Mach II is a 13 ′ 10 ″ / 4.2 m monohull sailboat built by Snark Sailboats (Meyers Boat Co.) between 1976 and 1982.

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. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

I have a 1976 Snark built for Sears. The boat is in great shape. I am missing the mast and some rigging instructions. The boom has a fork at the front with a single eye through bolt i presume is for either the downhaul hook on the mainsail or, a location to secure the front of the boom to the mast. It has an fairlead eye about two feet back which I beleiev is for a vang to the foot of the mast which has a ring with a tab through which an s hook would fit. I need some help on the mast length. The pocket luff of the main is 162" (13' 1/2"). I dont know how much mast is necessary below this point. Any assitance is appriciated.

I know it might sound crazy but check sears parts. They have the different snarks listed. Maybe they still have parts.  

They have some but not all. My issue at this time (I can buy 20' lengths of T6 aluminum at the proper diameter) I just need the specifics on the rigging.  

I googled "snark sailboat" and found a ton of resources. Pictures, manufacturers, dealers and parts sources. Since it's latteen rigged, you just need a pole that will fit into the mounting hole and is high enough to hold the boom/gaff rig. It can't be any simpler.  

I owner one in 1970. I remembe the mast being about 6 1/2 feet tall. Bob  

Snark Parts The first sailboat I purchased was a 1976 Snark Mach II. Got it from new from Sears like you say. When I turtled and lost the mast (long story and the first of many lessons learned about sailing) I bought a mast from a guy who was parting out his sunfish. Used that until the late 80's. My Mach II was a bit bigger than yours so maybe a mini-fish might be a more appropriate source. And definately try Sears. I had a 1971 Ted Williams (Sears) outboard that needed a magneto. Turns out it is a Tecumsah engine and parts are standard. Good Luck. DH  

This Snark was called a Fireflower and was not a lateen rig but a single mainsail (sleeved) with a forked nose boom. It appears that the boom is rigged for a vang ( a simple 1:1 with a bullseye fairlead on the boom, down to a tang on the mast foot, back to a cleat on the boom behind the fairlead.). The luff in the sail is 182" so my problem is I dont know how much "more" mast I need. I think the downhaul will be a simple single line using a fairlead mounted on one side of the mast, up through the tack and back down to a jam cleat on the other side of the mast. Its hard to find detail pictures of any mast rigged like this for comparison.

Does anyone know ifthe swivle bracket at the base of the mast pocket is for a vang or a retainer for the DB?  

Try this link: http://www.castlecraft.org/sailboats.htm Then go to this one and check out the pic on page 5: http://www.castlecraft.org/PDF/Snark Sailboat Brochure.pdf Looks like your boat is a Sunchaser II although there doesn't seem to be a difference in hulls between the I & II.

Join this group ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/snarksailboat/ ) and get lots of info -- including how the rig works. Mine had a short mast PLUS a modified "lateen" rig - sort of. The sail had a boom and a two part "mast" that telescoped inside a sleeve sewn into the luff of the sail. When you raised the halyard it caused the tescoping "mast" to extend until the sail was taught and vertical. Sounds weird but it was simple and worked pretty well.  

Twice Around

Do you need a vang on this boat? It might be a mast retainer so if you flip over the rig won't fall out.

my snark has a latin rig, and two ropes, one holds the mast down and acts as a down haul and come from the boom to a cleat rigth next to the hole in the woden board where the mast is set , the other one is the main sheet, it goes from the boom to your hand!  

Not a lateen rig My Snark has a sleeved mainsail. It does have the cleat on top of the board that makes up the mast step. I assume this was for either downhaul or to secure the mast.  

The fairlead I am seeing is almost over the top of the dagger board slot, probably to far aft for a vang of any type...correct?

Satisfaction guaranteed! Our nylon  sails are very well made durable nylon sails that will fit Super Snark, Sea Snark, Sears Whirlwind, Spring Creek, SailboatsToGo (that's us!),  Paddle ski,  Sea Eagle, and  SOAR .  Our  Snark Sailboat sail is 45 square feet, nylon.  It will fit your Sea Snark or Super Snark just like the original.   A great many Snark owners have bought these from us, we receive many messages from satisfied customers ( see Messages from Customers section below ) and we have never had a single one ask for a refund, but if you're not happy with it, you can be the first!  We also carry original equipment Snark brand nylon sails.  Usually arrives in less than a week.  Very low shipping cost.

Our white dacron and Sailmaker Neil Pryde International dacron sails are more durable and hold their shape better (stretches much less) than nylon in strong winds, which will give you better upwind performance.

Colors and Sizes and Types

Colors:  14 different sail color schemes!    Custom Graphics:   Add your logo to your sail.  $18 per square foot of logo $25 . Email us.  

Sizes :  The 45 square foot ("SF") sails fit Sea Snarks and Super Snarks and some older Sunflowers.  Also the Sears Whirlwind. All Sunflowers built after 1983 (and some older Sunflowers) take the 55 SF sail (scroll farther down this page for 55 SF sail offerings).   Some pre-1983 Sunflowers take the 45 and some take the 55, so that's where we have to take size identification to the next level.   Click Here

We have nylon sails below and we have dacron sails, farther down the page. Dacron is a premium-grade material that is stiffer and less stretchy, so the sail holds its intended shape better, even in strong winds and after years of service.   Within the Dacron category, we have a generic white sail, and we have name-brand Neil Pryde sails in various color schemes.  The Neil Pryde sails have premium-quality workmanship, such as heavier stitching and heavier reinforcement at stress points.

SUPER SNARK and SEA SNARK SAILS (45 square foot)  (also fit Sailboats To Go and Whirlwind)

Sunflower 3.3 sails (55 square foot)  (also fits sailboatstogo), do not assume all sunflowers take a 55 sf sail   explanation  , neil pryde international dacron sails (45 sq ft and 55 sq ft) .

Dacron (polyester) is a stiffer, less stretchy material than nylon.  A Dacron sail will hold its shape and not stretch out in strong winds.  It's also a heavier material and therefore stronger, as compared to nylon.   Neil Pryde is a widely-respected sail maker, known for quality workmanship.  You will be impressed with the extra heavy stitching on these sails, done with the greatest attention to detail.  Shipping cost will show up in your cart.  It's not much (around $10).   For an additional choice in a 45 SF colored Dacron sail see the Blue/White/Yellow OEM Snark Sail above.

WHITE DACRON SAILS (45 and 55 square foot)

This is a house brand sail (not Neil Pryde) but still very good quality.  As compared to nylon, dacron (polyester) is a stiffer, less stretchy material so the sail will hold its shape and not belly out in strong winds.  More Pictures and info click here .

66 SQUARE FOOT NYLON SAIL.

The 66 square foot sail is both longer and taller on the spars. spar extensions are needed for both the boom and top spar.  if you already have spars for our 55 square foot sail, you will only need one spar extension:  $20 each.  if you have oem sunflower spars, you'll have to devise an extension for the boom.   this link if for extending the boom on sailboatstogo spars:     add spar extension to cart  .   , batwing sail.

Messages from Customers

"Thanks so much for sending the sail out so promptly.  It arrived yesterday.  It's all set up in the backyard right now for my son to see for his birthday present!  It was a pleasure doing business with you."   --   Robyn M.

"Love doing business with your company.  I'm telling all my friends to buy sails from SailboatsToGo!" -- Joe L. 

"...went out yesterday with my daughter. We had a wonderful time and everyone commented on the beauty of the sail. Thanks for your prompt response.  I am very pleased with your sail and service and will recommend you." -- Mark Y.

"The new sail seems to be superior to the old Snark original in both material choice and construction."    Martin M.

"We received the sail for the Snark Sunflower on Wednesday.   Thank you for your prompt replies and shipment of the sail. We installed the sail and took it out last night.  It fit well, and worked well also. My son and I are very pleased with the sail and again thank you for the great response to my inquiries.  This has enabled my son to enjoy the sailboat a few days before he leaves home for 2 months.  I will happily recommend your business to anyone who needs sails and related items. Thank you very much!"  Tom and Seth B.   June 2011

"Hi, Jim - Just a note to let you know I just spent a very enjoyable weekend sailing our Super Snark with the new spar set we ordered earlier this month. Set up went very smoothly, thanks to the excellent set of instructions you supplied. The pictures were especially helpful. I found your spar set to be far superior to the original tubing and fittings that were on our Snark. That mast slide sure instills confidence compared to the flimsly fitting on the original. I hope to enjoy sailing on our pond here on Cape Cod as long as the weather holds up. Thanks again for your prompt service and excellent product." -  Chris

Interesting Facts About The Snark Sail Design

The Snark Sail is referred to as a "Lateen" style sail, which means the mast is short and the sail has another spar, called a gaff, which carries the peak of the sail up much higher than the top of the mast, with the gaff slightly angled so that the lower front corner of the sail is in front of the mast.   The Lateen style sail originated in ancient times and is still used all over the world on small boats, especially in India and the Arab world.  Those fishing and trading vessels often use rags and old grain sacks stitched together for sail cloth.  A Lateen sail can hold its own against a sloop rig of equal total sail area (sloop rigs have a jib and mainsail) in a race of otherwise equal boats and crews.  Don't believe what some say about jibs increasing the efficiency of the main.  Snark and SailboatsToGo and other users of the Lateen sail plan are continuing a long and proud tradition in sailing.
