Pisces 21 is a 20 ′ 8 ″ / 6.3 m monohull sailboat designed by C. W. (Chuck) Paine and built by Classic Boat Shop starting in 1999.

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)

Available as gaffhead or marconi sloop.

Mist hung in the air like a curtain of gauze. Ashore, an American flag hugged its flagpole like a desperate child clinging to his mother’s leg. Everywhere we looked, only the to-ing and fro-ing of a few tenders disturbed the harbor’s surface. As we prepared to set sail, a zephyr occasionally chased capillary waves across our bow, but the puffs were barely strong enough to deflect a column of punk smoke- for centuries used by mariners to determine the wind’s direction in extremely light air.

Still, we hoisted sail, hopeful as children at Christmas. Designer Chuck Paine, builder Jean Beaulieu and I had converged on Southwest Harbor, Maine, to sail the Pisces 21, and by God, we’d let nothing stand in our way. Our bullheadedness came from knowing this elegant little daysailer, the daughter of Aeolus, is a master at making her own wind. So, up with the mainsail, up with the jib and let go the mooring pennant. The beautifully cut sails rustled, and we began to make way. None of our crew felt the driving force on his face.

We left the mooring buoy in our wake and steered toward shore on a close reach, making a couple of knots. Steering any boat in light air requires gentle, thoughtful input at the tiller, but some boats don’t respond quickly or accurately. A great light-air boat does, and the Pisces is among them. I was able to weave among the moored boats with nary a worry about misjudging our speed or the boat’s willingness to hang onto my course. I did not have a GPS, so I can’t say exactly how fast the Pisces was sailing, but I am sure she was faster than the wind. We tacked and reached for the mouth of the harbor, chasing the stronger winds that tantalized us, always several boatlengths away. When we fell off to a run, again tempted by cat’s paws, the Pisces sighed and threatened to stop, unable to make her own wind. Before she gave up entirely, we rounded up and caught a beam reach back to the mooring.

Paine designed Pisces for Beaulieu to build in series at his Classic Boat Shop in Bernard, Maine. She’s a modern interpretation of N.G. Herreshoff’s Fish Class, a 16-foot LWL one-design from the early 1900s. The word “interpretation” is important because the Pisces is not a copy. To reduce the weather helm Fish Class boats exhibited, Paine moved the center of lateral resistance aft and the sail plan’s center of effort forward. The Pisces also is more stable than her antecedent because Paine spread the ballast over a greater length and girth. This modification lowered the center of gravity and reduced the draft by 2 inches. Widening the water plane added a touch of form stability. “In combination, Paine said, “these minor tweaks give the hull just enough more righting moment to stand up to the stronger and less porous sailcloth materials used today- a change I am sure Captain Nat would have made himself had he lived to see the advent of Dacron sailcloth.

Beaulieu builds the Pisces from clear cedar and Douglas fir set in epoxy resin and vacuum-bagged. A layer of fiberglass on the outside adds stiffness and resistance to abrasion. The transom, sheer strake and seats are mahogany. Spars are painted aluminum, but he’ll make them of Sitka spruce in a gaff or Marconi rig. Prices start at $52,700 for the basic boat, but you could easily run that up to about $70,000 if you select the diesel auxiliary and other options. The number of admiring glances and words of praise you’ll have to endure are worth the price of admission.

“ I just received my asymmetrical spinnaker, with sock and turtle bag, along with a new 135 Genoa. The entire process was simple and both sales and the design team were in regular contact if there were any questions. The customer portal was easy to use and lets you keep track of where in the process your sails are. Great sails, great service -Graham Edwards (Facebook)

“ The whole team at Precision Sails was fantastic from start to finish. We’ve had a laminate main and genoa made so far and have a spinnaker on the way. They listened carefully to our needs and recommended a great sail cloth. We couldn’t have gotten more bang for our buck! -Noah Regelous (Google)

“ We received our spinnaker and launched it yesterday and I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with it. The service we received from your company was exceptional and the quality of your product is second to none. We will certainly be return customers in the next few months to replace our main and jib sails and will recommend your company to all our sailing buddies. Once again-thank you.” -Daniel Jackson (Google)

“ we had good communication during the planning stages and the knowledgeable people at precision sails really got me fixed up good! The sails look and work fabulous! my boat sails better than it ever had! couldn’t be more pleased with the product AND the service!” -Fred Jelich (Facebook)

“ Our new furling jib for a Corsair 27 Had to be specially designed due to the height of the furler, but this was accomplished quickly and in short order we had our sail which fits beautifully and has a great shape. It’s everything we could have wanted, high tech design, thoughtfully executed and affordable.” -Nancy Y. (Yelp)
