Precision 18, 1989 sailboat for sale $13,800
Description:
Sail La Vie is a one of a kind. She is a 1989 Precision 18 hull number 280. She has been outfitted to go comfortably cruising in a small trailer-able sailboat, plain and simple. She makes all of her own electricity with 300 watts of solar and an outboard equipped alternator. She keeps food cold or frozen with her 12v refrigerator/freezer. Her sail plan includes a 150 Genoa on a roller furler, 2 reef points on the main with single line reefing on both points, an adjustable backstay, and all sheets and halyards leading aft to the cockpit. She is equipped with an auto tiller for long days of cruising, a Rudder Craft kick up rudder with matching crutch for ease of beaching and trailering, and a full cockpit bimini for protection from the sun on those hot sunny days. Sail La Vie has been my cruising companion on extended trips of the Florida 120 in Pensacola bay, the Main Island Trail, and the Chesapeake bay. She is also great just to go for an evening sunset sail in her home waters on the Susquehanna River. My goal has been to make her as safe, comfortable, and easy to single hand sail and trailer as I could.

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)
