Noob here. Looking at a Seaforth 24

Discussion in ' Sailboats ' started by TCieszki , Feb 14, 2014 .

Hello all. I am new here but not to sailing. I have owned a Hunter 28.5, Sanbel 19, and Prairie 32. I currently live aboard a Hunter 30 and also sail a Com-pac 16 (with beautiful Tan Bark sails) in and around Titusville, FL. I am interested in adding a Seaforth 24 to the "fleet". Anyone tell me more about this pocket cruiser blue water boat? Tnx, Terry  

Petros Senior Member

this one? there are others that would know more than me, but based on the hull lines I would say it would be a roomy pocket cruiser, but rather slow. Likely sea kindly as well, it looks heavy and very strong. It was described as a coastal cruiser, but I think by the looks of it it would make a decent open water boat if good preparations and certain precautions were taken.  

PAR Yacht Designer/Builder

Yep, you've surmised correctly, Petros, she's a well burdened little cruiser. She's easily twice as hefty as a other 17' LWL yachts at 4,200 lbs. and her D/L of 380 and SA/D in the low 13's suggests she'll do well in trade winds, and storms, but not much else. In her defense, she does carry a 38% ballast ratio, which is respectful for her general class. She'll track like a freight train, but backing down will prove a challenge, except to the prop walk side. She's built down quite a bit, so with heavy angles of heel, she'll lose most all of her effective lateral area. She should have a comfortable motion in a rough slosh and the forefoot is cut back enough, that tacking will occur with reasonable confidence. She's a bit small to be considered a blue water boat, though easily a cat. B, but she's better suited than many coastal cruisers. Your Folk Boat will be a faster and similar companion, but your Hunters and Sanbel will eat it up on every point.Speaking of a comparison, your Sanbel has a 17' 10" LWL and displaces about 1,400 lbs., half the D/L and nearly twice the SA/D, so . . .  

Tnx, guys. I appreciate the replies. (didn't think I could reply.... main screen said invalid). I was hoping I got the one-lung diesel in it but got the outboard. Cosmetic re-fit needed but a sound boat. At 22 feet (advertised as 24) I don't expect to be using the "passing lane" much but I am sure it will get to where it's going. Tnx agn. TTC  

Yes, Petros, that is the one. Sailrite also calls it a 22 in their sail plan data. It is possible Seaforth calls it a 24 because of the bow roller (anchor) and whatever they call the wooden thingy that holds the backstay out. Those two items could make it a 24. With the generous freeboard, hopefully I can keep the greenwaters off the decks! Tnx. TTC  

Well, I bought the Seaforth! I am now prepping it for off-shore use. The weight/length ratio is 381, so it certainly is heavy enough. Anyone have off-shore time on the Seaforth 24? TTC

Seaforth for sale! Well, as nice as the boat is, I was able to rebuy the Prairie I owned in '02. My efforts will now be aimed at reffiting the "tub". TTC  

Is there a online site for a noobie sailer to lean a bit?

Where is she now?: 76' Frers MAXI, Xargo IV (renamed , built of aluminum at Palmer Johnson

Where is she now peppermint patti, nelson/marek 1/4 tonner built by betts, where is she now norwegian steam, half-tonner from -80 designed by eivind amble, where is she now: pendragon iii one-tonner (ior=30.5) designed by laurie davidson.

where should the widest part of a sailboat be?

Is it a total loss or is there something worth saving

Seller notes

Traditional flush-deck double-ended cruising sloop. These "character boats" are known as very seaworthy and comfortable, though not fast in light breezes. There is a V-berth forward, a porta-potti and a single-burner alcohol stove. This boat is very easy to handle, with roller furling on the Genoa, full-batten mainsail, lazy jacks and Harken single-line reefing for the main. All lines lead to the cockpit. Sails are nearly new. Fiberglass is sound, except for a small soft spot in deck near mast. ...

Sailboat Guide Seaforth 24 Seaforth 24 is a 24 ′ 0 ″ / 7.3 m monohull sailboat designed by Stephen Seaton and built by Precision Boat Works starting in 1977. Rig and Sails Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations. 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 Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL 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. 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. 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. Ballast / Displacement * 100 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. D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³ D: Displacement of the boat in pounds. LWL: Waterline length in feet 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. Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 ) D: Displacement of the boat in pounds LOA: Length overall in feet Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet 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.
