The true sail area (with 100% foretriangle) for the CR38 is 763, not 969. The
SA/Disp is actually 15.79, not 20. And the Hull Speed is 7.33, making a
sustained 11 knot through the water rather unlikely. And I noticed someone
attributed it to Ellis (who designed the NE38, renamed NE400, as well as the
Nonsuch's) but it actually came from the board of Bill Crealock.


My bad. You're right, it is a Crealock design. I don't know where I got
the mistaken idea it was from Mark Ellis.

Like many production boats, it's also much modified over the production
run. The hull shape is as he designed it, but I'm not sure how much else it.
