Seller's Description

Looking for a boat to go south this fall? Look no further! Fresh water only sailboat, a capable racer as well as a very comfortable cruiser. We just returned from a trip up the St. Laurents to the 1000 islands area and the boat sipped diesel on no wind days and raced up the river with the wind. We got to 8.4 knots downwind in Lake Ontario.

Boat is rigged as a racer with all three foresails (one kevlar, brand new - never used $8,000 CAD value), two mains and a few spinnakers.

Both previous owners have raced the boat on Lake ontario , we were only interested in light cruising and using the boat as our cottage. Health reasons make us part with this fabulous boat.

Boat is in the water at the Crysler Park Marina (in Canada, across from Massena, NY roughly) on the St. Laurents River.

Plenty of storage, high freeboard and tall rig make it a comfortable and dry sailor, great performance in light air and sturdy in heavy winds. The reef goes in at 20 knots.

Boat has everything needed on board, bring your bedding and clothes and you are ready to go.

Price is $39,900 USD /$55,000 CAD

Equipment: Fridge / Freezer Cold / hot water pressure - hot either electric or motor heat New VHF with DSC as well as stereo with Bluetooth Older navigation equipment Yanmar 3HM35F - 34HP engine, running like a top, 6.5 knots at 2200 rpm, with roughly 1 gal / hour diesel consumption 53 gal. diesel tank

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.7 kn
Classic: 7.5 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

8.69 knots
Classic formula: 7.5 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
18.6
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.
18.6
<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

40.27
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
216.3
200-300: 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
216.27
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
23.0
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
23.03
<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
2.1
>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
2.09
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
