neptune 24 sailboat

Review of Neptune 24

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

The boat is equipped with 57.0 liter fresh water capacity.

The Neptune 24 has been built with different keel alternatives.

CentreBoard

One option is a centreboard keel. A centreboard keel is a pivoting lifting keel, allowing to sail both coastal and inland waters.

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 0.61 - 0.71 meter (2.00 - 2.30 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Another option is a fin keel. A boat with a fin keel is more manoeuvrable but has less directional stability than a similar boat with a full keel.

Neptune 24 can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.42 - 1.52 meter (4.66 - 4.96 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 Neptune 24 is 2.16, 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 6.1 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 Neptune 24 is about 104 kg/cm, alternatively 583 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 104 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 583 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?

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): 18.42

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 17m 2 (182 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

If you need to renew parts of your running rig and is not quite sure of the dimensions, you may find the estimates computed below useful.

Sailboat Guide Neptune 24 FK Neptune 24 FK is a 24 ′ 0 ″ / 7.3 m monohull sailboat designed by Capital Yachts Inc. and built by Capital Yachts Corp. starting in 1978. 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.

Neptune 24 transom Add to quote Ahoy, I am curious to know whether this is a normal occurence or something to be concerned about: When we run the outboard on our Neptune 24 at a high rev the transom bows out slightly from the pressure excerted....is this normal? We are in the process of restoring the rest of the boat and I have this image of finishing up and then watching the transom fall off as we motor up some day...! I have noticed that the motor mount, rudder and ladder are all backed on the inside by (presumably) marine plywood backing. I believe that wood may be giving out to dryrot at the edges, as one can pull off tufts of it from the extreme edges although the center of it is quite strong and firm. Cheers, Tim Kasper Finnegans Wake, San Diego   What size is the engine? What speed are you going? Sounds like the transom might be weak; but can't say for sure. Any idea how thick the transom fiberglass is or if it is cored or solid? If it's cored that would explain the flexing; the outer skin would push in because it is not transmitting load to the inner skin of the hull.   Hi, Thanks for the response! The engine is 6hp and at the most we have moved 7 knots but usually 3-5 knots. The fibergalss looks to be 1/8 inch but I am not positive. I am not sure if it is cored, the Capital Yachts manual states that after the gelcoat is applied to the mold: "next a series of continuous layers of multi-directional mat are applied and hand rolled to a constant thickness similar to the hull lay-up. A layer of woven roving is then applied to all high stress areas...including the motor mounts etc..." To me it doesn't look like the woven roving is there.   ?             176.1K members Top Contributors this Month Forums New posts Unanswered threads Register Top Posts Email What's new New posts New Posts (legacy) Latest activity New media Media New media New comments Boat Info Downloads Weekly Quiz Topic FAQ 10000boatnames.com Classifieds Sell Your Boat Used Gear for Sale Parts General Marine Parts Hunter Beneteau Catalina MacGregor Oday Help Terms of Use Monday Mail Subscribe Monday Mail Unsubscribe Neptune 24 Mast Thread starter 5760sailor Start date Mar 30, 2021 Forums for All Owners Parts Search Maxspar Used Masts Used Sailboat Masts and Booms This site uses cookies to help personalise content, tailor your experience and to keep you logged in if you register.
