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)

The displacement numbers shown here are from a factory brochure. The fact that the fixed keel version weighs more than the centerboard or swing keel version, leads one to believe that there was a publishing error and the numbers should actually be reversed.

Hi all, How do these boats really sail? I read on these pages that a chap has one in Helsinki or russia someplace. Was the boat sailed over there? Anyone know much about the prelevence of osmossis in O'day 32 hulls? Comments appreciatted?  

Hello from a very happy 32 owner the boat that ended up in Helsinki was put on a freighter in the great lakes then after some work it was sailed to Moscow, Russia, I was in contact with the fellow but maybe the KGB got him cause the last time he posted he was in Moscow "prelevence of osmossis in O'day 32 hulls?" never heard such a thing my boat has been a work in progress for the last 8 years and its now at a point where I could do some long term cruising with it and be very comfortable, could I do this long cruise in blue water? I wouldn't.... but for in shore cruising it's a great boat.....it sails well but your not going to win any race's keep in touch if you want more info

I can't believe my eyes. Osmosis is ultraviolite degredation of the gelcoat. Depending on how one takes care of their boat the this process is either curbed or accelerated. If you keep your gelcoat clean and shiny and wax it regularly so the sun chews on the wax instead of the gelcoat, then your hull will last a long time. If you don't then it will degrade, regardless of the boat make. O'Day 32's sail fine. Not sure what generation you speak of, but they are not considered race boats, but cruisers. But they sail fine. The earlier 32's were a C. Raymond Hunt design. The later ones were built by Lear Ziegler (sp?) with a different designers. I have been on both.

Hi guys, Osmossis is what I call hull "blisters" caused by water penetration into the fibreglass layup. Anyways, thanks Konstantin for the helpfull pictures and advice. I saw a 32 cc for sale in virginia, the chap said he took it to Bermuda and then BVI's. Any of you guys thinking that this type of trip is exceptional for the 32 cc's designed stability, hull construction etc? Obvious;ly chainplates and rigging can be beefed up, what might be some other considerations? Why the reluctance to head offshore? Thanks for the input.  

To be truthful this boat doesn't has a really strong hull. We observed some hull deformations during our trip under a quite strong wind (about 30 knots). And it's not a real keel boat, the draught of this boat is only 1 m.  

Wow, the hull deformations sound a bit scary. I'll be looking at a different design for my cruising goals. Thanks a ton.

Boats are classified as inland, coastal or off shore. If you are sailing on inland waters, or coastal cruising, you don't need a boat built for the North Sea, so an O'Day 32 might be a great boat for you.  

Are we talking about the 32 or the later 322. I thought the later 322 where supposed to be a fast boat. I have the 222 and if I were to replace it would be with a 302 or 322. My 222 isn't the fastest boat out there but I would say its in the 90 percentile. I guess depends on boat and sail area. Can't wait to put on a 135% jib and really fly. I had this boat already on the rails and felt very comfortable with it.
