We are Sirius boat fans. SiriusLea, what a great lake boat she is! 1987 28ft. Sirius Sailboat (Vandestadt and McGruer Ltd. (CAN) 1965 – 1987 Owen Sound) for sale in Hamilton. The Cadillac of Sirius sailboats, SiriusLea was a custom build for her first owner living and sailing out of Wiarton area on Lake Huron. Personal friends with Fraser MgGruer, one of the boat builders, the original owner appointed this boat to exemplify his position as Commodore of the local sailing club. SiriusLea has all the features, and was designed from the start to showboat the very best of Vandestadt and McGruer, boat builders among Canada’s all-time best. If you have ever used the phrase “SHOWBOAT”, SiriusLea has actually been a “SHOWBOAT”. Our first boat was a Sirius 21 swing keel, and we loved it, but what an upgrade 28’ SiriusLea has been.

SiriusLea has been a passion and working project for us since her purchase in 2015. She is presently at Hamilton Harbour Marina West. SiriusLea has been a terrific experience for us and her list of benefits is very long indeed. I will do my best to mention all them below.

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)

48° North Tests the Stout, Twin-Keeled Bluewater Cruiser

The Sirius 40 Deck Saloon (DS) just made its North American Boat Show debut in Seattle in January, and I have to admit, it had not been on my radar. It certainly is now, and it left a big impression. Perhaps this is because this was no two-hour boat test. I got on the boat at Cornet Bay Marina just inside of Deception Pass, and spent two very enjoyable days cruising the boat, including a night on the hook in a San Juans gunkhole at Kimball Preserve.

The first 40 DS splashed in 2015. And the first on the West Coast of this continent now has a home in Vancouver, BC, after sailing here from Germany, where Sirius Yachts are built.

At its core, the Sirius 40 DS is a stout bluewater sailor, whose design priorities begin with a large, central deck saloon with 360° views and creature comforts galore. It has several ballast arrangement options, two of which prioritize keeping permanent draft to a minimum while retaining rock-solid stability. And one of these (the twin-keeled version we sailed) allows you to safely “dry-out” on tidal flats; not just as a novelty, but daily. It utilizes a Solent rig with a readily-deployed self-tacking jib and traditional-sheeting genoa. Considering its host of interior layout options and multiple rudder arrangements to pair with the ballast options, it’s one of the most customizable production boats I’ve come across.

This Sirius 40 is big and beautiful, and it is ready to take you to far away places. Yet, the ocean is not the only place this boat will be at home—it’s also uniquely perfect for year-round cruising on the Sound, the Inside Passage, or Alaska. Its saloon windows allow you to take in the beauty of your surroundings while being out of the weather if it is cold, wet, or both; whether you’re under sail, under power, or at anchor.

Innovations

As much as any boat I’ve stepped aboard in recent memory, the Sirius 40 DS is full of surprises. It exposed some of the expectations to which I default, based on certain conventions in boat design. Being different is noteworthy in itself, but since ingenuity and creativity are on constant display in the Sirius 40 DS, there was also a significant wow factor.

The first clever invention I noticed was the burly canting wheel, hinged on centerline. This gives you many of the advantages of dual helms—the ability to drive from either high or low side for visibility or trimming purposes and easy fore-aft movement around the cockpit—while keeping the steering mechanism strong and simple.

As I entered the extraordinary saloon and passed the raised dinette to port, I walked down a couple of stairs at the forward end, expecting to find only a V-berth (it’s there and it’s lovely, by the way). On my way, I discovered another spacious cabin tucked under the deck saloon on the port side, which had one of the largest double berths I’ve ever seen on a cruising boat. This secret berth provides the qualities of a mid-ship berth, where the boat’s movement is minimized and where you’re insulated from lapping water in the stern and anchor chain noise in the V-berth.

This mid-ship berth is not the only unexpected space afforded by the raised saloon sole. I pulled up a floorboard in front of the galley to discover a storage area under the floor that was nearly three feet deep. There are four of those massive compartments. For passage provisioning, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen more ample storage solutions inside the cabin.

And then, it was time for the real kicker… The aft-most bench in the saloon dinette hinges out of the way and reveals a passageway into a hidden shop and storage room. This area houses the bones of the boat’s systems—engine access, electrical, water, gen-set or laundry for some—and comes standard with a workbench. It’s a brilliant use of space, and one that doesn’t sacrifice any of the comfort or elegance of day-to-day living.

The deck saloon of the Sirius 40 DS was the perfect place to weather a heavy Rosario Strait Squall.

The Sirius 40 is just plain comfortable. If it didn’t sound so much like marketing lingo, I’d even call it luxurious. This was never more obvious than when we were hit by a surprise 30-knot squall in Rosario Strait. We had already struck sail as daylight was fading fast and we needed to head directly to our anchorage for the evening.

We watched as the wall of white moved across the water at us. “Rain or wind?” I wondered aloud. Well, it was both. It hit and I was truly grateful to be inside the saloon, steering from the interior helm station, awed by the cell’s power and by the boat’s resistance to it.

Comfort is key to the styling, but it’s all about the views. Views when you’re cooking in the central galley, views while you’re eating in the saloon, views out the hull portlights in any of the three private cabins. I’ve never seen so much of my exquisite natural surroundings while inside a boat. You’re never really “down below” on the Sirius 40 DS.

Sirus 40 DS Saloon

Quality Craftsmanship

Structurally, the Sirius 40 is a beast. When I loaded my sailing bag into the closet in the midship cabin, I discovered an approach to the chainplate that was new to me. A massive steel rod tied the deck fitting directly to an athwarships stringer. This was just an example, everything about its build is brawny.

The fit and finish is as fine as any boat I’ve spent time on. It is quiet…dead quiet. No creaking floorboards. No squeaky hinges. The saloon table is genuinely gorgeous. And when the companionway door was closed, that 30-knot squall raging outside was eerily quiet inside the deck saloon while the boat heeled 15-degrees under bare poles.

The most unique of the three ballast arrangements—a twin “bilge keel” set-up—is, as mentioned above, structurally strong and stable enough to support the boat and its contents on land twice a day in perpetuity. The night before I got on the boat, the group with whom I cruised had spent the night dried out on the east side of Whidbey Island. After being warned by some neighbors that they were going to be aground, they stood up on their keels and eventually stepped off the back of the boat and explored the soggy flat in mud boots.    

Sailing the Sirius 40 DS was an enjoyable experience—and more impressive the breezier it got.

Everything about sailing the boat was pleasurable and easy. The systems all worked in harmony with one another. The boat tracked beautifully. And when we eased sails to drive down from close-hauled to a beam reach in 20 knots, the boat accelerated and put a big smile on my face. It is easy to appreciate the weight of the boat and its pair of keels when sailing. The boat’s movement felt slow, moderate, deliberate.

Sailing upwind in breeze in the mid-teens, I did wonder whether a fin keel would have slightly improved the performance to weather. I’d be very eager to try the lifting-keel version. You can certainly find more impressive upwind sailing performance in light and moderate breezes, but you have to sacrifice a lot about what makes this boat special, and the sailing was still very fun. The boat has a substantial rig and had plenty of sailpower to make good progress toward our destination under sail, keeping our 25,000lbs plowing toward Blaine. While it’s hard to say whether it was the keel arrangement or the boat’s significant heft, the only time I really wished for more performance was getting back up to speed out of a tack. However, it goes without saying that there were other priorities in its design and build. Ultimately, it was a strong sailing performance from a highly capable boat.

Ready for Anything

Sailing the Sirius 40 DS perfectly summed up all of my other experiences on the boat: numerous systems offered innovative solutions to common problems, its motion was remarkably consistent and comfortable, the layout made me want to settle in and relax, quality was on display in every facet, and the boat felt stout and ready for anything.

If we could have kept going—north to Alaska or south to warm water—I certainly would have been happy to do so. The Sirius 40 DS should be on the short list for anyone searching for a strong, heavy bluewater home, from which to explore the world in extreme comfort.

Model Yacht Sails

Sirius Sails With Distributed Camber

Sirius Sails Model Yacht Sails incorporating sailmaking technology that produces true airfoil shapes by adapting full sized sailmaking design and broad seaming techniques to model yacht sails.

Note the distributed camber placement, powerful airfoil shapes, and low drag leech design.

Note: I have added the new North Sails NorLam PX75 and 1.0 oz Dyneema (previously known as Cuban Fiber) sail cloths.  The 1.0 North Sails Dyneema is shown below on the US1M.  The new PX75 is very similar to the old PX75 but is a touch lighter and only has the X-Plys; we also have a good supply of TriSpi 25, 40, and 50 as well as several iCarex colors.

A close up of a wire mesh with red lines

Sirius Sails is now manufacturing all AMYA Sailboat Class Sails with exception of the full sized J boat.  All of these model yacht sails are in production and include a design specific trim guide. Other classes and custom sail designs are available upon request.

A group of sailboats in the water.

Sirius Sails with Distributed Camber™ are the newest technology

In sailmaking for model yachts. They are 3D computer designed and built using proprietary broad seaming techniques that produce airfoil shapes identical to those used on full-sized yachts.

The trim and performance limitations of older model yacht sailmaking technology (sailboards and sail blocks), which produce various circular arc shapes, have been eliminated. The pictures show the powerful distributed camber placement and low drag leech shapes.

Sirius Sails with Distributed Camber™ create:

  • High lift to drag ratios in all wind speeds
  • Higher forward drive and lower heel vectors
  • Impressive acceleration
  • Tighter sheeting angles

than are possible with sailboard or sail block made sails. Sirius Sails unique design allows maximized performance in the upper and lower wind range of the sail. Restricted wind range performance has been eliminated. Also, since Sirius Sails' proprietary sail design software and seaming tools allow precise control of camber and its location, custom-tailored designs are used for each model yacht type.

Testimonials

"In my youth, I worked for Hood Sails and what you claim is true. Your sail design approach is far superior to block made sails. If we sailed our models longer distances, everyone would appreciate and want Sirius Sails."

"Just a note on the sails for my ODOM. They are really great... yesterday at our meet the sails really out performed all the other boats. I finally got them tuned just right and up wind and down and they were superb."

"The boat was ON FIRE! These sails are very very fast! Acceleration was terrific and pointing ability was outstanding! I had no problem going higher and much much faster then every boat in the fleet."

"Service First Class and some. Sails being the engine, WOW. Words escape me, perhaps, Rolls Royce could come to mind."

"I have been sailing RC boats since 1975. Your sails are the most dramatic performance enhancement I have seen since then."

"Got the sails and they look great! I held the main up by the corners and it was stunning!"

"The acceleration in the puffs left the fleet behind..... you could hear the jaws drop!"

"I put the sails on my boat and followed your trim guide - we now have one fast boat! Thanks for your help."

"They look and trim like the sails on my J24.....and are fast! I am amazed at what you have done!"

"All I can say about your sails is they are - EXCELLENT! Beautiful shape in both very light and heavy air and was able to out point the other four boats I sailed with. Your sails are the third set I have had on the boat and they are by far the best. I will be sending you some photos of the boat on the water. Great sails at a very good price........... Did I mention that they are EXCELLENT!"

"This was the first time I raced the boat with the CPM 505 Sails. The boat speed was excellent and I had no trouble pointing with others or higher. When footing a bit, the boat was very fast. We sailed 11 races. I was 2nd in the first race and then had a string of firsts the next 5 races."

"We have three of the six new suits of your sails on the water. Each of the guys are very pleased. I am ecstatic with mine. My new boat, in the water for the 3rd time is performing beyond anything I expected and far better than my other sails. My overall results for our last three weeks sailing have been 3rd, 2nd and today first, winning by five points over 12 races."

"I was a tail-end to mid-fleet finisher at best. Same boat, same skipper, but with your sails, I am in contention every race and even have won some races for the first time."

"Went sailing today and had a wonderful day on the lake-still getting the boat tuned up but I feel I have NO excuses with the boat or rig. Thank you for the wonderful sails."

"We have three of the six new suits of your sails on the water. Each of the guys are very pleased. I am ecstatic with mine. My new boat, in the water for the 3rd time is performing beyond anything I expected and far better than my other sails. My overall results for our last three weeks sailing have been 3rd, 2nd and today first, winning by five points over 12 races."
