Saline is a fin keel, tall masthead rig perfect for racing and cruising and really is delightfully fast. Within club racing, she almost always wins hardware under PHRF. She’s a very affordable and comfortable sloop that has been well cared for. Built by Capital Yachts in California and designed by C and C, Saline has the aft cabin configuration model (two interiors were offered). She has a large, private double quarter berth cabin with solid teak door and standing room inside for changing., The main salon with port and starboard settee berths and a double forward berth sleep a total of 5-6. There is storage beneath the berths. There is a center-mounted teak table. Teak is abundant offering lush appointments throughout the interior to include a teak and holly sole. Sliding doors with cane inserts enclose cabinetry shelves. The head is completely private with easy to clean fiberglass surfaces and is located aft in the main salon to port. The galley stove lies to starboard and the galley sink and ice box are to port. Forward are the port and starboard settees. She has a nice-looking shear with flush deck, which brings the 6’ headroom well forward. The fin keel is made of lead and she has an inboard spade rudder attached to wheel steering. Her rig is a tall, single spreader, deck stepped Isomat spar. The boom is self-reefing with a rigid vang and mid-boom sheeting with the traverler atop the companionway. The side stays are carried inboard which is better for walking forward and for tighter headsail trimming to weather. There are 4 deck hatches and 2 opening ports all with screens which offer lots of cross ventilation. Four more fixed ports offer lots of daylight below. This boat is pretty complete, in good condition and has had many upgrades. Oil and Fuel filters and oil change done in 2023. Diesel water pump impeller replaced in 2023. Affordable for sure and large enough for cruising most anywhere. And a ball to sail!!! She has been recently sailed on Lake Superior out of Bayfield WI and on Lake Pepin out of Lake City MN with previous owners. So, she’s fresh water and ready to go. The owners of 4 years are moving into a larger sailboat.

Calculations

Hull Speed
6.7 kn
Classic: 6.21 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

6.71 knots
Classic formula: 6.21 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.7
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.
16.72
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
41.7
>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

41.66
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
270.0
200-275: 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
269.96
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
20.8
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
20.75
<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
2.0
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising

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
2.02
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Universal Atomic 4 Gas inboard optional.
