Equipment: Sublime is a Pearson 34 that offers ideal sailing performance, ease of handling and comfort. Pleasing lines, a large cockpit, keel-stepped mast, functional interior with teak & holly cabin sole, and ample storage. A good combination for anyone looking to move up to a mid-sized cruising sailboat that is stable and offers a turn of speed. The Pearson 34 can be easily be handled by one or two people and is simple to maintain. Accommodations provide for plenty of sleeping areas and space below decks. As a cruiser / racer, the boat performs well on all points of sail. Sublime has seen numerous upgrades over the years with a replacement engine in 2021 and a new Garmin touchscreen GPS at the helm. 2021: Mast unstepped, full rigging inspection, new forestay and all standing rigging professionally installed, halyards and furling lines re-routed. 2022: Removed original engine and replaced with restored Westerbeke/Universal 16hp, Cleaned and re-built exhaust system, Installed 2 AGM batteries and new 110VAC charger 2023: Removed shaft and coupling and installednew running gear, new cutlass bearing, re-align shaft and strut. Accommodations: V-berth with filler, storage shelves outboard and storage drawers. Aft is a hanging locker to port and the enclosed head to starboard. Next aft is a single convertible settee to port and a convertible settee to a double to starboard. There is a bulkhead mounted 2 leave folding teak dining table. Next aft is the galley to port and the navigation station to starboard with a quarter berth aft.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.2 kn
Classic: 7.12 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

8.16 knots
Classic formula: 7.12 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
17.5
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.
17.54
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
37.8
<40: less stiff, less 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

37.82
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
223.4
200-300: 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
223.38
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
23.2
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
23.23
<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 ocean passages

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
1.99
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Keel/CB version also available. Draft BD: 7.6’/BU: 3.83’
