I'm trying to come up with a plan for a 10-meter aluminum bluewater sloop. Design touchstones are the Contessa 32 and Pacific Seacraft Crealock 34, with a pinch of Tahitiana thrown in. Here are the specs:
LOA: 33' . . . . . . Displ: 14,200 lbs
LWL: 27.6' . . . . Ballast: 6,250 lbs
Beam: 9.5' . . . . . Sail Area: 605 sq. ft.
BWL: 7.8'
Draft: 5.3'
Safety and a seakindly motion are prioritized above speed and interior volume. Here are some of my performance targets:
Capsize Ratio: 1.60 or less
STIX: 35 or better
Comfort factor: 37 or better
See the attached images for a rough concept I cranked out of Gregg Carlson's Hull Design program. Thoughs, critiques, and suggestions welcome.
