Seller's Description

Execraft Nordica 16, 1970 16ft with Trailer

I’m selling my Nordica 16 Trailerable Sailboat.

I’ve owned her for quite a few years and made all necessary repairs and improvements to the boat over time. This is a rare sail boat with a unique design. Unfortunately, my kids are too little to enjoy this beautiful little boat and for the foreseeable future, I will not be doing any boating. The Nordica 16 is a stable, sea worthy boat that sails as if it is a much larger boat. It handles heavy weather very well and it’s roller reefing main allows it to be sailed in some of the heaviest winds. The 20” draft permits it to go most places and is ideal for snooping around the various coves and inlets. We are extremely pleased with the boat. Length of the boat is about 16ft

Notable repairs and improvements are replacing the balsa core in the cabin (professionally done / have receipts $1350) - new mast support in stainless steel vs cast aluminum and many more.

The boat comes with Trailer (new tires and LED lighting). It has three sails in total. Everything needed to go out sailing is included (no motor included, you only need a small engine). I have sailed her this year, the boat comes complete to go out sailing immediately.

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)
