She is in the water in Eliot, Maine. The Maine winter is over and this boat is chomping at the bit for some voyaging. Avatrice is a lovely classic plastic ocean voyaging design. She traveled to and from the Bahamas last winter and is ready for another season of voyaging. Great boat for family cruising, or solo, if that is your thing. 55 years of cruising and she is just getting warmed up. Current price is reflective of the desire to see a good home for this amazing boat.
Equipment: -120 Westerbeke N6. -3 genoas -roller furling -storm jib -2 light wind sails -beautiful interior -Upper salon is 3 steps down to bright -and airy interior -continued 6’5” headroom to galley -large head with shower -spacious v berth -4 other single and double berth options. -3 burner propane stove with oven -hybrid lithium and lead acid battery system allows living off 300 watts of solar -73 lb mantus, 160 ft 3/8 chain, 200’ nylon -1200 watt windlass with manual option -Electric/hydrolic autohelm -Previously was used to teach ‘Women under sail’ for 30 years -Needs exterior cosmetics(or just move aboard), mainsail repair(still functional) and new mizzen sail but really sails like a dream as a sloop -Hybrid Lead acid and LiFePo battery system utilizing Better Battery Management system(youtube.com/watch?v=XAOhT2HwKWM&t=112s) and 300 watts solar. 40 amp solar charge controller. *‘Poppy’, the amazing Aries windvane is being removed We are in love with Avatrice, but now its time for others to adventure.
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)
