Wavelength 24

Wavelength 24 is a 24 ′ 0 ″ / 7.3 m monohull sailboat designed by Paul Lindenberg and built by Schock W.D. between 1982 and 1990.

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)

In 2005, the WAVELENGTH 24 was brought back into production.

WD Schock Wavelength 24, hull 006

I should note above that the slides are not routed all the way through, and that starboard is rounded/beveled on the top already (came shipped to me that way, as that is how I ordered it)... anyway, that means there is a specific port and starboard hatch slide.  

Congratulations! Somehow I missed that you bought a Wavelength. That should be a great boat for you. I have always liked those boats. Jeff  

Our venue is frequently light air, and the WL seemed like a better choice than the S2... not sure. 2500lbs 1100lbs of it in keel? Might be an interesting boat to sail. Can't wait to give it a go.  

I almost bought one of these 3 years ago on large lake. I wish I had. Nice boat.  

Got lots of work to do this weekend will continue to post. Looking forward to end of April when I can splash the boat, and get some sailing shots.  

Are you going to do any camping with it or just day sailing?  

Mostly day sailing, but we have a few overnights a year on the lake. Best I can tell the quarter berths are decent comfy (about 7 foot long)... they seem likely to be most useful actually under way. The V berth doesn't look all that usable, but I dunno yet. There is a sink but its setup to pull from a 5 gallon flexible, and seems to drain back to a bucket, the prior owner appears to have adapted it to drain into the cooler.. that works I suppose. I see no reason to use the sink though. My biggest grief is the porta pottie, which would be unusable under the v berth. I may actually permanently attach the head brackets to the middle of the floor (yep you heard me)... and I'll move the pottie from middle of the floor to under the V, depending on what I'm doing. I solo sail lots, so having it easy to reach (and use) with the tiller pilot driving works for me.  

Lots of nice work going on there. WAVELENGTH 24 sailboat specifications and details on sailboatdata.com ^^^ gives the draft of the Wavelength 24' as 4.5' although I would have guessed it was deeper from your pictures. I bet you are going to need a pretty deep ramp to float your W24 off that trailer. Any thoughts on using a tongue extension or extension straps for launching/retrieving?  

You are doing some good work. I just don't understand a swim latter that only has one step under water. You really need at least three steps under water to make it useable. mine has the top step just under the water, the first step 2.5 feet below the water and it is still hard to get out of the water. I wish mine had a fourth step a foot lower  

My last ladder had 2. The one before that had just 1... Its a PITA, but it beats NO ladder. Yep now that the ladder is installed, I am thinking of upgrading to 4 rungs, but I'll defer until summer to see how bad it really is (because 2 might not be enough either). My bigger concern is its gonna rip a hole right through the transom (despite the huge backing plate).  

Nice work! We have a bunch of Wavelength' s on our lake here in Oregon. They are great boats. Congrats. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk  

Just spent the last 3 hours folded up under the cockpit installing a new breaker panel. Going from 5 position to 8 position DC panel. The panel was so screwed up I pulled out probably 10 lbs of extra wiring. There was an "optional" aux power in the cockpit for somethign unknown (maybe tiller pilot?)... also the VHF was wired directly to the battery. Finally each power source and ground was run all the way to the battery... I counted 5 leads to both... I installed 2 heavy duty source wires to a positive and negative bus, then extended that to the panel. I managed to get everything working again after pulling out literally feet upon feet of extra wire. I obviously went to the larger panel because I wanted to add some stuff, which I have yet to do (including converting the cockpit power to Tiller pilot hookup and also putting the VHF on the panel). I've not sourced the grounds for the LED lighting of the panel yet, but its next on the list. I'll take a picture of the final product as well as the plethora of panel, wires, screws and stuff I pulled out and dumped into the bilge as I lay twisted sideways wiring things up. This wasn't a fun job, but once its done it'll make me sleep better knowing it'll all be cleaned up. I'll probably add a bilge pump too.  

I have way more things to post pictures of, but I've been focused on getting them done, rather than taking pictures. I've been bad about that, I'll attempt to post finished pictures of each of those projects... Examples of things I've done... installed a remote speaker (for the VHF) installed a new VHF antenna Installed a AM/FM/Bluetooth dial-sized radio into the coach roof (so the crew can change stations, tracks, etc)... Its a Jensen too and has an app for your phone to allow you to control what is playing, change channels, mute, power off, etc (like a remote). installed speakers to cover up holes in the bulkhead.. and remounted and mounted some things using starboard. I've also installed a new floor to the boat (the Wavelength 24 has a raised wood floor, that is about 30"x60", that is held in place just by the edges). This floor was left behind when I purchased the boat (and was something someone manufactured anyway). So I actually made my own out of 3/4" finish grade plywood... I stained and varnished one side... then painted the other side white... depending on what route I go with the interior of the boat. About 1/3 of the teak has been painted over white in the boat, and I've been debating on painting the rest of it white. Lets see I also moved the VHF higher up, to make it easier to see. I may replace this unit with a Standard Horizon DSC one (with GPS)... I loved my old one, and it also allowed me to have a RAM mic. That may be overkill for this boat, I dunno. It sure was handy though. I painted my mast carrier stuff too... in hopes of helping them last a few years. Finally my tiller pilot install.

Today, many builders use LOA to include rail overhangs, bowsprits, etc. and LOD (length on deck) for hull length. That said, LOA may still mean LOD if the builder is being honest and using accepted industry standards developed by groups like the ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council).
