About the Eclipse Woods

With limited specifications available, the Eclipse Woods represents something of an enigma in the sailing world, making it a challenging boat for prospective buyers to fully evaluate. This relative obscurity in the market suggests it may be either a smaller production run vessel or a design that didn't achieve widespread commercial success. Based on its naming convention and what can be gleaned from available information, the Eclipse Woods appears to be positioned as a recreational sailing vessel, though determining its specific intended use—whether coastal cruising, club racing, or general recreational sailing—proves difficult without more detailed specifications. The "Woods" designation in the name might suggest traditional construction methods or materials, potentially indicating a boat built during an era when wood was still a primary boatbuilding material. For potential buyers considering the Eclipse Woods, thorough research and professional survey become even more critical given the limited available data. Prospective owners should be prepared to invest additional time in understanding the boat's construction, performance characteristics, and maintenance requirements. The scarcity of information may also impact parts availability and resale value considerations.

Performance Ratios
Displacement/Length Displacement to Length ratio measures how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. Lower values mean a lighter, faster boat.
Under 100 — Ultralight racer100–200 — Light cruiser/racer200–300 — Moderate cruiser300–400 — Heavy cruiserOver 400 — Very heavy
90.85
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
5.71
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
4.25
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 7.46 kn
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 12.86 pounds/inch
