Review of Saphire 27

Basic specs..

The boat is equipped with 42.0 liter fresh water capacity.

The boat equipped with a fractional rig. A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a genaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed.

DaggerBoard

The Saphire 27 is equipped with a daggerboard keel. A daggerboard is a lifting keel that can be lowered and raised, allowing the boat to enter shallow waters as well.

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 0.45 - 0.55 meter (1.48 - 1.78 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

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 Saphire 27 is 2.31, indicating that this boat would not 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 6.6 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 Saphire 27 is about 125 kg/cm, alternatively 703 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 125 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 703 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 a Ballast Ratio?

What is Displacement Length Ratio?

What is SA/D (Sail Area Displacement 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 24m 2 (258 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

Saphire 27 is a 26 ′ 2 ″ / 8 m monohull sailboat designed by Fontana Maletto Navone and built by Saphire AG starting in 2013.

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)

SA Details: Mainsail 29.00 m2 Family Mainsail 25.00 m2 Jib 15.00 m2 Gennaker (optional) 75.00 m2 Code 0 (optional) 35.00 m2 Carbon mast and boom.

Saphire 27 Cruise 

Saphire yachts is a young swiss company that specialises in producing small, sporty trailerable yachts that can be raced or cruised..

This is the new Cruise version, which offers a toned down alternative to her sister, and features a reduced aluminium rig which supplants the original carbon fibre one. In addition, the accommodation is less spartan than before, with a fixed double berth forward and inner hull liner for a smarter finish. Taking all that into account, there is also a considerable price reduction compared to the Sport version.

Seven escape from Utah Lake boat fire with no injuries

by Kaigan Bigler, KUTV

LINDON, Utah (KUTV) — Seven people escaped from a boat fire on Utah Lake near Lindon.

Sgt. Dallin Turner with Utah County Sheriff's Office said a call for a boat on fire at Utah Lake came in at about 2 p.m. Monday.

All seven people on the boat were wearing life jackets and jumped off the boat, Turner said.

He added that the cause of the fire was under investigation Monday night.

We Facet over 25,000 gemstones a year for Customers Just Like You who found Sapphires in our Sapphire Gravel

Faceting is a grinding and polishing process (commonly called “cutting”) that creates a beautifully finished gemstone suitable for jewelry. In addition to heat treating and faceting over 25,000 sapphires per year, we can facet your other precious and semi-precious gems. We regularly facet garnets, topaz, amethyst, citrine and sunstone. We have two options for faceting your rough stones. Our most popular option for small and average size sapphires and other precious and semi-precious stones is “Overseas” cutting. If you have a large, high value, sapphire, we recommend you spend the extra money to have your stone faceted locally in “Montana”.

Overseas Faceting

Our most popular option for creating beautifully finished gemstones from your rough stones is our “Overseas” cutting option. We undertake all of the sorting and grading and evaluate each stone individually to select the best cut to maximize the value of the gemstone. Each order is handled and packaged individually. We then ship the stones to Sri Lanka for faceting. Sri Lanka has a long history of producing gemstones and an excellent lapidary industry. Their government regulations and Customs strictly control the import and export of gemstones. Our detailed inventory sheets contain individual stone weights, piece counts, parcel weights and scanned color images of every order and are double checked to ensure you get your exact same gemstone back. Although Sri Lanka is not the least expensive locality to have the gemstones cut, our experience has shown that they offer the best cutting quality, especially the finished polish quality. Overseas cutting is the best option for small and average sized sapphires and other stones such as garnet, amethyst, topaz and sunstone. The cost of overseas faceting is very cost effective, we provide quantity price breaks making it cost effective to facet even small stones. As always, our services come with our full replacement and refund guarantee on our sapphires.

Montana Faceting

If you have a large, high value, sapphire, we recommend you keep you sapphire local for faceting in “Montana”. We consider any sapphire over three carats in the rough to be a “money” stone. A three carat rough stone will frequently finish into a one carat finished gemstone. Most of our one carat finished gemstones are valued at $600 to $2,000 each! Larger rough sapphires finish into even larger gemstones. We’ve returned sapphire gemstones to customers that we conservatively valued at over $20,000! As such, it’s worth spending the extra money for Montana Faceting.  We specialize in “specialty cuts”. We offer custom designs, special shapes and way more than just your standard 57 facet round brilliant. If you have a deep stone with a fairly light color saturation, we are going to suggest a three, four or five row Portuguese Round with up to 161 scintillating facets. If your stone is a little flat with a much larger diameter to depth, we’ll recommend an 81 facet “Sherry” cut with slightly shallower angles on the pavilion If you want an unusual shape, we have a custom “Square Brilliant” that will knock your eyes out. Yes, you can still get that standard 57 facet round brilliant for a little less money, but when you have a truly spectacular stone potentially worth thousands of dollars, we encourage you to spend the extra money and make the stone all your own with a custom cut of exceptional quality.

Cutting Yield

There is a big difference between size and weight. Many of our new customers are surprised when their cut gemstones only weigh a fraction of the rough stones they left. That is because there is a big difference between size and weight in relationship to shape. Most of the cut gemstones we return to customers are only one millimeter smaller in diameter than the rough stone, and we seldom lose more than two millimeters in size. However, the shape of a finished gemstone is markedly different than the shape of the rough stone. Most of our rough stones are relatively round and have a weight that can be calculated based upon the shape of a sphere (ball). The volume (or weight) of a sphere is a 4/3rds radius cubed function. However, a cut gemstone has a flat top and a pointed bottom. It is a cone. The volume (or weight) of a cone shape is a 1/3rd radius squared times the height function. Simply because of the change in shape from a sphere to a cone, there is a 4/3 to 1/3 loss in weight ratio which is compounded by a radius cubed loss due to any loss in diameter.

 The weight of the finished gemstone verses the weight of the rough stone is referred to as “yield”. The yield of the finished gemstone is totally dependent upon the shape and size of the rough stone. Irregular shapes and smaller sizes have a much lower yield. The average yield of 3 and 3.5 millimeter cut stones is only 18%. When we are cutting very small 2 mm and smaller accent stones for our own use in building jewelry for the store the yield is only 6% to 9%. As the rough stones get larger, the yield increases. We usually get 25% yield from 1.5 to 2 carat rough stones. Two carat and larger rough stones typically yield finished gemstones that weigh 25% to 33% the weight of the rough stone. It is very rare to have a finished gemstone weigh more than 35% the weight of the rough stone. Again, the finished weight of the gemstone is totally dependent upon the shape of the rough stone.
