In the mid to late 70s, Charlie Morgan after selling Morgan Yachts, began the Heritage Yacht Corp and started building Three West Indies models, the 36, the 38 and the 46. These boats were built with heavy hand laid fiberglass and a beamy interior to accommodate the cruising market with tough built center cockpit vessels. Breaking Wind is a 38 Heritage West Indies center cockpit ketch has a rebuilt interior offering new cushion covers throughout, some new electronics and a 2 PRIVATE stateroom layout with 1 head in Captains Quarters and I Head accessible the 2nd PRIVATE stateroom and separate entry from salon. The decks with non-slip and her exterior has all newer canvas AND NEW BIMINI TO NOT INSTALLED YET. The cockpit is over 6 feet in height. Existing Bimini top plus a New Backup one in Storage. Large Stainless wheel steering with newer wheel RAY MARINE auto-pilot and a huge cockpit locker The bottom was inspected in March 2014 and no blistering was found and the BOTTOM was painted. The rudder and centerboard has a full keel Draws 4.5 foot up and 8’ down. She is propelled by a Perkins 4-108 in GOOD running condition and large 2 bladed Racing Bronze prop for good speed under sail. Sails-2/3 Jenny on roller furling, behind that Working Sail, then Main, and Mizzen, 4 Sails plus Spinnaker, Canvas covers for hatches, and Danforth compass

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.8 kn
Classic: 7.64 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

8.79 knots
Classic formula: 7.64 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.8
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.
16.84
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
44.1
>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

44.12
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
220.8
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
220.81
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
27.9
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
27.87
<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
1.9
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

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
1.87
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Scaled down verson of MORGAN OI 41, from the same mold as the WEST INDIES 36 and with the same rig.
Keel/cb version also available.
