Seller's Description
Rare Frers 42 masthead sloop with aluminum hull and 11 headsails. Built for a racing syndicate in Buenos Aires in 1977, this sailboat has been sailed by the current owner in Boston harbor and the islands of Massachusetts plus the Gulf of Maine to Bar Harbor. Last in the water in 2012 the boat needs interior finishing and the Perkins 4-108 diesel requires reconditioning.This sailboat is extremely seaworthy and provides lightning protection when inside the aluminum hull. Built to IOR rules this is a great ocean sailboat, very stable and will heave-to in heavy weather. The 65 mast is supported by massive chain plates and heavy rod rigging. Exhaustive list of sailing gear and 11 headsails plus mainsail allows sailing in all weather.The sailboat has wheel steering and a heavy skeg hung rudder, an auxiliary steering tiller is also provided. The 9,000 pound lead keel has a draft of 6 feet 6 inches. The folding bronze propeller reduces drag and also enhances tacking ability.

Calculations
- Hull Speed
- 9.0 kn
Classic: 7.84 kn
Hull Speed
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.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio. Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
9.01 knots
Classic formula: 7.84 knots
- Sail Area/Displacement
- 18.1
16-20: good performance
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.
Formula
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.
18.13
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
- Ballast/Displacement
- ?
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.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
?
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
- Displacement/Length
- 222.2
200-275: moderate
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.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
222.19
<100: ultralight

- Comfort Ratio

20-30: coastal cruiser
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.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
27.64

- Capsize Screening
- 1.9
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages
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.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds

<2: better suited for ocean passages
