Summary Analysis of the Design Ratios for the  Corvette 31

1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 17.0 suggests that the Corvette 31 will approach her maximum hull speed readily and satisfy the sailing performance expectations of most cruising sailors.

2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 46.8 means that the Corvette 31 will stand up well to her canvas in a blow, helping her to power through the waves.

3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 335, tells us the Corvette 31 is clearly a heavy displacement cruising boat. You can load her down with all your cruising gear and equipment and it will hardly affect her waterline. Not an ideal choice for coastal sailing, but she'll come into her own on an offshore passage in testing conditions

4. Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 27.9 suggests that crew comfort of a Corvette 31 in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a coastal cruiser with moderate stability, which is not encouraging news for anyone prone to seasickness. 

5. The Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) of 1.8 tells us that a Corvette 31 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0. 

Cruisers' Questions about this Sailboat...

Why is the Corvette 31 called a 'Corvette'?

The Corvette 31 is a Canadian sailboat, which was designed by C&C Design in 1965 and is named in honour of the Corvette warship class.

Are there any other Corvette sailboats?

Yes, there other Corvettes, but they are not related to the Corvette 31. They are:

• The Corvette boats, which are a series of motor yachts built by various manufacturers, such as Corvette Marine, Dyna Yachts, and Fairline Boats. They range from 32 to 63 feet in length and have different designs and features.
• The Corvette 32, which is a different sailboat model designed by John Bennett and built by Corvette Yachts in the UK from 1974 to 1988. It is a trawler-style motor sailer with a long keel, a ketch rig, and a pilothouse. It displaces 14,000 lb (6,350 kg) and carries 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) of ballast. It has a draft of 3.75 ft (1.14 m) and a sail area of 500 sq ft (46 m 2 ).

What is the price of a Corvette 31 sailboat?

The initial price in 1966 was $12,500. The current market value depends on the condition and equipment of the boat, but it can range from $10,000 to $25,000.

What are the good points of a Corvette 31 sailboat?

• It is a sturdy and seaworthy boat that can handle rough weather and long voyages.
• It has a spacious and comfortable interior that can sleep up to five people.
• It has a classic and elegant design that appeals to many sailors.
• It has a retractable centreboard that allows it to explore shallow waters and anchorages.
• It has a loyal and active owners association that provides support and information.

How can I find or contact other Corvette 31 owners?

You can find or contact other Corvette 31 owners through the Corvette Sailboat Association website ( http://www.corvettesailboatassociation.com/ ), which offers membership benefits, newsletters, forums, events, photos, stories, technical tips, classified ads, and more.

opinion on C&C Corvette I am looking at a c&c corvette can anyone tell me about these boats. Fast? Comfortable? Construction? Thanks  

opinion on C&C Corvette The C&C Corvettes are a neat old boat. I have always had a soft spot in my heart for these boats. They were pretty lightweight for their day and were simply but pretty well constructed. The keel/centerboard layout gave them a shoal draft yet pretty good windward performance for their day. With their large masthead spinnakers and their centerboards raised they were pretty quick on a run for that era as well. They had reasonably long water lines and were very good in a chop for a boat of that era. In the 1960''s my family had a Vanguard that we raced and our main competition was a Corvette 31. Under the CCA rule we rated pretty close to even and the Corvette was pretty tough to beat. I now understand why. Under PHRF, the Corvette owes the Vanguard almost a minute a mile and that is quite a speed difference. C&C, as designers, were really quite innovative structurally. Many of their boats of this era used a high density closed cell foam coring for decks and framing(rather than the balsa cores that were more common at the time). I don''t know if the Corvette had foam coring, but if it did foam cores tend to be a more durable solution than balsa. In that era C&C also tended to use a pretty sophisticated framing system that was glassed into place. Again I am not sure that the Corvette actually had this system. These were really fin keel boats with attached rudders and a centerboard. As a result Corvettes do not track all that well but you can use the centerboard to balance the helm nicely. There is no way that I would buy one with wheel steering. As a result of the poor tracking ability, the kind of quick adjustments and helm feel typical of a tiller was really essential to sailing these boats when things got dicey. Beyond that the cockpit was clearly designed for a tiller and does not work well with a wheel (You are too far aft to see the slot and there is no place for the jib and mainsail trimmers unless the wheel is almost located at the bridge deck. The interior layout was about as straight forward as they get (which is a good thing in my book.) It is a nicely detailed set up (although a lot of these boats had an awful looking wood grain Formica for bulkheads and countertops). I am not a big fan of formica covered structural bulkheads as they can rot out without showing any signs of the ongoing deterioration but they are quite typical of most mid-price range boats of that era. All of that said, compared to more modern designs (say a Tartan 30) the Corvette is pretty slow for a 31 footer and is a little cramped. The original hardware would seen underpowered compared to the higher powered two speed winches available today, and of course the original electrical system while quite simple and easy to work on would not meet modern standards. All of that said, if you are looking for a good all around boat, and speed was not a high priority, these are really a good choice for a boat from that era and if you can get one in the mid to low teens in good shape are an enormous amount of boat for the dollar.

VESSEL REVIEW | Sinichka – Electric commuter boats designed for Russia’s Moskva River

A series of three new electric monohull commuter ferries have already begun operational sailings on the Moskva River in the Russian capital Moscow.

Built by Russian shipyard Emperium, sister vessels Sinichka , Filka , and Presnya – all named after rivers in Moscow – are being operated by the Moscow Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure Development (Moscow Deptrans). They are the first units of a planned fleet of 20 vessels that will serve the capital city and other nearby communities. The new ferry system will be the water transport system to be operated on the Moskva River in 16 years.

Each vessel has a welded aluminium hull, an LOA of 21 metres, a beam of 6.2 metres, a draught of only 1.4 metres, a displacement of 40 tonnes, and capacity for 80 passengers plus two crewmembers. Seating is available for 42 passengers on each ferry, and the main cabins are also fitted with USB charging ports, wifi connectivity, tables, toilets, and space for bicycles and scooters. The cabin layout can be rearranged to allow the operator to adjust the distances between the seats and to install armrests of varying widths.

An open upper deck is also accessible to passengers and is the only area on each ferry where smoking is allowed.

The ferries are all of modular construction with each ferry’s wheelhouse, main cabin, and other structural elements being built as complete, separate components. This enables the ferries to be easily dismantled for transport to anywhere in Russia by rail and then quickly re-assembled within seven days.

The ferries are also ice-capable. Recently completed operational trials on the Moskva showed that the vessels can also easily navigate under mild winter conditions with broken surface ice, though year-round operations are planned for the entire fleet.

The ferries are each fitted with 500kWh lithium iron phosphate battery packs that supply power to two 134kW motors. This configuration can deliver a maximum speed of 11.8 knots, a cruising speed of just under 10 knots, and a range of 150 kilometres.

Emperium said the transfer of rotation of electric motors to the propeller is carried out by direct drive. As a propulsion installation, a pulling rotary propeller-steering column with double screws is used. The installation of double pulling screws, with similar power, allows an operator to increase the efficiency of the propulsion system to deliver a slightly higher speed or to reduce energy consumption. This arrangement also provides the ferries with enhanced manoeuvrability necessary for navigating in close quarters.

The batteries themselves have projected service lives of 10 to 12 years and are fitted with safety features such as built-in fire extinguishers and gas vents. Quick-disconnect features allow the batteries to be easily removed for replacement or maintenance.

Some of our readers have expressed disquiet at our publication of reviews and articles describing new vessels from Russia. We at Baird Maritime can understand and sympathise with those views. However, despite the behaviour of the country’s leaders, we believe that the maritime world needs to learn of the latest developments in vessel design and construction there.

1969 C&C Corvette

• Description

Seller's Description

This boat, once the prettiest boat on the SF bay, has been neglected and needs work. The Atomic 4 gas engine is not working. Starter Motor just replaced but carburetor needs replacing now. Wood finish is peeling off, and decks need repainting. Jib is 2 years old, as are all the sail & door covers. Selling as is. If you have the resources or know how to fix her up, she is an amazing sailboat. Looking to sell FAST! Bonus - Comes with a sought after slip in a wonderful marina.

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 CORVETTE was built at C&Cs Belleville Marine Yard/Morch Marine in Belleville, Ontario, Canada. Photo courtesy Adam Hunt.
