Full keel yachts like compass 28/29..

Thumbs Up

Hey there my name is Hakan, you doin good? Looking into sailing for the next stage of my life, currently 35. And decided to go for a slower, safer full keel cruiser which I can sail by my self. I like The Compass 28/29 from the late 70's and 80's and seen the H28 variations too. Wondering though, What are other full keel cruisers around the same era? No longer than 30 feet and around 20k give or take. Because even though Compass seem to have a good reputation. They're missing the cutaway from the man hole, excuse me if it's not called that but you know what I mean. So yeah. Which full keel yachts do you like from the 70's which are around 30 feet and around 20kCheers lads. - Harks.

I must be in the naive, early stages of sailing because, I think I am gonna sail that thing around the world...maybe just Asia to begin with.

Nicholson 32 is outside your sail requirements but is a better long keeler. Not many come up for sale, owners tend to hold on to them. Sell between 10 and 20 grand usually. Twice the interior room of a Compass 29. I'm not keen on the hard dodger on this one but it does have an Aries. www.boatsonline.com.au/boats-for-sale/used/sailing-boats/camper-nicholson-32-mk-x/247471

Hey there, My experience is that if you are going to extensively cruise a $20k yacht, then the purchase cost will only be a fraction of the ongoing costs. The cost to keep at 33' boat will be very similar to a 28' boat, but the additional amenity, cruise speed and internal space is massive. Make sure the rig, engine, keel, rudder are good and decks are not soft as theses can cost more than the entire boat to replace. A

If its plywood then that could be a big can of worms to be opening.

Honestly why are we getting a influx of people wanting to buy a cheap 70s small yacht and sail around the world? It's been done before, I couldn't think of anything worse than risking my life just to sail around the world in a small cheap boat. If it's really some dream you have had since childhood I would suggest you save you pennies and buy a good seaworthy 34ft + yacht and build up some experience before even thinking about circumnavigating the globe.

I don't think Harks, has specifically said he is going to cruise the world, but I agree with your point that for making big ocean passages 30-40' is the go. Again there are so many costs that have nothing to do with the size of your boat, that getting into that category makes lots of sense. A

For a newby like Harks, (and I would not consider myself an "oldy", yet), I suggest the following * get an smaller, cheaper boat now and live with it (not necessarily on it) for a couple of years, doing day-sails and weekenders. Look for the best condition boat you can get for your price range, keeping a few thousand in your pocket for the inevitable repairs and replacements. * get your sailing experience up by actually sailing and taking courses - invest in your skills rather than your gear * when you are ready and know what to look for, upgrade to a blue water cruiser

Not in the right price bracket but I had a compass 28 then got an Arends 33 considering you'll no doubt spend money doing it up to your liking you may as well save up and get something you can keep longer term and put your effort and money into getting that up to scratch rather than having to do it twice. If you could get a reasonable compass 28 for a good price closer to 10k +/- a few thousand depending on condition then I would consider it for a first boat to learn in for minimal cost I think it could easily do coastal passages safely. I love the Arends 33 but the Compass has a fond place in my heart as a solid simple boat that I always felt safe in and was easy to handle on my own. Personally I was never a fan of the Compass 29 especially with the wheel, tiller is much better for that size boat if you can get one.

I think Princess Anne had one. Compass 28 is a good boat, however choose one with at least 10hp and preferably 12hp, and rigging less than 10 years old.

They lack displacement which is required when the going gets tough and not an overly strong build either. Currawong Ramona would get you safely anywhere, proven foul weather boat. A Folkboat would be more suited to an ocean crossing . Have a look for a Swanson 32 or 36, cracking yacht and cheap.

Now I'm intrigued: whatever other shortcomings the C28 has, I've never heard them described as having a "not overly strong build", and as a long-term owner, I'm pretty impressed with the structure. I'd hate to circumnavigate in mine for various reasons, but not for lack of build strength. As for lack of displacement, they're among the heavier yachts of their size/type, with SA/D of around 14 and ballast ratio of 55%. Mine always felt stable out in Bass Strait, but of course another couple of tonnes of momentum would have been even better to punch through waves. If you meant that any 28 footer, not just a C28, is too small for a circumnavigation I'd agree 100%. Cheers, Graeme

Review of Compass 31

Basic specs..

The keel is made of lead. Compared with iron, lead has the advantage of being 44% heavier, which allows a smaller keel and hence less water resistance and higher speed.

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.40 - 1.50 meter (4.59 - 4.89 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Compass 31 is typically equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta engine at 36.0 hp (26 kW), which gives a max speed about 6.8 knots.

The transmission is a shaft drive. A shaft drive will in the long run require less maintenence than other types of drive e.g. a sail drive.

The fuel tank which is made of fibreglass has a capacity of 155 liters (40 US gallons, 34 imperial gallons).

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 Compass 31 is 1.77, 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 7.1 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 Compass 31 is about 176 kg/cm, alternatively 988 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 176 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 988 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

What is Displacement Length Ratio?

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 29m 2 (312 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

If you need to renew parts of your running rig and is not quite sure of the dimensions, you may find the estimates computed below useful.

This section shown boat owner's changes, improvements, etc. Here you might find inspiration for your boat.

Compass 28 is a 28 ′ 2 ″ / 8.6 m monohull sailboat designed by Gunter Heuchmer & Don Lees and built by Compass Yachts Ltd. between 1970 and 1981.

Drawing of Compass 28

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)

A development of the earlier NORTHERNER 28 (1966). The deck and coach roof was re-designed by John Duncanson. The COMPASS 28 and COMPASS 29 are among the most popular boats of this size in Australia.

  10. Full keel yachts like Compass 28/29.

    Correctly rigged this vessel would be no harder to handle than a 28 foot long keeler. That is a classic quality British boat. I think Princess Anne had one. Compass 28 is a good boat, however choose one with at least 10hp and preferably 12hp, and rigging less than 10 years old.

Compared with iron, lead has the advantage of being 44% heavier, which allows a smaller keel and hence less water resistance and higher speed. The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.40 - 1.50 meter (4.59 - 4.89 ft) dependent on the load.
