Evelyn 42 is a 42 ′ 1 ″ / 12.9 m monohull sailboat designed by Robert Evelyn and built by Formula Yachts 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)

Description

Chesapeake prior name Pterodactyl is hull # 4 of 7 Evelyn 42' racing sailboats built by Bob Evelyn of Formula Yachts of Groton CT in the 1980's. In 1995 Her keel was replaced with a Dobroth hollow stainless steel fin keel with lead bulb of 5500 lbs. increasing displacement to 12900lbs. In 2003 the motor and drive shaft were moved further aft out of the keel disturbed water also adding a Saildrive which further enhanced performance.

Before moving to the Chesapeake Bay, she participated in a full race schedule on the Great Lakes including weekly races, MAC Races ( Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac) winning class and 10th overall in addition to PHRF where she took overall Detroit season champion.

Chesapeake can be a winner, built as a heavy air "reacher" she loves big air!

Full Details

Walkthrough.

Boarding Chesapeake from the starboard aft you will notice a huge cockpit area seating 6 or more with tiller steering and convenient access to winches. One can easily move forward on wide port and starboard decks with life lines that have had their stations re-engineered for a wider foot for increased stability. Discontinuous rod rigging was removed and repaired as necessary in 2019 as was the mast. A complete Ockam Racing System displays are mounted on the cockpit forward bulkhead and at the base of the mast for convenient viewing by helmsman, navigator and crew.

The hatch for entry to the salon / interior is large with large steps. The steps' base double as an engine box cover. The interior is stripped for racing with open bulkheads forward and aft forming 5 compartments/cabins. Then compartment aft of the stairs has 4 pipe births, a head and sail storage. Aft of this is a storage space / lazaret with 2 overhead hatches. Forward of the cockpit steps is roomy port and starboard seating that could be berths. Next, toward toward the bow, on the port is a cabinet for hanging halyard storage, and additional storage cabinets to starboard. Next is the bow compartment that is open for storage with overhead hatch.

USSA Standard: LOA 42.4; LOW 36; Beam 12.5; Draft 7.42; Displacement 10,800 lbs.

Measured: LOA 42.4 LOW 36.2; Beam 12.77; Draft 8.33; Displacement 12,900 lbs.

SCROLL TO TOP

Ed Chimney Farmingdale, NY

There were 7 42s built. One is in a bird preserve somewhere down south. She is unrecoverable due some environmental restrictions. One was in Atlantic City along side a Hampton Inns on a causeway less keel, rudder and had a huge hole in her bottom. The 7th Evelyn 42 was discussed with Bob in 83-84 by a guy from Long Island. The gel coat was ordered but the contract was never signed. however a year or so later a fellow from New Orleans finished the boat in the dark blue gel coat Bob had ordered for the first guy. The boat was named Heartbeat. I too heard she was destroyed in a hurricane a number of years ago. From what I know she was a little different in the keel sump was lowered, the engine was a turbo diesel, and perhaps the rig was raised. Hooligan I believe is still owned by Dr. Peter Brinckerhoff (sp) from Fisher's Island. Rouge I believe was the first and originally called Stainless which basically won everything fro a number of years around 1980. Ed Dole bought her perhaps in the early 90s and raced her extensively until two years ago when she sold for around $30k.

So: Two wrecked, Hooligan, Pterodactyl, Rogue, Heartbeat, perhaps MATADOR (Could also be Heartbeat). So you just need one more which I've seen but can't remember.

I received this from Mike Leslie who owns Pterodactyl in Grosse Pointe, MI.

" I believe there were 6 built in total in the 1988-1989 period, all at Formula Yachts, ours is hull #4. Some of our crew saw Bob at KWRW 2 years ago and he apparently had some stories. Basically, the boats were all sold in Long Island Sound, and raced for a couple of years before (3 or 4) of them got new keels and rudders from Brandon Debroth. I have seen info on 4 of the boats, 1 still racing in Long Island ("Hooligan"), "Pterodactyl" in Detroit. and a 3rd boat named "Rouge," for sale last year in Long Island and a 4th, (name unknown) which was destroyed in a hurricane a few years back. The boat weights around 13,000 lbs with a 6,000 lb keel and 8.9 draft. It was built as a heavy air reacher and we've had it planing and doing upwards of 16kts sustained. The boat loves big air!

"In 2002 we made some big changes when we replaced shaft with a saildrive. The engine used to be located just behined the mast. It really opened up the interior. The floors were replaced 2 years ago with a nomex core carbon laminate.

"We race a very full schedule, which is 2 races per week, both Mac races (won class and 10th overall 3 years ago) and a number of other overnight races. In PHRF we have done very well, being overall detroit season champion 2 years ago. We focus a lot on the bottom, and completely re-faired it 3 years ago, stripping it down to the gelcoat and starting over. it's a very straight and stiff boat and a blast to drive, no matter how much it's blowing, just 2 fingers on the tiller is all it takes. "I've got some stories and pics and some engineering stuff as well that I'll try and get together. Bob's been spotted around some big regattas the last 2 years, it would be great to get his sailing story out... (saw race results from the electric boat yacht club regattas, where he sailed some interesting crafts)."
