1983 31.92' Westerly Fulmar

Listed
Expired
$14,000 USD

Seller's Description

Price dropped 53% from $30k to $14k. LLOYDS CERTIFIED. If from England, it may be worth you flying out to check this boat. If you buy boat, I will pay for your flight. It is already in Florida near the Caribbean. Many new items last 3 to 5 years. Good reputation English boat. Equipped for short and long distance cruising as you can see from the pictures. Understand that it is on the hard for last 2 years. Charcoal brickets and kitty litter inside to stop mildew. It has been prepared for possible huricane season. Dodger, all sails & solar panels removed, wind gen. lowered and blades removed. All will have to be re-installed. Transmision redone, redone alternator installed.Bottom professionally sandblasted, problems filled with west epoxy, and 8 coats of Interlux Fiberglass Bottomkote Aqua Antifouling Paint. Several weeks will be needed to re install items include Dutchman system for main. Hull and deck need cleaning. Deck does not show well because of anti skid patches wear and tear. Strickly cosmetic. Rub rail has about 2 foot strip broken. Someone had offered to fix it for $100. I should have had it done. It is a fast family cruiser with the potential for club racing, with all the usual Westerly virtues of solid construction and seaworthiness. ‘Yachting Monthly’ described the Fulmar as having “…. perfect manners - a light touch on the tiller, good balance and straight running”. The Fulmar was the second design by Ed Dubois for Westerly. Intended as a replacement for the Laurent Giles 31-footers but was a substantially higher performance yacht, so much so that they were used for match racing and race training. Over 400 built. Despite the higher performance, the Westerly Fulmar was a very successful pure cruiser, and a surprising number are still in use as sailing school and charter boats, a testament to their combination of vice-free handling and robust construction. Many regard the Fulmar as the best boat Westerly ever built.

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.5 kn
Classic: 6.83 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

7.54 knots
Classic formula: 6.83 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.1
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.
16.14
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
42.5
>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

42.53
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
251.9
200-275: 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
251.94
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
22.7
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
22.65
<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 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
2.04
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Available with twin keels; Draft: 1.21m/4.0’.
A few also were delivered with a lifting keel (6).
