The Bristol Cutter Channel is a meticulously maintained sailing vessel designed for both performance and comfort. Featuring a robust 35C3 Westerbeke engine with only 600 hours, this boat has received numerous upgrades in late 2023, including a new inverter, alternator, and exhaust elbows, along with a rebuilt raw water pump. Its equipped with a new whisker pole and rigging, a teak cockpit grate, and an autopilot, ensuring seamless and enjoyable sailing experiences. With its manual flush head, stern reel, winter cover, and design for single-hand sailing, its an ideal choice for solo adventurers seeking reliability and ease of handling.

The vessel boasts impressive dimensions with a length overall (LOA) of 37’ 9”, a beam of 10’ 1”, and a draft of 5’, weighing in at 14,000 lbs. It offers ample tankage with 20 gallons of fuel capacity, 52 gallons of water capacity, and a 12-gallon holding tank. Accommodations are comfortable for up to three people, with three single berths available. The inboard engine, driven by a direct drive type, delivers 31 horsepower and runs on diesel fuel, emphasizing efficiency and power for extended voyages.

The electronics and mechanical features on the Bristol Cutter Channel are top-notch, including a Furuno NavNet C-Map NT, a Raymarine Smart Pilot autopilot, an iCom IC-M330 VHF, and an iCom IC-M800 Marine Transceiver. The galley is well-equipped with a three-burner stove and oven, a stainless steel single sink, and a cutting board stove cover, making meal preparation a breeze. On the exterior, youll find a precision mainsail, Hasse & Company Port Townsend foresails.

Calculations

Hull Speed
?

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

?
Classic formula: ?
Sail Area/Displacement
?

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: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
?

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: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
?

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
?
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
?

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
?
<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
?

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