 The Med for less

A yacht for cruising the Mediterranean? It sounds expensive but you don’t have to spend a fortune to cruise in the sun. In August’s YM James Jermain assesses a selection of contenders costing less than £35,000 and suggests what key features you should be looking for. Here are some extra comments and dimensions. To read more and discover what James’s first choice was in each category see the August issue.

Traditional cruisers Rival 34 Price: £23,000 to £32,000 Over the years the Rival 34 has developed a reputation as the definitive small blue-water cruising yacht. This is mainly because she is almost indestructible with a safe and workmanlike, rather than spacious accommodation. If getting to the Med worries you more than quality of life once there, this is a good choice. The high, full bow makes her dry and sea kindly and the long fin keel and substantial skeg give her good manners under sail. She cannot be accused of being quick although the deep fin-keel version is significantly better to windward than the shallow alternative. On long passages she is untaxing. The steering is well balanced and she will look after herself for long periods. The helm is light and the compact sail plan easily managed. The accommodation is cosy due to the narrow beam and little better than the Rival 32 on which she is based. Yet she can sleep up to seven, including five in the saloon plus a quarterberth and a two-berth forecabin. The saloon and the after part of the accommodation, the quarter berth, chart table and galley, are separated from the saloon by the distinctive Rival ‘keyhole’ bulkhead. The amidships heads is on the small side but stowage is excellent and headroom under the narrow coachroof is adequate. All the fittings on the Rival are substantial and designed to take the rough and tumble of offshore cruising. Rivals seem to go on forever with little more than an occasional cosmetic face-lift. LOA 10.38m (34ft), LWL 7.57m (24ft 10in), beam 2.94m (9ft 8in) draught 1.42m (4ft 8in) or 1.78m (5ft 10in), displacement 4,940kg (10,900 lb), sail area 41.2m2 (443sq ft).

Hallberg-Rassy Ramus 35/NAB 35 Price: £25,000 to £40,000 This is the forerunner of the Hallberg-Rassy range, which was launched in 1967 and remained in production until 1978. In the UK Reg Freeman fitted out Rasmus hulls to a very high standard and substantially similar layout as the NAB 35, all of which had wheelhouse cockpits. She is a heavily built, long-keeled, long-distance cruiser with a spacious interior laid out in a surprisingly modern way. The saloon is to port with the large galley and chart table along the starboard side. The main sleeping cabin is aft of the cockpit and accessed from a hatch behind the helm. This is less of a problem in the dry climate of the Med and keeps the sleeping and living areas well separated. The heads is large and the forecabin a useful guest cabin. She was offered in various versions including ketch or sloop, and wheelhouse or windscreen, and the interiors, though mainly in rather dark mahogany, were also produced in teak. She has superb stowage. Under sail she makes heavy going of a long beat but off the wind she is powerful and very easily handled. For Med cruising the large diesel is a bonus but the long keel does make handling under power in small harbours a bit nerve-wracking. The cockpit is a good size and very deep, giving good protection offshore. In the ketch version the mizzen makes a practical support for a bimini. LOA 10.67m (35ft), LWL 8.80m (28ft 9in), beam 3.02m (10ft), draught 1.37m (4ft 5in), displacement 6,090kg (13,440 lb), ballast 2,500kg (5,500 lb), sail area 46.37m2 (499sq ft)

Super Sovereign 35 Price: £30,000 to £40,000 Not many of these Holman & Pye offshore cruisers were launched but they are worth seeking out, particularly those built by JW & A Upham. She is a solidly built, well-fitted-out cruiser intended from the start to be a long-distance vessel. The doghouse-style deckline gives a spacious, well-lit interior with generous headroom in the key areas. She is a comfortable boat in a seaway and the ketch rig gives reasonable performance. Below decks she is laid out for easy use at sea but has the space to be comfortable in harbour too. The saloon was laid out in various ways but all had good stowage. The galley was secure and well fitted and there are up to six berths, depending on layout. LOA 10.67m (35ft) LWL 7.92m (26ft), beam 3.05m (10ft), draught 1.52m (5ft), displacement 7,417kg (16,352 lb)

Comfortable living Price: £32,000 to £38,000 At the top end of our price range, the Sun Odyssey 34 has a more performance-oriented hull than its Oceanis rivals and is, in some ways, an idiosyncratic, though innovative design. The hull reflects designer Daniel Andrieu’s work for the Half Ton Cup but the rig is moderate and easily handled, though still with plenty of power for those who find a generous turn of speed livens up their cruising. Below decks, she is one of the smallest boats to offer two heads compartments complete with showers. As a result the chart table is small and the galley, though large enough overall, is tucked away behind the companionway. The saloon has curved seating, which is comfortable during the day but not practical for sleeping on. There are, however, two roomy double cabins, one forward and one aft. A more conventional owner’s version with a single heads was also offered and would be more practical for our purposes LOA 9.98m (32ft 7in), LWL 8.04m (26ft 4in), beam 3.50m (11ft 5in), draught 1.90m (6ft 2in), displacement 4,700kg (10,362 lb), ballast 1,300kg (2,860lb)

Dufour 35 Price: £22,000 to £35,000 Michel Dufour was never afraid to go out on a limb and this is about as far from the trunk in terms of appearance as you can get, particularly for the 1970s when she was a bestseller. Not strikingly beautiful, maybe, but she is hugely spacious with full headroom, even under the semi-flush decks. She is substantially built and heavy with generous ballast. The extensive use of internal mouldings makes her a little stark below decks, but the interior is full of interesting and effective detail. The cleverly thought out galley, chart table and quarterberth are partially separated from the rest of the accommodation by a full height bulkhead. The saloon is large and contains a single and convertible double dinette plus a pilot berth. The forecabin has an offset double. Stowage is adequate. This boat was designed for serious passage making as well as Mediterranean living. Performance is good despite her weight as she sets a plenty of sail. She is comfortable offshore and her high topsides make her dry in high seas. The vast majority of these boats stayed in France and of all the boats in this group, this is perhaps the one to look for ‘on site’, not because she can’t make the passage, but because there are more bargains. LOA 10.75m (35ft 3in), LWL 8.50m (27ft 10in), beam 3.48m (11ft 4in), draught 1.84m (6ft), displacement 6,300kg (13,860 lb), ballast 2,600kg (5,720 lb), sail area 72m2 (775sq ft)

Moody 33 Price: 25,000 to £33,000 Angus Primrose shocked the sailing world when he launched this ugly duckling of a boat in 1973. Observers said it would never sail but they were wrong. They said you could never fit that amount of space in a boat and make it work. They were wrong. Her after cabin layout (with access via the cockpit) made her very popular with families, as did the huge saloon with its large dinette facing a longitudinal galley. The chart table is small. With plenty of volume in the ends both the sleeping cabins are spacious, as is the heads between saloon and forecabin. The after cabin has two single bunks and is ideal for children with generous stowage of its own. Despite the innovative design, the décor was very 70s and the imitation teak laminate and plastic mouldings have dated and may need some refurbishment. The bolted bulkheads have also developed a tendency to move. Under sail the Moody 33 is no race winner and windward performance in a heavy sea is not good. But off the wind in a good breeze she bowls along with the best of cruisers. The cockpit is deep and well protected and the wheel is light and responsive provided she is not over canvassed. A MkII version from 1978 had a longer after cabin coachroof and a bigger saloon. An aft-cockpit version appeared briefly in 1979, which had an even more roomy interior and all three were replaced by the Moody 333 in 1980 which used the same hull but had a walk-through to the after cabin, a better chart table and L-shaped galley. All can be found for under £35,000. LOA 10.06m (33ft), LWL 8.69m (28ft 5in), beam 3.51m (11ft 5in), draught 1.35m (4ft 4in), displacement 4,765kg (10,505 lb), ballast 1,1734kg (3,815 lb), sail area 42m2 (452sq ft)

Something different

Voyager 35 Price: £33,000 to £40,000 Another take on the wheelhouse theme, this time with a full, fixed keel, is the Trident Voyager 35 by Angus Primrose/Bill Dixon. The long deck saloon covers not only the internal steering position and the galley but also the after end of the saloon, which is on the same level. She had a long production run beginning in the mid-1970s when she was regarded as ahead of her time. Early interiors had dated plastic finishes and a face-to-face dinette but later models from the 1990s were more or less custom-made to much higher standards. They tended to have a more conventional saloon arrangement with an L-shaped dinette and a settee. The cockpit is a good size and very well protected. She is a good offshore cruiser with go-anywhere handling and moderate performance. Many have sailed long distances. Most early boats were sold as mouldings for home or professional completion. Trident later did most of the fitting out themselves. LOA 10.70m (35ft), LWL 8.00m (26ft 3in), beam 3.20m (10ft 6in), draught 1.52m (5ft), displacement 5,600kg (12,320 lb), ballast 2,318kg (5,110 lb), sail area 41m2 (440sq ft).

Westerly 33 Price: £27,000 to £35,000 The predominantly ketch-rigged Westerly 33 from 1977 is a solid family cruiser and another with a completely separate after cabin which is ideal for children or couples who want to separate sleeping and living quarters. The ketch rig has limited advantages from the performance point of view but the sail plan is very easily handled and the mizzen is an excellent place from which to hang all sorts of cruising kit – from biminis to radar and wind generators. She came with bilge or fin keels, the latter being more suitable for the Mediterranean unless a canal transit is planned. The after cabin is quite small but has full-length bunks. The main accommodation had a good saloon which feels very open thanks to the two straight settees either side of a central table. The galley is well fitted, but the outboard-facing chart table is a bit awkward. The forecabin is broad with a large double. The heads is to one side amidships with two hanging lockers opposite. Stowage throughout the boat is excellent and the woodwork typical of Westerly’s chunky style. Under sail, the 33 is pedestrian but safe and easily handled. Sloop-rigged versions are a little quicker. In 1980 she evolved into the Discus with walk-through access to the after cabin and an aft cockpit option. LOA 10.15 (33ft 3in), LWL 8.69m (28ft 5in), beam 3.44m (11ft 3in), draught 1.67m or 1.34m (5ft 5in or 4ft 4in), displacement 6,516kg (14,336 lb), ballast 2,700kg (5,940 lb)

First 345 Price: £33,000 to £40,000 As an antidote to the worthy but dull performance of some boats here, there are some cruiser racers which also make good Med cruisers, and the First 345 is one of them. Despite her sporty heritage, she was in some ways a forward-looking boat in that her interior had been designed partly with the Mediterranean charter market in mind. For this reason she had a modern feel below decks with an open saloon, large chart table and effective galley. They were built with one or two after cabins and the heads was sized to fit. The forecabin was on the narrow side and stowage throughout could not match that of, say, the Westerly 33. Under sail, though, she is delightfully well mannered and light on the helm. Performance up wind is her strong point but she is also better than average with the wind free as well. In stronger winds she needs to be reefed quite early or she gets heavy on the helm. LOA: 10.50m (34ft 8in), LWL 8.90m (29ft 2in), beam 3.50m (11ft 6in), draught 1.45m or 1.90m (4ft 9in or 6ft 2in), displacement 5,500kg (12,100 lb), ballast 2,114kg (4,651 lb), sail area 64m2 (690sq ft)

Heavenly Twins Built from 1971 to the mid-1990s, this was the ultimate small ocean-crossing cat, which built up a huge reputation for seaworthiness and good accommodation, albeit at the expense of performance. Off the wind in a decent blow, however, these boats could give a good account of themselves. Designer Pat Paterson made some remarkable passages in one of the early, 26ft models. Over the years the boat grew by a foot and was improved in numerous ways. Later HTs still fetch big sums but older versions are well within our budget. The feature of the boat is the deep, well-protected central cockpit and the two large double after cabins, which in some versions were merged into one huge cabin. In early boats these were accessed through the cockpit but this was later modified to a walk-through. In the forward section is a large saloon, which can also sleep two. The heads is in one hull with the extensive navigation area and the galley is in the other. Headroom is good in the hulls. The rig is low aspect and easily managed. She was rigged as a sloop or a cutter and had long, shallow moulded keels. LOA 8.00m (26ft 2in), LWL 6.60m (21ft 6in), beam 4.20m (13ft 9in), draught 0.60m (2ft), displacement 4,072kg (8,960 lb)

Comanche 32 Price: £25,000 to £30,000 This is the larger sister to Macalpine-Downie’s popular Iroquois and a much more spacious and capable cruiser. By modern standards she has a sleek, low profile and a narrow beam. Most had stub keels but a few were built with centreboards. They were originally sold with single or twin outboards but many have been converted to twin diesels. The accommodation offered two small double cabins in each stern, a single in one bow and a heads in the other. The saloon was spacious and converted into a large double. The chart table was on the bridge deck. Headroom on the bridge deck was 1.78m (5ft 10in) and in the hulls 2.00m (6ft 6in). LOA 9.80m (32ft 2in), LWL 8.75m (28ft 9in), beam 4.21m (13ft 10in), draught 0.96m (3ft 2in).

Sloops are a type of monohull sailing boat whose rigging consists of a single mast - like cutters and catboats - and two sails : a mainsail and a single headsail (depending on its shape, this can be a jib, genoa or spinnaker). If there are 2 masts on a sailboat, then it's a ketch, a schooner or a yawl. Sloop rigging is the most common rig on the majority of modern yachts, representing 95% of current production. This rigging is the easiest to use (not so many sails and ropes) and is cheaper to maintain.

There are two types of sloop:

• Bermuda-rigged sloops (or marconi sloops): these are sloops with a sail on their mast and a headsail on their single forestay. This type of sloop is very efficient for upwind sailing;
• Gaff-rigged sloops: these are sloops with two sails on their mast, one of which is triangular 'the gaff topsail' and the other is quadrangular.

The uses of sloops

Depending on the height and size of the rigging, sloops can be adapted for all types of sailing such as a cruising sloop for leisure and exploration sailing or a racing sloop for regattas or ocean racing.

Sloops are always a safe bet for any sailing enthusiast . Band of Boats has a selection of used sloops among its ads.

History of the sloop

Sloop comes from the Dutch word sloep meaning rowboat in English. The French form is sloup which was gradually gave way to sloop. From their first appearance during the Middle Ages right up until the First World War, sloops of 5 to 8 metres were used as tender boats for all tall ships. Then, equipped with some extra canvas and considerably reinforced, they became swift and manoeuvrable fishing boats. Finally, little by little, thanks to their easy handling, sloops evolved into the ideal boats for pleasure boating or racing .

Sloops: popular sailing boats

Jeanneau's Sun Odyssey range is famous among sloops for its performance and high quality. The Océanis 411 from Bénéteau is perfect for any family expedition or ocean cruising. As for the Dufour 425 Grand Large, a guarantee of quality, it is well-balanced and doesn't heel much when close-hauled.

Sloops are very popular with sailing enthusiasts for their manoeuvrability and ease of navigation . Treat yourself to this sailboat among our ads for used sloops on Band of Boats and set sail for adventure.

The Nicholson 35 Specs & Key Performance Indicators

The Nicholson 35 sailboat, designed by British naval architect Ray Wall, was built by Camper & Nicholson at their shipyard in Gosport, England.

Published Specification for the Nicholson 35

Keel & Rudder Configuration: Fin keel with skeg-hung rudder Hull Material: Fiberglass Length Overall: 10.74m (35'3") Waterline Length: 8.2m (26'9") Beam: 3.2m (10'5") Draft: 1.68m (5'6") Rig Type: Masthead Sloop Displacement: 7,099 kg (15,650 lbs) Ballast: 3,329 kg (7,339 lbs) Water Tank Capacity: 275 litres (60 gallons) Fuel Tank Capacity: 160 litres (35 gallons) Hull Speed: 6.93 knots Designer: Ray Wall/Camper & Nicholson Builder: Camper & Nicholson Year First Built: 1971 Year Last Built: 1985 Number Built: 200

Options & Alternatives

Several later versions of the Nicholson 35 sailboat were produced, identified as Mk I to Mk VII. Here are the essential differences between the original and each of the later versions:

• Mk I to Mk III: These early versions featured a hydraulic drive system with the propeller mounted at the aft end of the keel;
• Mk IV to Mk VII: Later versions transitioned to a more conventional sternshaft and P-bracket for the propeller;
• Rigging: The last boats built had a taller rig, likely introduced for the American market;
• Interior Layout: There were minor changes in the internal layout, such as the addition of a quarter berth aft of the chart table in later models.

Sail Areas & Rig Dimensions

I: 12.2m (40'0") J: 4.1m (13'6") P: 10.4m (34'0") E: 3.7m (12'0")

Foresail area: 303 ft² / 28.2 m² Mainsail area: 234 ft² / 21.7 m² Total sail area: 537 ft² / 49.9 m²

Published Design Ratios The Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

The following analysis of the design ratios gives an indication of the boat's likely sailing characteristics, but see the 'Notes of Caution'   below :

Sail Area to Displacement Ratio (SA/D): 17.92 This indicates reasonably good performance. The boat is sufficiently powered to handle varying wind conditions effectively, making it capable of decent performance under sail.

Ballast to Displacement Ratio (B/D): 46.90% A B/D ratio of 46.90% means the Nicholson 35 is quite stiff and stable. This high ratio suggests the boat has ample ballast, allowing it to resist heeling under strong winds and providing better stability.

Displacement to Length Ratio (D/L): 365 With a D/L ratio of 365, the Nicholson 35 is classified as an Ultraheavy Displacement boat. This suggests that it requires more sail area to reach its hull speed but will be solid and steady, handling well in heavy weather but potentially slower in light winds.

Comfort Ratio: 36.39 A Comfort Ratio of 36.39 indicates a reasonably sedate motion, which is typically associated with moderate bluewater cruising boats. This suggests that the Nicholson 35 will have a relatively comfortable ride, with less pronounced pitch and roll motions that could upset crew and passengers in rougher seas.

Capsize Screening Formula (CSF): 1.67 A CSF of 1.67 is well below the threshold of 2.0, indicating that the Nicholson 35 is well suited for ocean passages. This low CSF value means the boat is less likely to capsize and is considered safe and capable for blue water sailing.

Overall, the Nicholson 35 appears to be a robust, stable, and reasonably comfortable vessel with good sailing performance. It is well-suited for bluewater cruising, providing confidence and safety for ocean passages while maintaining moderate performance characteristics.

Here's how to calculate the KPIs yourself -  without having to wrestle with the mathematics...

Design Ratios: Notes of Caution...

• The Sail Area/Displacement Ratio (SA/D): This ratio provides an estimate of the sail power relative to the boat's weight, which can indicate potential speed in various wind conditions.  But i t doesn't account for the efficiency of the sail plan, the rigging, or the skill of the crew. Real-world performance can vary significantly based on these factors.
• The Ballast/Displacement Ratio (B/D): This ratio gives an idea of the boat's stability and stiffness, which is crucial for handling and safety.  But  it doesn't consider the distribution of the ballast or the hull shape, both of which can greatly affect stability. A high B/D ratio alone doesn't guarantee a stable boat if the ballast is poorly distributed.
• The Displacement/Length Ratio (D/L): This ratio helps predict the boat's speed potential and its behaviour in different sea conditions.  But  it doesn't account for the hull design or the boat's overall weight distribution. Two boats with the same D/L ratio can perform very differently if their hull shapes are different.
• The Comfort Ratio (CR): This ratio estimates the boat's motion comfort in a seaway, which is important for long passages.  But  it doesn't consider the boat's interior layout, which can also affect comfort. Additionally, personal tolerance to motion varies, so a boat that is comfortable for one person might not be for another.
• The Capsize Screening Formula (CSF): This formula assesses the likelihood of a boat capsizing in heavy seas, which is critical for offshore safety.  But  it doesn't take into account the boat's handling characteristics or the skill of the crew. A boat with a low CSF can still capsize if poorly handled in severe conditions.

General Limitations

• Static Nature: These ratios are static measurements and don't account for dynamic factors like wave action, wind gusts, or crew actions.
• Simplification: They simplify complex interactions into single numbers, which can be misleading. Real-world performance is influenced by a multitude of factors that these ratios can't fully capture.
• Context: The context in which the boat is used (e.g., coastal cruising vs. offshore racing) can greatly affect how these ratios should be interpreted.

In summary, while these ratios provide valuable insights into the theoretical performance characteristics of a sailboat, they should be used as part of a broader assessment that includes practical experience, sea trials, and expert advice.

Review of Rasmus 35

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 interior is like many other boats made of mahogany. Mahogany belongs to the hardwood species, known for being water-repellent and resistant to decay. It has an attractive wood grain and holds wood polish and varnish well. The boat is equipped with 3 cabins, 6 berths, a galley and 240.0 liter fresh water capacity.

The boat equipped with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.

The Rasmus 35 is equipped with a long keel. A full keel provide a better directional stability than a similar boat with a fin keel; on the other hand, better directional stability means also that the boat is more difficult to handle in a harbour with less space.

The keel is made of iron. Many people prefer lead keel in favour of iron. The main argument is that lead is much heavier than iron and a lead keel can therefore be made smaller which again result in less wet surface, i.e. less drag. In fact iron is quite heavy, just 30% less heavy than lead, so the advantage of a lead keel is often overstated.

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.30 - 1.40 meter (4.27 - 4.57 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Rasmus 35 is typically equipped with an inboard Yanmar diesel engine

The fuel tank has a capacity of 240.0 liters (63 US gallons, 52 imperial gallons).

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 Rasmus 35 is 1.71, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 7.0 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 Rasmus 35 is about 171 kg/cm, alternatively 961 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 171 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 961 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Breaking news, cops nab suspect in brazen robbery of legendary basketball coach rick pitino’s office.

A Long Island City man has been arrested in connection with the robbery of legendary basketball coach Rick Pitino’s office at St. John’s University.

Emanuel Yakubov was nabbed by the 107th Precinct at 9 p.m. Friday, according to the NYPD.

Yakubov, 25, was charged with third-degree burglary, petit larceny, third-degree criminal trespassing, and fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property. 

The pilfered memorabilia included a signed basketball, a bullhorn and a ceremonial dagger.

It was not immediately clear when Yakubov would appear in court on the charges.

 “St. John’s University is grateful for the rapid response made by the NYPD and the recovery of stolen property,” St. John’s spokesperson Brian Browne said in response to the arrest.

“The safety and security of our campus community are essential, and our cooperative relationship with law enforcement helps ensure that.”

Two crooks were caught-on-camera during the Tuesday evening burglary at Carnesecca Arena, where Pitino’s office is located above the basketball court.

Footage from the heist shared with The Post showed two men walking through the arena’s hallways. One man can be seen talking on a phone as he holds a small bullhorn – an item sources said was stolen from Pitino’s office.

Other items taken from the coach’s office included a a mask and bottles of alcohol, sources said.

Pitino joked about the robbery online, noting he was furious about the thieves taking a bottle of fine wine that goes for $1,500 or more.

“Really upset!” he wrote. “Taking my memorabilia is one thing but the 1985 6L Petrus Pomerol has me livid!!!”

“I would never keep that on my desk!” he later clarified. “Saving that one in a wine cellar to open after the Johnnies go to the final four!”

The suspects fled the scene on a moped.
