Seller's Description

J/27, 1985 #28 for sale $19,000 A very fast boat, competitive for both lake and bay racing; an easy, fun and rewarding boat to sail generally. Dry sailed from slings since 2012, Toccata is only in the water when she is sailing. She has been very well maintained and upgraded and is in exceptional condition for her age. For more information about the boat see what J/Boats has to say about the J/27 at their J Boat J/27 site.

Extensive, high quality refit by Waterline Works and Hayes Rigging in 2012-2013:

All standing rigging replaced New halyard sheaves Keel faired to J/27 design specifications Damaged core replaced throughout the boat: P&S winch pads, transom, rudder, multiple locations in the hull, and V-berth half-bulkhead All deck fittings removed, over-drilled, core bonded, and returned to deck Cracks in deck sanded, fiber glassed, and new gelcoat applied to deck

Rigging work by Bahama Rigging while owning the boat:

Running rigging replaced with dyneema New Antal halyard clutches installed New vang and mast bail 6:1 outhaul inside the boom New track on mast for spinnaker pole ring with 2:1 adjusting line

B&G Instrument and transducer suite on NMEA network:

B&G Zeus2 7” chart-plotter / multi-function display with Racestart and Sailsteer features Two B&G Triton Displays Depth / Speed / Temperature transducer Wind speed/angle GPS/Fluxgate compass

Additional upgrades within last 12 months:

New Lewmar Foredeck hatch New Harken Carbo Headfoil New Dynema Backstay Adjuster New masthead backstay flicker New Headsail Halyard

Racing sails:

Main – UK Tape drive Technora Carbon with RBS top batten tensioner #1 Genoa UK X-Drive Carbon #2 Genoa UK X-Drive Carbon #3 Doyle composite Spinnaker: UK radial runner Bainbridge AIRX 600

Practice sails:

Main – UK Tape drive Kevlar/Mylar Heavy #1 – UK Kevlar/Mylar 3 spinnakers – runner, heavy air runner, old heavy reacher, cruising asymmetrical with sock 2 older Dacron mainsails 2 older composite Genoas

We will also include the original Triad dual-axle trailer (needs work) and a Tohatsu 6HP SailPro Outboard (last serviced 2019, very reliable).

This is an exceptional example of a fast, upgraded, well maintained J27 with an extensive sail and equipment inventory. One of the best examples out there and 100% ready to sail.

We sell her with heavy hearts, due to an overseas move. Priced for a quick sale.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.8 kn
Classic: 6.49 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

8.79 knots
Classic formula: 6.49 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
23.9
>20: high 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.
23.92
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
40.3
>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

40.26
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
130.9
100-200: light

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
130.9
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
13.7
<20: lightweight racing boat

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
13.67
<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
2.2
>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
2.18
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
