Summary Analysis of the Design Ratios for the Cambria 44

1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 16.4 suggests that the Cambria 44 will, in the right conditions, approach her maximum hull speed readily and satisfy the sailing performance expectations of most cruising sailors.

2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 40.2 means that the Cambria 44 will stand up well to her canvas in a blow, helping her to power through the waves.

3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 266, tells us the Cambria 44 is a moderate displacement cruiser, which means she'll carry all your cruising gear without it having a dramatic effect on her performance. Most of today's sailboats intended for offshore cruising fall into this displacement category.

4. Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 35.3 suggests that crew comfort of a Cambria 44 in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a moderate bluewater cruising boat - a predictable and acceptable motion for most seasoned sailors.

5. The Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) of 1.8 tells us that a Cambria 44 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.

The Cambria 44: A Classic Cruiser for Recreational Sailors

The Cambria 44 has a sleek and elegant profile, with a low-profile deckhouse, a long overhang at the bow and a reverse transom at the stern. The hull is made of solid fiberglass with vinylester resin and balsa core in the deck. The boat is well-built and sturdy, with quality fittings and hardware.

Accommodation

The Cambria 44 can sleep up to six people in three separate cabins. The owner's cabin is located aft, with a centerline queen bed, a vanity, a hanging locker and an ensuite head with shower. The guest cabin is located forward, with a V-berth, a hanging locker and access to the second head with shower. The third cabin is located amidships, with upper and lower berths and a hanging locker.

The main saloon is spacious and bright, with large windows and hatches. It has a U-shaped dinette to port, which can convert into a double bed, and a settee to starboard. The navigation station is located aft of the settee, with a large chart table and an instrument panel. The galley is located opposite the nav station, with a three-burner stove, an oven, a double sink, a refrigerator, a freezer and ample storage space.

The interior of the Cambria 44 is finished in teak woodwork and beige upholstery, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. The boat has plenty of ventilation and lighting, as well as ample headroom throughout.

Hull and Deck The Cambria 44 has a wide and uncluttered deck, with wide side decks, high lifelines and sturdy handrails. The center cockpit is protected by a dodger and a bimini, and has comfortable seating for the crew. The helm station has a single wheel steering system, an engine control panel, an autopilot, a compass and other instruments. The cockpit also has a large locker for storage.

The foredeck has an electric windlass, an anchor locker, two bow rollers and two anchors. The stern has a swim platform with a ladder, an outboard bracket and davits for a dinghy. The boat also has stainless steel bow and stern pulpits, stanchions and cleats.

Mast and Rigging The Cambria 44 has a masthead sloop (or optional cutter) rig with aluminum spars. The mast is keel-stepped and has two sets of spreaders. The boat has roller furling systems for the genoa and the staysail. The mainsail has slab reefing with lazy jacks. The sail inventory includes a fully battened mainsail, a 135% genoa, a staysail, an asymmetrical spinnaker and a storm jib.

The Cambria 44 has an array of winches for sail handling. There are two Lewmar 65 self-tailing primary winches in the cockpit for the genoa sheets. There are also two Lewmar 43 self-tailing secondary winches for the staysail sheets. On the cabin top, there are two Lewmar 43 self-tailing winches for the halyards and reefing lines. There are also two Lewmar 16 winches on the mast for the spinnaker halyard and pole lift.

Keel and Rudder The Cambria 44 has a centerboard keel that can be raised or lowered by a hydraulic system. The keel has a lead ballast and a fiberglass shell. The centerboard allows the boat to reduce its draft for shallow water sailing, while providing stability and performance when lowered. The keel also has a skeg that protects the propeller and the skeg-hung rudder.

Catherine44' Cambria 44 1985

This vessel is no longer on the market.

Cambria sailing yachts were designed by David Walters as the American-built counterpart to the Baltic and Swan sailing yachts that were highly popular in the 1980's. The design standard was for a fast, comfortable, performance-cruiser built to the same quality standard as the iconic American brands Hinckley, Alden, and Little Harbor, and to exceed Lloyds' and ABS standards (American Bureau of Shipping). During the design process, the Hazen stern speed prediction formula was used to confirm performance and stability objectives before building began. Molds were built for the hull and deck at construction facility in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. The hull and deck molded of hand-laid bi-directional and triaxial FRP fiberglass for superior strength, with an Airex core that ensures maximum sound and thermal insulation, and a strong bond to the inner and outer glass laminates.

The yachts were finished with varnished teak cockpit coaming, dorade boxes, and grab rails, and laid teak on the bridge deck, cockpit and side decks (new on CATHERINE in 2001 and in great condition); the superstructure has non-skid surface.

The first Cambria was launched in 1983 and debuted at the 1984 Annapolis International Sailboat Show where hull 1 - 4 were sold. In 1987 Cambria Yachts were featured in The World's Best Sailboats" (Volume 1) by boatbuilding author Ferenc Mate.

Timeless design, attention to detail and high-quality build, generous beam, shoal draft with centerboard (draft is 5'3" with the board up and 10'9" with the board down), skeg hung rudder, electric in mast furling, 44' on deck and 46' overall (from the bow to the tip of the reverse stern) with a 37' waterline, easy to sail from the aft deep steering cockpit with convenient engine and navigational equipment controls for good sailing performance, the diesel engine offers a cruising speed of 7 knots (max 8.5 knots), generator and air conditioning - these are some of the reasons that the Cambria's are still today a desirable performance cruising sailboats.

There are 2 companionways, one to the salon, and another to the aft stateroom. The interior is finished in varnished teak interior and sole is teak with holly inlay throughout. Two large staterooms - forward V-berth and double aft, plus 2 heads and stall shower. There is an overhead deck hatch and chain locker access on the forward bulkhead. Aft to port is the head / shower compartment. Step aft to the salon in the companionway leading to the aft cabin. The aft cabin has a double bunk to starboard and a navigation station and settee / single berth to port. Access to the deck is either from steps in the salon or from the aft cabin.

Galley is in the companionway from the salon to the aft cabin and has a Dickerson 4-burner stove and engine driven refrigerator and freezer, pressurized hot and cold water, Sea Frost 120V AC.

Maintained consistently in mint condition by her 3 owners, CATHERINE was launched in 1986 as hull #6 of the Cambria 44's.

The History of Cambria Sailing Yachts

Cambrias were designed and built by David Walters Yachts.  The design criterion was for a fast, comfortable, performance cruising design built to the same quality standards as  Hinckley , Alden and Little Harbo r yachts.  The Hazen stern speed prediction program was used to confirm performance and stability objectives before building began.  After setting up a building facility in Portsmouth, RI, the molds were built for the hull and deck.  The first Cambria was launched in late 1983 and introduced at the Annapolis Boat Show in 1984, where Hull #’s 2, 3 and 4 boats were sold.  Two years later, David Walters designed Cambrias were featured in Ferenc Maté’s The World’s Best Sailboats, and the 40 was introduced.

The construction of the Cambria is Airex cored hulls and Divinycell cored decks.  The advantage of the hull core is superior strength for the same weight and thermal and sound insulation benefits.  The entire boat was engineered to exceed Lloyds’ and ABS standards (American Bureau of Shipping).  20 Cambrias were built from the larger molds.  All the larger models, including the 44, 46, 48 and 50 have the same 37’ waterline length, two sleeping cabins and owner and guest heads. The boat was originally introduced as a 44, which was its on deck length, and had an overall length of 46’ from the bow to the tip of the reverse stern.   Eight Cambrias were built from the 40 molds. The 40 designs have a single entry, large V berth cabin forward, additional sleeping in a quarter berth and salon settees and single head with separate stall shower.  

When Chris Reeve came to build a Cambria, he did not want a double entry 44.  A new deck mold with a single entry was built, and was designated the new 46 model.  Four Cambrias were built using this new deck mold; three with the standard keel with board, and one with a deep custom fin keel with spade rudder. 

Most Cambrias of all sizes were built with a shoal draft keel with centerboard and skeg protected rudders.  Many owners never drop the boards because the Cambrias sail so well on all points, including to windward, with the board in the raised position.  With the board lowered, windward performance is enhanced.  The 6’ draft with the board up allowed entry to a large number of harbors and anchorages not available to deeper, fixed keel designs.  Only four Cambrias were built with deeper fixed keels. 

Many of the Cambria owners sail much of the time with two, and with additional accommodations for a second couple or a family of 6.  Most of the Cambrias were built with varnished teak interiors.  The majority of use is for cruising.  However, when raced, the Cambrias placed well in local and offshore races.  Over the years, surveyors confirmed her construction and finish to be comparable to the highest quality yachts built in the US and Europe.

Review of Cambria 44

Basic specs..

The Cambria 44 is equipped with a centerboard keel. A centerboard keel is a pivoting lifting keel, allowing to sail both coastal and inland waters.

The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.71 - 1.81 meter (5.61 - 5.91 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

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 Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 8.2 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 Cambria 44 is about 309 kg/cm, alternatively 1731 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 309 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1731 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 L/B (Length Beam 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 58m 2 (624 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

Cambria 44 CB

Cambria 44 CB is a 45 ′ 11 ″ / 14 m monohull sailboat designed by David Walters and built by Cabo Rico Custom Yachts, Inc. starting in 1985.

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)
