Helms Y-Flyer

• Description

Seller's Description

Y-Flyer #1974 free to good home. Trailer recently painted, 2 sets of sails, brand new cover. Sailboat has had some prep work done for painting, but needs to be finished. Floor also needs some work, but otherwise a solid boat and a blast to sail.

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 design first appeared in ‘The Rudder’ magazine in 1938 and originally intended for the home builder. The Y FLYER has been popular in America and Canada.

1974 C&C 35 Mark II ****SOLD September 2014

Tacoma, Washington

Posted Over 1 Month

75 C&C 35 mk II Chinook landing marina Rigging and sails, in good condition. Universal diesel in good condition with i about 900 hrs. Many details in description in links. Complete sail inventory of 14 extra sails is available. Only known issues or repairs needed are some wind instruments not working.This a SAILING sailboat, not a floating Winnebago that sails like a bar of soap. For those interested in racing: C&C 35 Mark I's had a PHRF rating of 130, the significantly larger stock Mark II's were said by the designers to rate 125 but sail much better. The Mark II has an 11 inch greater over length, more than 2 and a half FEET longer water line length, more freeboard, and 3,300 lbs greater displacement. Later built 35 Mark III's were down sized to Mark I dimensions , are much lighter built and hardware equipped, and while fast, are a major step backwards in quality in my opinion. Currently racing Mark II's seem to measure 126 to 128 seconds. The early stock 35 mark II's were criticized by some hard core racers looking for a slow rating advantage in a very fast boat. Some thought they were tender, and did not point high enough with huge racing headsails and the standard swept back keel. A number of them were modified with a slightly heavier full fin design with more lateral area that was a huge improvement in performance and handling . We can beat and reach with J-35 boats in the 70 seconds/mile class. We have not had this boat measured, but I expect that the improved keel would penalize the rating a few seconds, small price for the performance gain.This U S Coast Guard documented, 35 foot 6 inch classic cruiser/racer sailboat is one of C & C's most graceful, best built, and best performing designs. She is competitive with much newer and larger boats costing many times her price. Re-engined with low time (690 hr) Universal 3 cylinder 25 HP diesel, professionally rewired electrical system, and new ground fault isolator. Includes 15 Barient heavy duty winches and recently rebuilt main and roller furling cruising genoa. Completely equipped for cruising or club racing this boat comes with everything needed to sail away: electronics, anchors, autopilot, extra cordage, cabin heater, cockpit cushions, life jackets, even Puget Sound charts. This boat has been well maintained and equipped for every contingency. It competed successfully twice in the Victoria to Maui race and is well known and respected in the area. The original owner had a custom keel installed with more lateral area than the stock Mk II design, giving this boat even better stability and windward performance than the standard model's exceptional ability. The last surveys are excellent, with no blisters in her solid glass hull.DRACO RED, 1974 C & C 35 FT MRK II, HULL NO.
