1988 Olson 911SE built by Ericson Yachts, MORC racer/cruiser, designed by Carl Schumacher.
Crazy Train has been a very successful PHRF Racer for many years, formally Rebel at Port Huron Yacht Club.
Well equipped with many racing upgrades.
I love this Boat, but am looking to get into a one design class in the near future. Will consider all offers.
Equipment: Navtec Hydraulic back stay adjuster (rebuilt last year), solid boom vang, Harken ball bearing Main and jib traveler controls, currently using a Harken unit one roller Furling as a racing head foil (but have all of the parts to convert to full roller furling). Nexus Instruments (speed/depth/compass/wind), and a Plastimo Compass on the bulkhead, Garmen chart plotter and Autopilot. Comes with like new hot water heater, beautiful teak table that folds to the bulkhead, door for the head (not sure if it was ever sailed with these on board), also a gimbaled Origo alcohol stove with oven, and full set of cushions that are stored off the boat (only used once a year for the Mac Race) both in great condition. A 6 Pad steel Cradle with adjustable tops. Good set of Racing sails including five spinnakers (.5, .6, .75, .75A sail, 1.5) and plenty of practice/delivery sails, too many to list. Universal Diesel 14 horse power.
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)
Molds for this yacht were acquired from Pacific Boat Works.
Boats built by Ericson where built using a heavier layup schedule (with less or no core), which accounts for the greater displacement shown here.
