Tur 80 eller Turkryssaren som den också kallades presenterades ca 1970 och hon tillverkades av Mats Seldéns Båtbyggeri i Buvenäs. Tillverkningen upphörde runt 1980 / 1981. Totalt tillverkades cirka 300 exemplar. De flesta exemplaren är tillverkade fram till mitten av 1970-talet. Något eller några ex. tillverkades i trä och kalldes då Buvenäskryssare. Konstruktören var den samme som för Vegan d.v.s. Per Brohäll. Målet med Tur 80 var att erbjuda en serietillverkad plastbåt som man kunde inreda själv med en monteringssats om man så ville eller köpa en färdiginredd båt. Ett flertal Tur 80 har under åren blivit ombyggda med utanpåliggande roder. Rorkulten har då hamnat i akterkant på sittbrunnen med bättre plats för besättningen.

Review of Tur 80
Basic specs..
The boat is typically equipped with an engine.
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 Tur 80 is 1.95, 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 6.1 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 Tur 80 is about 106 kg/cm, alternatively 597 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 106 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 597 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

- Sailboat Guide
Tur 84 is a 27 ′ 4 ″ / 8.4 m monohull sailboat designed by Per Brohäll and built by Sydkystens Bådebyggeri between 1975 and 1979.
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 BOOK “BUYING A SAILBOAT FROM A TO Z AND SAILING TO THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA”
In addition, I offer my existing guide to buying a sailboat. The book is an inherent part of the course; I suggest that they complement each other.
When you read the book your dream gradually turns into a step-by-step plan – you get a precise understanding and a plan to make this dream come true.

Bonus: My help while buying a sailboat
Once you’ve read the book and completed the course, your next step is purchasing a sailboat. I am offering an exclusive gift to all my readers now: I will help you with purchasing online for free.
You can send me the sailboat options you’ve found for you and I will give you some tips and tell you which offer is good and worth buying and which one is not. I will also help you to find an inexpensive place for moorage and if you have any questions along the way — you can always text me and I will answer asap.
In fact, you get the purchase support for free!
SPECIAL OFFER: THE PACKAGE
Enter your email to purchase the package. After payment you will receive access by email.
A STEP-BY-STEP PLAN
By following this plan step by step, you can make your dream of your own sailboat come true. This is real!
Step 1. Buy the package
Buy the package: the course “A small sailboat captain” and my book with all the bonuses included.
Watch the course “A small sailboat captain” to find out how to handle a sailboat, what to check while purchasing and how to service the sailboat.
It’s also worth getting some practice in a class or with an experienced captain.
Read the book; it helps you to understand what kind of sailboat you need. You will find out your aims and make a plan to make this dream real.
Step 4. Buy a sailboat
Buy your own sailboat and I will help you online: you can text me your options with photos and a description and I will help you to understand which offer is good and which isn’t.
Step 5. Prepare the sailboat and get your own experience
You can sail in the Baltics, test the sailboat and prepare it for longer passages. I will tell you the place to moor the sailboat for only 200 euro for the whole season.
ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE
I have tried to answer the questions you may have.
The course gives core knowledge about yachting (the programme is similar to RYA or IYT but it is closer to practice and real issues). It also includes the information needed to purchase based on my own experience, i.e. I prepare you for owning a sailboat, not for a charter.
The course consists of short videos and each theme is a separate video. The information is easier to take in due to this format, plus you can easily find a particular theme to re-watch and spend 5–15 minutes refreshing your memory.
The course consists of 287 videos. For each topic we have a separate video from 2 to 30 minutes. Total duration of the course is 27 hours. The course has been done for more than six months, and a really big job has been done!
The course is focused on being an owner of a small sailboat (7–12 metres); these are the sailboats I usually show on my social networks.
Most yachting schools teach you based on the idea that you will rent a sailboat in the future. Besides, handling a small sailboat differs from handling the big sailboats which are used for practice in such schools. For example, setting the sails is done a bit differently, moorage processes differ and so on.
This is the knowledge you will not receive in most schools!
In my opinion, after you finish this course you will be more ready to own and make passages on a small sailboat. It is not self-advertisement, it is my point of difference. I am making the course for a certain purpose and it is different from the purpose of the schools. This course is made for the members of our societies in social networks; my aim is to tell you about all the nuances you will need to know.
What if I want to get an IYT (or similar) certificate?
You can undertake the practice in any school after watching the course, you will only need to pass the practice there.
I also have a very good instructor with a lot of experience of off-shore passages on different sailboats (her last passage lasted for almost 2 months – it was an ocean cruise without stops and she went from the Canaries to Capetown).
Her prices are reasonable and I can forward you to her. Just contact me on social networks after you finish the theory.
What is the book “Buying a sailboat from A to Z and sailing to the Mediterranean Sea on it” about?
This book gives you a step-by-step plan for buying an inexpensive but good sailboat in Europe. I give all the information from A to Z. What is more, the book tells how to prepare your sailboat for a passage shortly and sail it from Sweden to the Mediterranean Sea.
In what format is the guide: is it a paper book or an e-book?
The book is electronic, it works on any device with browser, both online and offline (after the first download). Due to this solution you receive the book as soon as you purchased it and I can update it and add some more details (I'm doing it rather often).
To sum up: buying the book now you're getting all the future updates for free.
What if I already read the book?
Check your email, I sent a special offer for my readers. If you didn't receive it - please contact me on Facebook , on Instagram or by email. Instagram
How can I receive help while purchasing a sailboat?
Just contact me on social networks and tell me your situation, I’ll do my best to help you.
How can I purchase the package?
Can I buy the book only?
Yes, you can purchase the book on my site https://how-to-buy-sailboat.com/ but my recommendation is to purchase the whole package because the course and the book complement one another. Passing this course makes sense for you even if you are a professional sailor on a big bulk carrier because a bulk carrier and a sailboat are really very different and you will face completely new situations.
Even if you already took IYT or RYA courses you will find a lot of useful information in my course as well: my course contains a lot of information about choosing a sailboat, nuances while purchasing and maintenance.
What is more, in most schools they teach to handle some mainstream sailboats, but the smaller yachts which I usually show you on social networks have their own nuances. I talk about these nuances in this course as well.
Why should I purchase the package even if I don’t have financial capacity to buy a sailboat now?
You should go for your dream even if you do it slowly, even if you can't see how to reach it. And if you can't reach it right now you should aim towards your dream. In this particular case you do the first step. Usually it’s the most difficult one. Further on, life usually gives us some options and possibilities.
To sum up, you now have an option to do the first step. Will you do it?

Alex bought my book, prepared for a sailboat purchase, bought a sailboat with the help of the book, made a route and sailed from Sweden to Tunisia with my remote help in 2019.

More than 80 migrants feared dead in double boat disaster in Mediterranean
M ore than 80 migrants are feared to have died in the Mediterranean in twin tragedies as they tried to reach the shores of Italy and Greece.
Turkish officials said on Friday that 22 migrants, including at least five children, drowned after their boat capsized off Turkey’s largest island, Gokceada , which is also known as Imbros.
The migrants’ nationalities were not clear, but in recent years tens of thousands of Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans have crossed the Aegean in boats organised by smugglers.
“The Turkish coastguard found the bodies of 22 people,” the local governor’s office said in a statement.
There has been a rise in the number of migrants and refugees trying to cross the Aegean in recent weeks.
In the second incident, around 60 people who tried to cross by boat from Libya to Italy were reported to have died of hunger and thirst. The motor on their boat broke down and they drifted at sea for more than a week. The fatalities included women and at least one child, according to survivors.
Around 25 survivors from Mali, Senegal and Gambia were found on a deflating rubber dinghy in the middle of the Mediterranean. The dinghy was spotted by the Ocean Viking, a rescue ship belonging to the humanitarian organisation SOS Méditerranée . “These people saw many of their dear ones die,” one of the rescuers, identified only as Massimo, said in a video released by the NGO.
Two of the migrants were unconscious and had to evacuated by Italian military helicopter to Sicily.
The other 23 were dehydrated, traumatised and had burns from fuel on board the boat.
Since the start of the year, at least 226 migrants are estimated to have died on the dangerous central Mediterranean route between North Africa and Italy.
So far this year, more than 31,000 irregular migrants have reached the EU, according to the bloc’s border agency, Frontex. The top three nationalities were Malians, Syrians and Afghans.
That is similar to the number who arrived in the same period last year.
In Italy, the conservative government of prime minister Giorgia Meloni has vowed to crack down on the arrivals, so far without much success. Last year, 156,000 asylum seekers reached Italy, a 50 per cent increase on the year before.
