Luders L-16
BRIGADOON was built in 1946 and sailed in the Northeast Harbor Fleet as ROMP for many years. She has a hot molded hull with five plys of mahogany laminate which was restored by the Elk Spar and Boat Shop during the late 1990’s to early 2000’s. Her keel was removed, the hull was inverted and veneers were replaced/regluded and the bottom was fiberglassed to the waterline. The ballast bolts have been replaced. She has a standard Luders 16 wooden mast with North sails in excellent condition. Since arriving in Rhode Island her hull has been further restored and upgraded by East Passage Boatwrights in Bristol, RI and she is now in “excellent” condition. Her hull has been repainted inside and out and recent additions to her inventory include a modified Torqeedo Electric Outboard, a spinnaker launching hatch, modified cockpit seats for storage of the outboard, fenders, lines, etc., and a new boom tent. She is a beautiful boat and is ready to go fast!
2020 Updates - Torqeedo Travel 1103C overboard electric motor - New Mahogany cockpit bench seats with under seat storage - Reconfigured cockpit sole with new main sheet Harken Swivel Cam Base - New “below deck” storage shelves and cooler platform - New Mahogany deck hatch for easy spinnaker deployment - Replaced damaged plywood to base of the main bulkhead - New paint on all interior planking, under deck and deck beams - New hull paint (Epifanes Enamel) and vinyl lettering
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)
