Wight (Macwester) MKII 32

Wight (Macwester) MKII 32 is a 31 ′ 9 ″ / 9.7 m monohull sailboat designed by C. S. J. Roy and built by Macwester Marine Co. Ltd. starting in 1972.

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 orginal WIGHT Class Ketch. The MkII version is longer and has more freeboard. A later version was called the MALIN.

Search Syntax Explained:

• AND : Use AND to find documents containing both terms. E.g., seaforth AND wight shows results with both "seaforth" and "wight".
• OR : Use OR for documents with either term. E.g., seaforth OR wight fetches results with "seaforth", "wight", or both.
• NOT : Exclude a term with NOT . E.g., seaforth NOT wight finds results with "seaforth" but without "wight".

Quick Tips:

• By default, terms without operators search as if they're connected with OR . So, seaforth wight equals seaforth OR wight .
• Use parentheses to group terms: (seaforth OR wight) AND engine finds results with "engine" and either "seaforth" or "wight".
• Ensure AND , OR , and NOT are capitalized to work as operators.
• To search for exact phrases, enclose them in double quotes. E.g., "weather helm" will search for the phrase, not the individual words.

Broker Remarks

Owners Remarks: In 2011 we found the perfect boat for our young family. The cockpit provided the ideal centre for everyone to enjoy being outside. The high sides are very comfortable and enabled us to fit highchair seats. It is also large enough to entertain visiting families comfortably. Another great advantage is being able to stand up straight inside. Giving a very spacious feel. The storage units are very well thought out. We have easily fit everything for five weeks holiday periods, including fold-up bicycles, spades buckets and fishing gear. Having a front and rear cabin allows for quiet afternoon naps while parents enjoy sailing. We have also used the rear cabin as a large playpen where the kids had the freedom to get out their Lego and other toys and hang out comfortably on bumpy passages. We bought Eider from the first owners. They sailed her to the Netherlands in 1974 and spent many holidays in Sweden and Denmark. We enjoyed many holidays in the Netherlands on the Waddenzee, Lauwersmeer and IJsselmeer. We have also sailed to Germany and Denmark. Because she only has a 1-meter draft, we could easily access the most shallow waters. The bilge keel allows for wonderful beaching experiences. We sailed Eider to Devon in 2017; we fell in love with the Devon and Cornish sailing opportunities and decided to get a permanent mooring and leave Eider in the Uk. We have since then enjoyed wonderful holidays with our now teenage children. We love our Eider but also feel it’s a shame that we can spend so little time on her. Because we live in the Netherlands, we would love to see Eider go to someone who will have the time to enjoy and look after her. The sailing experience is unique because she is a very steady boat. We have never felt unsafe. We rarely have to put a reef in the sails. She handles rough water well. The cockpit tent allows for a pleasant sailing experience and makes the living area much larger when closed up. Often the children sat in the cabin playing games while the adults enjoyed the surroundings comfortably inside the cockpit tent. She sleeps 6, and we have comfortably done so many times. Eider is a lovely and unique boat for the whole family to enjoy.

Review of Macwester 32

Basic specs., 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 Macwester 32 is 1.82, 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 Macwester 32 is about 165 kg/cm, alternatively 928 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 165 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 928 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?

SA/D (Sail Area Displacement ratio) Indicates how fast the boat is in light wind: - Cruising Boats have ratios 10-15 - Cruiser-Racers have ratios 16-20 - Racers have ratios above 20 - High-Performance Racers have ratios above 24 Sail-area/displacement ratio (SA/D ratio): 12.06

Broker's Comments

There is lots to like about this Macwester 32. Great accommodation over two cabins with an additional single berth midships, lots of inventory including a dinghy and outboard; well maintained with lots and lots of paperwork to support the work that has gone into her. Now being offered for sale by the beneficiaries of the late owner. This is an opportunity to buy a sea-kindly vessel that offers the benefits of both a bilge keel, a long keel and wheel steering.

Much of the prep work has been done by the yard in readiness for going back in the water and a survey was completed in April 2022, with all advisories taken care of. Sails have not been inspected but are available to view (there were many folded up and stored in various lockers).

Not one to be missed!
