Kiji is a Carl Alberg design Bristol 27, Hull # 100. Im selling to acquire a larger boat to accommodate my growing family of four. Realistically, for overnight outings, Kiji is a one or two person boat. The build quality and traditional design is outstanding. She is blue water capable. The highlight of the boat is the traditional hull form and construction; heavy glass build, proper ballast, eased forefoot full keel with keel hung ruder. She is an excellent performer. To learn more; there is plenty of information on the web Kiji was designed with an enclosed outboard lazarette. The outboard hull cutaway in the lazarette has been sealed A stern mounted outboard bracket was installed in 2014 to increase storage and allow the engine to tilt fully out of the water when sailing and when moored. An upgraded heaver bracket was installed in 2023 to properly accommodate the 2015 6 HP Tohatsu outboard engine, which has very low hours. The rudder was professionally replaced in 2014. The rudder was originally wood. This item has been remedied using modern materials and techniques. The mainsail has been maintained and is in good condition. The main has two reefs and the first reef has been belted reef clew to reef tack. She has three head sails: a 150% Genoa in good condition, a new multipurpose 135% AP Genoa which has a reef, and a 70% Spitfire storm jib to compliment the second reef in the main. Foresails are hank-on. She is designed to carry a masthead Spinnaker. However there is no spinnaker or pole with the boat but she has a whisker pole sized for the 150% genoa. KIJI also has a custom dodger with a roll-up forward window. In April of 2023 all topside bright work was redone. The Navy blue hull was polished, boot stripe repainted in white. Bottom paint is red and one season old. This boat is in great shape and ready for sea. She is old school classic plastic in every way, design, build and form, and very manageable in operation and cost of ownership.
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)
Introduced (1987) at a time when the boating industry was in a state of near collapse.
Also promoted as DIMENSION 27. It’s not certain that even a prototype was actually built.
