alacrity yacht services

The Alacrity 19 was designed in 1960 by Peter Stevenson. It was an open plan, relatively beamy yacht and they were built by Hurley Marine for the Essex based Hurley agent Russell Marine Ltd. They performed well but the accommodation and headroom were limited, but at least one has crossed the Atlantic.

The Alacrity was built in great numbers and was marketed as a Hurley for one year - 1969. Hurley did not just mould the hulls for Russell Marine but completed the whole yacht ready to take to sea. Russell Marine built them alone after about 1972.

Peter Stevenson's wife, Norma, has recently been in touch with the Association (Sep 2014) and has sent us the following message

I am delighted to know about the Alacrity; my husband Peter Stevenson designed her, then sold the drawings to Hurley and so didn't receive any royalties, Even so, I am pleased that the boats are still sailing. Should you require any more information I'll be happy to send it to you. Before we were back in Burnham we were in the West Indies with our Colin Archer double-ender, Happy Days! I attach a picture of Peter Stevenson (he's the one in the foreground) sailing an Alacrity. (The picture is above, click on it to see a larger version)

The Alacrity 19 was stretched by 18" and became the Vivacity 20. The re-design was by DC Pollard. The model was changed several times during its production run. Russell Marine joined forces with Catalina Yachts of the USA and also produced the Alacrity 21, Alacrity 22/670 and Vivacity yachts. The Alacrity 22/670 was a very different yacht to the 19 that Hurley Marine built. The 22 evolved and was later known as the Jaguar 22 in the UK, Catalina 22 in USA and Lynx in France. It was also built in Spain. Russell Marine eventually renamed themselves as Jaguar Yachts.

Whilst building the Alacrity 19 Hurley Marine also built a large range of similar yachts. These included the Signet 20 (built for a Welsh company but also marketed as a Hurley for a while), Silhouette, Hurley 18, Felicity 20, Hurley 20, Hurley 22, Hurley 24.

• Custom Design This project uses a custom design created solely for the use of this website. We did not select a pre-designed template. At times, templates are fine to use for certain cases but we like to deliver an experience and a product that is completely original and that fits the client's brand exactly.
• Custom Theme This is combined with the custom design. Typically when using a CMS like WordPress or Shopify, you are required to use a pre-built theme. Many of these themes come packaged with features that are not needed for the particular project and can blot the codebase causing a website to load slowly. We built our own theme and add in the features that are needed for a smooth loading website and a better overall user experience.
• Powered by WordPress WordPress is still a great Content Management System. We create an easy to understand admin so that our clients have full control of their content without having to touch code or mess with design builders.
• SEO Optimized Being found in organic search is an important factor for this company. We implement the best SEO practices in order to maintain current rank for all relevant keywords. We then build upon and grow their organic rank long term.

Alacrity 19

Alacrity 19 is a 18 ′ 6 ″ / 5.6 m monohull sailboat designed by Peter Stepenson and built by Russell Marine Ltd. and Hurley Marine Ltd. starting in 1960.

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 ALACRITY 18 was originally designed for and built of molded plywood. When it was adapted to fiberglass it became more than a foot longer. There are several versions: the Mk1, MkII, and the Weekender.

“It was created as the conduit for a thrilling experience—watching whales around the boat, dolphins surfing bow waves or passing glaciers in icy waters,” says Enrique Tintore, design manager for the Dutch line of expedition yachts , ranging from 197 to 345 feet. “The idea is to maximize the connection with nature, to look down over the front of the bow and feel an unusual connection. That’s something you can’t do on any other yacht.”

The open bows of Ferretti Yachts’ Infynito 90 , and recently announced Infynito 80, are less concerned with off-grid travel, but more about social possibilities. More cruiser than explorer, the 90 has an “All Season Terrace” that connects directly with yacht’s outer passageways all the way back to the aft cockpit. The 90’s bow area is designed to be private, but still open, configured with lounges, a forward sunpad and Jacuzzi. Owners can even opt for a cocktail bar with stools. Like the Damen Xplorer, it has open sides and an open front, but the overhead offers protection with slats that can open if the owner and guests want direct sunlight. “We created it as an oasis to put the people living on board front and center,” says Ferretti’s Filippo Salvetti.

Both designers claim there are no structural downsides to these unusual bows, though Tintore admits that “green water” could wash over the front during rough-water crossings. “But guests can just step back into the enclosed observation lounge to enjoy the action with a cocktail.”
