, speed and safety. Her clipper bow, wineglass transom, and clear deck areas offer a classically graceful appearance while housing a comfortable interior.
Equipment: Awlgrip hull and Standing Rig Barrier coated and fresh bottom All new thru-hull sea valves Shrouds have been increased in size and grade with hasseford sta-lock turnbuckle fittings 12 vdc & 120 vac paneltroniics 4 batteries, 2-4ft arco solar panels mounted on edison davits Raymarine gps/radar, depth & knot log New head, holding tank & all plumbing replaced Yanmar 4JH/50hp, 16” michigan prop CQR, Bruce, Danford anchors Life raft, dingy, 3hp outboard
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)

Available with a Cutter, Ketch or Schooner rig.
