This is a shoal draft, full keel, sloop rigged sailboat. She is 23ft LOA and 8ft beam. She is easy to rig and fun to sail. This pocket cruiser sleeps four in the cabin (if you are ok getting cozy) and also the 8ft cockpit can sleep two if the weather is nice out. Sails easily with four. Mast can be stepped by two people. Displacement is 3000lb, towing weight with trailer approx 4500lb.
Equipment: - Small pull-out sink that drains to the bilge and pull-out table / cutting board. - Flexible water bladder in the bow, plumbed to the sink. - VHF radio with antenna at the top of mast - running lights and anchor lights - 12V battery with small trickle solar charger to keep it topped up - 8hp long-shaft Tohatsu outboard engine, runs great - 3 gas tanks - main, furling jib and hank-on jib in good condition - sheets and halyards in fair condition, main sheet likely need to be replaced - safety gear, lifejackets - flushing porta-potty - Pettit Marine bottom paint (enough for new coat) - two-axle trailer with working lights and brakes
Recent upgrades: - 25lb Mantus anchor with swivel (oversized for this vessel, was kept at anchor for a season in the Hudson and didn’t budge) - LEWMAR Pre-Spliced Anchor Rode, 15’ of 5/16” Chain, 150’ of 9/16” Three-Strand Line - new lower shrouds from Hutchins - bottom was stripped and barrier coated in 2019
Known issues: - cabin sole has been discolored by previous water intrusion, but this has been fixed and I have not observed any further water intrusion - aluminum rudder is pitted and needs sealing. Structurally sound.
What this boat needs to get in the water this season: - coat of bottom paint (currently just barrier coat) - install new bottom shrouds
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)
