FAQs

What is the comfort ratio for the Pacific SeaCraft 40? ›

The Pacific Seacraft 34 is designed to deliver high performance without sacrificing comfort or seaworthiness. She is heavy enough to carry stores for an extended passage and tight enough to he fast. Owners report sailing speeds of 7 knots in 12 knots of wind.

Each vessel is hand crafted in Washington, North Carolina by master shipbuilders. Many of these vessels have circumnavigated the globe and delivered their crews safely back home. Bill Crealock bases his design on the premise that the offshore journey should be one of the pleasures of the cruise.

With capabilities of reaching 17 knots at cruising speed and more than 20 knots at top speed, passengers will find agility and remarkable seaworthiness with the new Leopard 40 Powercat.

You can use the following guidelines to interpret comfort ratio results: numbers below 20 indicate a lightweight racing boat; 20 to 30 indicates a coastal cruiser; 30 to 40 indicates a moderate bluewater cruising boat; 50 to 60 indicates a heavy bluewater boat; and over 60 indicates an extremely heavy bluewater boat.

In general, the Cabo Rico 38 is slightly less responsive and weatherly than lighter cruising designs such as the Pacific Seacraft 37 but considerably better than heavier Colin Archer-types such as the Ingrid 38.

Simply put, the Seawind 1260 is a great sailer. In 15 knots of wind on Biscayne Bay our test boat easily did 7 knots hard on the wind at a true wind angle of 45 degrees, comparable to a well-found monohull.

What is the top speed of a 23 SeaCraft? ›

With a full tank and 3 people it tops out at around 38-39 knots.

Of course, you can sail around the world in a much smaller boat, and safely too, depending on the design and setup of the vessel. But comfort among other things improves with size. Bigger is always better, but I think the 38-40ft mark is a good compromise.

Today, Tracker Marine Group owns the SeaCraft name. They had been building a limited production run of models based on the classic designs, but the company discontinued the line in 2010.

6.9 knot (7.9 mph), hull speed. 330, D/LWL, displacement to length of water line.

Recreational Boat Companies - Brunswick Corporation (India), Yamaha Motor Corporation (Japan), Groupe Beneteau (France), Malibu Boats (US) and Ferretti Group (Italy) are Leading Players.

The cut off for many offshore races is a ratio of 2 or under, indicating that boats with a ratio over 2 are more likely to capsize. While calculating your boats overall capsize ratio may seem like a complex task, it's an important indicator in determining whether or not your boat is suitable for offshore sailing.

Motion Comfort Ratio was developed by Boat Designer Ted Brewer. The formula predicts the speed of the upward and downward motion of the boat as it encounters waves and swells. The faster the motion the more uncomfortable the passengers. Thus, the formula predicts the overall comfort of a boat when it is underway.

"Typical" beam/length ratio for much older boats is near 50% which was prox same as catamarans of the day. More recently and for higher performance boats it ranges from 67% to 75%. For racing types it goes to 100%.
