1985 Ocean Voyager MARK II

Rockport, Texas

Make Ocean Voyager

Model MARK II

1985 Ocean Voyager MARK II    The Voyager 26 is a serious blue-water cruiser, designed & engineered to take your on short or long voyages in comfort and style. Those who appreciate tradition will immediately recognize the classic lines of the Voyager 26. A traditional double-ender, she offers respected sea keeping qualities, with a finer entry and rounder bilges for better light-air performance The Voyager 26 has proven to be a really good little pocket cruiser. The design features a full keel with moderately cutaway forefoot and of course she is a double-ender. So, she incorporates all those nice seakeeping qualities that Colin Archer and Bill Atkin double-enders had while having improved sailing performance. She's faster than most boats of the genre. There were three different builders for the Voyager 26 and happily all of them were committed to doing a good job building her and stuck pretty close to our original design. The boats had comfortable and roomy accommodations for four. At least let's say as roomy as you can expect in 26 feet. But, there was a efficient galley, a private head and berths you could actually sleep on. The cockpit was good sized although the foot well was intentionally kept on the small size so that a lot of water would not be held if she ever got pooped. The cutter rig is well balanced and offered a good variety of sail combinations  in different wind conditions. Though she sails equally well as sloop with main and genoa..

1994 Pacific Seacraft 37 Crealock 1994 PACIFIC SEACRAFT 37’ CREALOCKReady for Offshore Cruising The Pacific Seacraft 37 (aka Crealock 37) is designed for cruising. She is a beautiful sailing ship that has excellent performance on all points of sail, is superbly constructed and time tested. This Crealock 37 is a superb high performance cruising yacht which incorporates all the best qualities an experienced sailor looks for in "a proper yacht" - seaworthiness, premium quality, very good performance, comfort and the ability to be sailed short-handed. The Pacific Seacraft Crealock 37 is a truly solid blue water cruiser built to go anywhere in comfort, good sea keeping abilities, and a pleasure to sail."The Crealock 37 is an attempt to provide the weekender and the cruising sailor with a boat which will travel fast between ports under complete control, and which will yet remind him that the passage itself should be one of the pleasures of the cruise."  --W.I.B. Crealock, Designer She has been the benchmark for world cruisers for 20 plus years and rightfully so. This voyager shocks even the most experienced sailors in lighter air. While everyone expects a passagemaker to perform well in 30 knots of breeze, most are genuinely surprised to see this lively lady tack gracefully in 2-3 knots of wind. The Pacific Seacraft 37 was designed by Bill Crealock, who is one of the few naval architects who can draw from the personal experience of 8 years of blue water cruising. His Pacific Seacraft 37 (aka Crealock 37) is legendary and was designed strictly for offshore cruising. She was recently inducted into the Cruising Yacht Hall of Fame. She is a beautiful sailing ship that has excellent performance on all points of sail, is superbly constructed and time tested.Here are the designer's comments, "When setting out to design the Pacific Seacraft 37, I had the luxury of doing it for myself without obligation to builder or dealer. I did not have to pay homage to interiors festooned with bunks, or revered classic features, or long waterlines or short, or distorted ends." --W.I.B. Crealock, Designer Owners Comments:  Second owner and in Excellent Condition. Perfect couples cruising boat, very sea kindly, and extremely easy to handle in tight quarters.

Voyager 20 is a 20 ′ 6 ″ / 6.3 m monohull sailboat designed by Herb Stewart and built by International Marine starting in 2013.

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)

Hull based on the WEST WIGHT POTTER 19. (in turn, a later version was the HMS 18.) Ballast includes 55 lb. centerboard.

Pocket Cruisers Unite!

I’ve always been a sucker for pocket cruisers, so when Ken Lange, the owner of International Marine , offered the chance to sail the builders newest micro-adventurer, the Voyager 20, it didnt take much arm twisting. Ken and I spent an afternoon putting the boat through its paces in near-perfect conditions for the boat, 8 to 11-knot wind breeze on Sarasota Bay. Along with us were two perspective customers who were downsizing from an Endeavour 40. As often happens, the vagaries of life had conspired to interrupt their cruising dream, but they still had a zest for sailing and exploring, and the Voyager 20 seemed like the perfect platform for more modest adventures closer to home.

Boats like these, opening a door to more manageable, affordable escapes, are enjoying a bit of a resurgance today. Just as the fascination with loveable micro-homes is growing, cute micro-cruisers continue to attract new followers here. (Although an interest of micro-cruisers have waxed and waned in the U.S., it never really subsided in the U.K., where pint-sized sailboats have been, and remain ubiquitous in the boatyards, harbors, and marinas.) While new sailboat sales are still sluggish, builders like Lange are targeting a niche too small for high-volume production builders to bother with-the niche between performance-oriented daysailers and entry level cruisers.

Anytime you talk about pocket cruisers you have to clarify what you mean, for the term is loosely applied to a wide range of small boats, some with very little in common besides displacement. Size is certainly a factor, but size is relative. Ive seen 26-feet length overall (LOA) being a commonly cited as the upper limit for the pocket appellation, and that seems about right, although a few decades ago a 26-foot sailboat was called something else-a yacht.

While there are a few thoroughbreds among the breed, pocket cruisers generally fall to the lower end of the performance spectrum, the inevitable result of trying to cram the comforts of home into 20 feet of waterline. Comfort-at sea and at anchor-take precedence over tacking angles, so you generally don’t see blistering speeds around the buoys. In my view, there are at least four main types of pocket cruisers.

• Estuarine Elves -These are the maritime equivalent of the pop-top camper. They are easy to tow, suprisingly roomy, and generally forgiving sailboats. The poster childs are the popular West Wight Potters . The Victoria 18 , the Sanibel 18 , the ComPac Eclipse and any of the small catboats with any kind of cabin fall into this category. (International Marine also makes the West Wights and the Sanibel.) These are boats that can creep up the lakes, creeks, and rivers of North America and still manage bay chop. They have enough cockpit space for family daysailing, but also offer a place to duck out of the weather, sleep, eat and be cozy. New sailors and families are quite happy to putter along in them, but few offer wind-in-your-hair thrills with the wind forward of the beam.
• Trailer Sailers – These are small cruiser/racers like the Rhodes 22 , San Juan 21 , Catalina 22 , Tanzer 22 , that can be Friday-night raced around the cans with other vintage boats, but also cruised. Like the Estuarine Elves, they are easy to trailer fairly quick to rig and launch, but with longer waterlines, more sail area and more efficient hull shapes, they generally perform better. This is probably the largest field of boats that could fit the pocket cruiser name; there are too many boats to list.
• Auxiliary Pocket Cruisers – These boats can be trailered, but they require vehicles with big towing capacity and take much longer to rig. They usually have more ballast, built-in tanks, and can be equipped with inboard auxiliary engines-something you rarely find in the two smaller categories. Trailerability, in this case, means hauling the boat down to the Keys or Mexico for the winter, not down to the local ramp on a Sunday. These can be fixed-keel boats like the Contessa 26, the Pearson Ariel , and Cape Dory 25 (both Carl Alberg designs); or swing keels like the Paceship 26 (also available with fixed keel), Yankee Dolphin 24 , the Nimble 24, and the Lyle Hess-designed Balboa 26 . Although some boats in this category have circumnavigated, doing far offshore work in these boats requires a special breed of sailor-and Posiedons blessing.
• Bahama-Mamacitas – Multihulls like the Corsair F-24 , the Wharram Tiki 21 , and the semi-custom trimarans like PS contributing editor Skip Allens new custom Wildflower probably could be shoehorned into the above group, but that would surely incite the wrath of Allen and the rest the multihull crowd, so Ill give them their own group here.
• Microships – Generally these are fixed-keel boats with hefty ballast- displacement ratios that make them capable of cruising offshore. They are trailerable, but with displacement pushing 10,000 pounds, they require a powerful tow vehicle. Some, like the “Bill” W.I.B. Crealocks Dana 24 , have circumnavigated. Bruce Binghams Pacific Seacraft Flicka 20 , or Hess’s Falmouth Cutter 22 are other examples of small boats that pop up in far flung ports.

So where does the Voyager 20, a more sophisticated cousin of the Potter 19, belong? Its 17.5-foot waterline and light displacement (1,750 pounds) puts it in the Estuarine Elves category, although it has several of construction features that you see in the Microships: heavy-duty Lewmar hatch and portlights and an encapsulated lead keel. It also has a fair amount of storage.

The layout below (featured in last week’s blog post ) is nearly identical to the Potter 19, with a small sink a port-a-potty, and v-berth. The biggest improvement over the Potter is the keel.

Lange borrowed the foil-keel design of the Montgomery 17 , a fun little pocket cruiser designed by Hess. Lange then added a centerboard to give it better performance to windward (the bugaboo of some shallow fixed-keel pocket cruisers in the 15 to 18-foot category). We saw more lift with the centerboard down, although the boat managed fine to windward with the board up.

With four adults and a cockapoo on board for our sail, the Voyager 20 was surprisingly stable and well balanced. The conservative ballast-displacement ratio, and hard chine held her upright, and the high freeboard and coamings kept the cockpit dry. With a relatively flat bottom, the boat tended to pound through chop when working to windward, but that is a trade-off for a short-waterline vessel that emphasizes high initial stability. The boat tacked through 90-degrees true on a GPS recorded track (accounting for any leeway), so it will get you where you want to go.

Built in California, the Voyager 20 is sold direct to customers. The fully equipped boat I sailed (complete with trailer, AC and 12-volt DC systems, galley, canvas, etc.) was listed at $38,000, more than three times anyone can expect to pay for a used entry-level trailer sailor on the used boat market with similar amenities. But the price is not out of line with the market for new boats, and it is hard to find other new boats in the 20-foot range that are not strictly daysailors. About the closest comparison that comes to mind in the new boat market is the Compac Eclipse (which also tops $30,000 when similarly equipped), and the Norseboat 21.5 ($35,000-plus depending on options). Id love to hear about some other pocket cruisers we should check out, and where you think they fall in the above categories.

For those who are boat shopping for a pocket cruiser you’ll find reviews of many of the boats I mention under “ sailboat reviews ” on the Practical Sailor website (some reviews are public, but many are for subscribers only). For those looking for something just a little bit roomier, our ebook Entry-Level Sailboats Volume 1 and Entry-Level Sailboats Volume 2 cover 25 popular boats between 26 and 31 feet that are readily available on the used boat market.
