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)

First look: J/45 and Linjett 39

Yachting World

  • April 6, 2021

Rupert Holmes casts his eye over the some of the latest new yachts for 2021 and picks out three interesting models, the J/45, Solaris 60 and Linjett 39

j39 sailboat dimensions

Manufacturers are continuing to design and build innovative new boats in 2021. This month, we’re looking at three new yachts for 2021. The J/45 is a novel departure for J-Boats , which is aimed squarely at cruising sailors, while the Linjett 39 is a modern performance cruiser from the Swedish marque.

The J/45 is a new performance cruiser intended as a long-distance yacht that’ll be fun to sail, as well as being enormously civilised when spending extended periods of time on board.

It’s the result of a three-year collaboration between the north American and French arms of the company. In addition, Isabelle Racoupeau brought her interior design expertise to the project.

The premise behind the J/45 recognises that more than half the 15,000 J/Boats built to date are used solely for cruising, and that many of those owners would like a larger yacht with a greater level of comfort.

j39 sailboat dimensions

The J/45 promises to be a larger yacht with a greater level of comfort

Guiding principles that informed design decisions include maximising interior volume and comfort, while maintaining an elegant profile.

In addition, the aim was for minimal wetted surface area and light displacement in order to promote good performance in light airs and thereby minimise the need to use the engine for propulsion while on passage.

This weight saving allows for a smaller, more easily handled rig, while a 42% ballast ratio allied to a choice of 2.1m, 2.3m or 2.6m draught bulbed keels promises an ability to ride out heavy weather .

j39 sailboat dimensions

The J/45 is intended to be civilised when spending extended periods of time on board

Much thought and analysis has also gone into the systems and equipment on the J/45, which are optimised for efficient sail handling and manoeuvring, along with comfortable living. As a result the standard specification is unusually high, including the carbon bowsprit, oversize winches and gennaker deck hardware, that manufacturers typically list as expensive extras.

The first boat is currently in build at J-Composites in France for a Mediterranean-based client and is scheduled for delivery early this summer.

Specifications:

Hull length: 13.85m 45ft 6in LWL: 12.56m 41ft 2in Beam: 4.25m 13ft 11in Draught: (std keel) 2.29m 7ft 6in Displacement: 9,900kg 21,800lb Price ex VAT: €429,980 Builder: www.jboats.com

The latest model from Sweden’s Rosättra yard, the Linjett 39, is intended as a fast cruiser with a sleek hull shape and powerful rig that is easy to sail shorthanded.

At the same time additional freeboard and a higher coachroof relative to earlier models create a greater feeling of light and space on board.

An unusual aspect among today’s new yachts is the more traditional raked stem. This keeps the bows a little further from danger when mooring or anchoring bows-to a rocky shore in the natural harbours of Sweden’s archipelagos.

To minimise weight without compromising stiffness, construction is of vacuum-infused vinylester, with a Divinycell foam sandwich. Structural frames made of unidirectional fibres reduce the dependency on the main bulkhead, which opens up options for the internal layout.

This has allowed a more open saloon to be created, as well as a larger heads forward, plus a further space for a shower and storage of foul weather gear aft.

Several orders have already been confirmed and the first boat is scheduled to be afloat this summer.

LOA: 12.15m / 39ft 10in LWL: 11.00m / 36ft 1in Beam: 3.95m / 13ft 0in Draught: 2.15m / 7ft 1in Displacement: 8,700kg / 19,200lb Price ex VAT: €296,000 Builder: www.linjett.se

J-39 Opinions

Just found a 1990 J-39 for sale in my area here in Puerto Rico. I would like to have the boat as a cruiser and race it once in a while. Most of my sailing will be between Puerto Rico and the BVI's. Any comments about this boat would be appreciated. It seems to be in great shape...  

j39 sailboat dimensions

That's a pretty big leap from a Newport 41 to a J-39. The J is a performance design, certainly quicker than a N41 but likely to be harder to handle, and are probably best with a largish crew. The J 39 was one of Jboat's last semi "IOR" designs. Not what I'd call a cruising boat per se. If I remember correctly the rig relies to some extent on checkstays and runners, which are problematic for short handed cruising. That said, they are attractive boats from a reputable builder and could represent good value.  

J39 Yes I know it is a big leap, having such a hard time finding the right Newport 41 has led me to other possibilities. This boat happens to be a two owner boat in superb conditions. The price is a bit more than what I was willing to pay for but I'll see if the owner is willing to go down a little bit. Also after looking at the available Newports and the asking prices it seems like I can get the J 39 for almost the same price due to the fact that it is here in the island. Between airfares to go see candidate Newports, preparations for a delivery from the east coast to the caribbean, insurance and captain delivery fees it all adds up to almost the same amount. After all, all I want to do is go from PR to the BVI's safely. The Newport is still my favorite but I guess if it makes sense I will at least give the J a try. We are going out for a test sail next weekend. I'll have a more informed opinion next week.  

j39 sailboat dimensions

I think that Faster is mistaking the J-39 for the J-41. The J-39 was J-boats early attempt at an IMS oriented design. They were pretty stripped out but pretty nice boats. They came in a variety of rig options and the only one that I knew of was a masthead rig without runners or checkstays. Faster may be right that the boat that you are looking at does have parrellel spreaders and checkstays, which is not the best set up for cruising. Also as Faster notes these were really designed as offshore cruising boats. J-boats had quite a few designs that would make great offshore performance cruisers with a little bit of work, in my mind better than a Newport 41 all around, but this design was not one of them. Respectfully, Jeff  

As usual, Jeff is correct, and I stand humbly corrected. The J39 is a masthead IMS design. I did a little more research and as far as I can tell it has checkstays, but they are not crucial to the integrity of the rig. One other drawback to the idea of cruising this boat, though is the "pit" style cockpit - no real seats, no coaming or backrests so this would not be a comfortable or dry cruising cockpit. Probably sails quite nicely, though.  

Just what my wife said...#^^%^%$&#$%@ Faster, Yes, this boat is sort of a mix of cruising and racing, actually more racing than cruising. My wifes concern is the same, there is no confortable sitting area in the cockpit......and it looks like it will get wet...... Anyway, where did you find the info?...there is not much info in the J-boats site about this particular vessel. I think this 1990 boat will cost me the same amount that a 1980 Newport 41....what do you guys think? Should I just go for it and forget about the hassle of purchasing a boat in the states and then get it delivered to the caribbean? One other advantage is that it was hauled, anti fouled, polished and appraised last week. So it is ready to go.....with 2003 sails and an extensive inventory of race sails, it has two air conditioning units, great stereo system, alcohol stove.............  

She sounds in good shape, if you can convince your better half, maybe she'll do!(the boat, I mean<g>) I do still think that with a crew of 2 she'll be a handful in a blow. I got my info from my son, who races on one a couple of times a year. Good Luck btw - found "your" boat on yachtworld - looks pretty nice!  

I'm going to second the thought about it not being a "cruiser"... While it will most likely be a lively sail, think about the "comfort level" . I'd get pretty tired standing 4-5 hours at a time while at the helm. (or sitting in a cramped position) Try out the berths. make sure you can both fit comfortably and are able to extricate yourselves without having to do a porn star move evey time. If you're planing on staying out for more that a couple of days, check for ample storage compartments for food and libations.  

In terms of interior space, I find it to be pretty well laid out, the berths are actually very confortable and spacious. Storage.....there seems to be enough space Sailing confort......Not to many options,, the cockpit is definitely not intended for cruising and there is not much to be done to it. The longest sail that I would probably do is 10 - 12 hours a couple of times a year from Puerto Rico to the BVI's. I guess it will all depend on how much of a compromise we want to get into...but I agree with the cockpit issue...  

For what it's worth to you I have recently looked in detail at a J-37 and a J-40. Also sailed J-80, 105, 110 and crewed a 44). Both the 37 & 40 have running backstays that look like they can be rigged in a fashion that is not a problem for single handers. I wonder if the backstays are really necessary in light to moderate air anyway. The bathtub cockpit doesn't have backrests but you can put some foam tubing on the lifelines and be very comfortable. How often do we sit down into a cockpit anyway. I am always sitting up on the coaming where I can see and feel the wind. The boats are well built by the pro's in the composite business, TPI. I have toured their impressive factory in Warren RI. The Johnstones design a lot of hidden quality and good thought into all their boats. Practical Sailor once said, "If sailing is what sailing is all about then a J-Boat is a good choice. (Note they were referring to a J-35, but it appears to hold true all through the line.) That said, be careful to have the hull and deck carefully moisture metered. If the deck hasn't been rebed in 16 years there may be wet spots. In J-Boats defense all cored boats have this compromise. Other known issues are rudder bearings, engine mounts and the engines themselves. The Volvo and Yanmar engines are strong enough and if properly lubricated don't wear out. J's rarely get enough engine running time to wear anything. What happens over 16 years is that the oil seals dry up and leak. From what I hear a rebuild of the seals costs nearly as much as a new engine. You can rarely go wrong buying a J-Boat. My 2cents.

Everything you say makes sense, but maybe I have not made my intentions exactly clear. I am not going on extended cruising. I will spend maximum of three weeks in the BVI's and then come back to Fajardo for coastal sailing and maybe a sunday regatta. On my list of possible candidates are the Morgan 382-3-4, Tartan 37, C&C 41, Newport 41 and I am willing to add other boats (please suggest any other similar boats as close as posible to PHRF of 100 with classic looks) with similar looks and quality but as you can see I am staying away from Beneteaus, Jeanneaus, Catalinas etc. I simply don't like them. I would like to keep whatever I buy for a long time and that was the reasoning for a solid hull and for the decision of staying away from the slower Tartan and Morgan even though I have to admit that I love the Morgan. The Tartan has the CB which I try to stay way from. The J-39 is something that just happens to be there as an alternative due to the fact that there are'nt many sailboats in the island and if it makes sense I will go for it. I know this boat has been barely used. Actually it was in storage for almost two years and the previuos owners have kept it in close to immaculate condition. If you want to see how bad it is downhere try to do a search for sailboats here in Puerto Rico or the Caribbean. You will find ex-charters which are usually Bene....Jeann...etc or you will find hurricane survivors with repairs. Lots and Lots of blisters since most boats stay in the water all the time.  

I appreciate your dilemma, but a boat relationship is inherently expensive and time-consuming and it's a shame to have to make do with what's around the corner. Bye the bye, the Tartan 37 is a delightful boat and was on my last short list, FWIW you will find they use cored hull construction. As to suggestions, here's an example of what else might be considered - note the cruising equipment list and the number of refits, I'd guess that in the last four years, this owner has spent more than the current asking price on this boat; http://yachtworld.com/core/listing/boatDetails.jsp?currency=USD&units=Feet&currencyid=100&boat_id=1385103&checked_boats=1385103&back=%2Fcore%2Flisting%2Fcache%2FsearchResults.jsp%3Fblc%3D13976%26toPrice%3D80000%26type%3D%2528Sail%2529%26uom%3D126%26currency%3DUSD%26units%3DFeet%26duom%3D126%26sm%3D3%26spc%3D12755%26wuom%3D126%26ywbtc%3D25584%26luom%3D126%26toLength%3D41%26currencyid%3D100%26currencyid%3D100%26fromLength%3D37%26fromPrice%3D50000%26ps%3D30%26ps%3D30%26slim%3Dquick%26spid%3D108%26prc%3D11724%26so%3D0%26n%3D1%253A1%253A32687%253A38574%253A73&searchtype= The only item missing from the listing is engine hours - you can sassume that'll be high. With the right price, it would well be worth putting an engine into this type of boat. good luck  

P.S. CAL 39 has NE PHRF rating of 114.  

j39 sailboat dimensions

i had spent the last year looking at boats, and had the Tartan 37 on my very short list (along w/ a couple mid 30 foot C&Cs), Hinterhoeller Niagra 35 and some Pearsons as well. most of these boats were in the mid to high 50k range btw). what i found out after digging around, and looking at quite a few boats in Annapolis, Oxford, Cambridge and beyond, was a whole fleet of neglected boats. the late 1970 and early 1980 boats by and large were extremely dark down below and were pretty tired all around. sadly, it seemed as most of the owners walked off their boats and handed the keys to a broker. absent of spending 10-15k to bring these boats back, you will probaly find well maintained Tartans in the mid to high 70s (asking price). i recently sold my J/24,and i can concur with SF..unless you are driving, you are rail meat and seating is less than comfortable if the deck is "race equipped". the upside is the boats are a blast to sail yet creature comforts are spartan to say the least. as the owner of a new to me Sabre, i am certainly one to extol their virtues. even my little 30 MKii will zip along at 6-7 knots quite nicely, and is manageable for spousal unit and me. happy hunting...  

Search is over........ I ended up buying this............. http://www.sailnet.com/photogallery/showgallery.php?si=titere&limit=&x=6&y=10 Beneteau 456

Review of Hunter 39

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.

The boat is equipped with 7-9 berths and 285.0 liter fresh water capacity.

The Hunter 39 is equipped with a fin keel. A boat with a fin keel is more manoeuvrable but has less directional stability than a similar boat with a full keel.

The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 1.98 - 2.08 meter (6.50 - 6.80 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Hunter 39 is 1.95, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.

Hunter 39 holds one CE certification:

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 7.9 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Hunter 39 is about 279 kg/cm, alternatively 1562 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 279 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1562 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

What is a Ballast Ratio?

What is Displacement Length Ratio?

What is SA/D (Sail Area Displacement ratio)?

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 47m 2 (505 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.
