This Pearson 303 in excellent condition, turn key ready to sail and is number 323 of 325 built. Has all the updates that were made throughout its production run. Always a freshwater boat, it came from Lake Champlain, VT in 2016 to the Great Sacandaga Lake in Mayfield NY. Two-cylinder Yanmar Diesel engine, serviced regularly and runs great. New mainsail and lazy jacks added in the Fall of 2021. 150 Genoa on roller Furler in very good condition. Two reefs on main sail with all lines and sheets leading back to the cockpit for easy and safe handling Canvas includes mainsail cover, dodger, Bimini and bridge cover between dodger and Bimini. Two large opening hatches in cabin top along with eight opening side ports for great ventilation. Shore power for lights, hot water tank (also heated with engine cooling system) and battery charger/tender. Newer holding tank bladder and water tank bladder. Head with shower and small vanity. Cabin is quite large with 63 headroom and with a beam of under 11. V-Berth is large and comfortably sleeps two. Cabin cushions in excellent condition. Nav station and Quarter berth on starboard side. Galley has sink with hot and cold pressurized water, LP gas stove and large cooler to keep food cold. Cockpit has helm with wind speed/direction indicator and compas. Cushions for all seating areas in the Cockpit. Boat comes with 7 Brownell jack stands and canvas winter cover.
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)
