Sailboat Guide

Young 88 is a 29 ′ 3 ″ / 8.9 m monohull sailboat designed by Jim Young and built by Roger Land Yachts/Jim Young Marine Ltd. (NZ) starting in 1981.

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)

Sailboat-Cruising.com says...

The Young 88 is a fiberglass sailboat that was designed by Jim Young in 1981. Young was a renowned New Zealand yacht designer and sailor who had won several national and international championships. He wanted to create a boat that was fast, easy and affordable for the average sailor. He based his design on the successful Young 780, but made it bigger and better.

The Young 88 can carry up to 450 square feet (41.81 square meters) of sail area on its fractional rig, which consists of a mainsail, a genoa and a spinnaker. It can also be fitted with a masthead rig, which has a larger genoa and spinnaker.

The Young 88 has a roomy cockpit that can accommodate up to eight people. It also has a comfortable cabin that can sleep up to six people. The cabin has a galley, a head, a dinette and plenty of storage space. The interior layout can vary depending on the builder's preference, but it usually follows the original design by Young.

What are the strengths of the Young 88?

One of the main strengths of the Young 88 is its speed. It has a high aspect ratio rig that gives it excellent windward performance. It has a deep fin keel that provides stability and lift. It has a light displacement that increases its power and acceleration.

Another strength of the Young 88 is its comfort. It has a wide beam that gives it plenty of room inside and outside. The cockpit is large enough for sailing and socializing. The cabin is cozy enough for living and sleeping. The boat can carry enough supplies and equipment for short or long voyages.

A third strength of the Young 88 is its fun factor. It has a responsive helm that makes it easy to steer and maneuver. It has a spinnaker that adds excitement and challenge to downwind sailing. It has a lively personality that makes it enjoyable to sail in most conditions.

What are the weaknesses of the Young 88?

One of the main weaknesses of the Young 88 is its maintenance. It requires regular attention and care to keep it in good shape and performance. It can suffer from osmosis, delamination or cracking in the fiberglass hull or deck. It can also have problems with the rigging, hardware or systems.

Another weakness of the Young 88 is its versatility. It is designed for racing or cruising, but not both at the same time. It can be hard to balance between speed and comfort, or between performance and safety. It can also be difficult to adapt to different sailing conditions or preferences.

A third weakness of the Young 88 is its availability. It is not mass-produced by a major manufacturer, but rather custom-built by individual builders or owners. It is not easy to find on the market, especially in good condition and at a reasonable price. It is not well-known or popular among the sailing community, especially outside New Zealand.

What are the limitations of the Young 88?

One of the main limitations of the Young 88 is its light wind performance. It has a low sail area to displacement ratio that reduces its power and acceleration. It has a heavy keel that requires more wind to move. It has a fractional rig that is less efficient and aerodynamic than a masthead rig.

Another limitation of the Young 88 is its offshore capability. It does not have a self-righting hull that can recover quickly from a knockdown or capsize. It does not have a watertight bulkhead that can isolate a leak or a collision.

A third limitation of the Young 88 is its suitability. It is designed for experienced or adventurous sailors, but not for beginners or cautious sailors. It is suitable for inshore or coastal sailing, but not for ocean or bluewater sailing. It is suitable for racing or cruising, but not for fishing or diving.

Why should you choose the Young 88?

Despite its weaknesses and limitations, the Young 88 is still a great sailboat for the recreational sailor and the sailing enthusiast. It is a boat that offers speed, comfort and fun in a simple and affordable package. It is a boat that can take you on thrilling races, relaxing cruises or festive parties. It is a boat that can give you joy, satisfaction and pride.

If you are looking for a sailboat that has character, history and charm, you might want to choose the Young 88. This popular design has been around for over 40 years, but it still has a lot to offer to the modern sailor. Whether you want to race, cruise or party, the Young 88 can be your flexible and enjoyable companion.

Welcome to the Young 88 -

One design does it all.

The success of the Young 88 keel boat is down to Jim Young's fantastic design offering a fast and safe racer / cruiser coupled with Roger Land's innovative boat building and marketing.

Over 150 boats have been built since the 80s with active racing fleets in many Australian and New Zealand sailing centres.

A strong owners' association perpetuates this success, managing an annual program of racing and social events and a tightly controlled set of one design rules. This keeps the boats on the same playing field, affordable fun and safe.

Frequently asked questions.

Let us help answer the most common questions you might have.

How many team members are included?

The number of team members who can access reports or analyze data (Njord Analytics) or who can load video and prepare debriefs (Njord Player) is not limited, as long as everything relates to the same boat(s).

What counts as a sailing day?

You only pay for sailing days, i.e. the day that the boat's logging/tracking data was recorded. It does not matter if the data is uploaded at a later date, and you may view/analyze it as often and as long as you like. For continuous multi-day sails (e.g. offshore), only the day of dock-out is counted.

What discounts are available?

Loading tracking and instruments data from coach/chase boats is free, in particular when used to copy wind data to another (paid) boat. Choose the boat class "Chase Boat".

Loading data that is older than 180 days (from recording date to load date) is free of charge.

Hattie Wiener, Sex-Positive ‘Oldest Cougar,’ Dies at 88

She was an evangelist for older women having sex with younger men, and the health benefits that she said came with it.

Hattie Wiener, an ebullient and bawdy former dancer and therapist who found a measure of celebrity in her 70s for sleeping with younger men and promoting what she said were the anti-aging benefits of her lifestyle, died on June 21 at her home in Manhattan. She was 88.

She had been diagnosed with diastolic heart failure, and chose to end her life by refusing food and liquids, said her daughter, Rama Dunayevich.

Tabloids called her the Tinder Granny and the Oldest Cougar in the World, titles she was proud to claim. Ms. Wiener had long been an evangelist for older women having sex with younger men — a practice she began when she divorced in 1984, when she was 48 — and for the health benefits she felt accrued to those who followed her bedtime regimen, activities she promoted in a self-published book, “Sex and the Single Senior” (2009).

But it wasn’t until she was featured in “Strange Sex,” a 2010 documentary series on TLC, that she began to enjoy a sort of B-list fame, appearing as a reliably naughty guest on television shows like “Access Hollywood” and “Dr. Phil.”

“I realized that by sleeping with young men,” she said in “Strange Sex,” “I’m starting my life over again, because my husband was a young man and we had wonderful sex and now I’m repeating the pattern, but not with my husband or anyone his age.”

In that series, TLC filmed her date with an affable electrician and single father of three named Ron who was 40 years her junior. Ms. Wiener dressed with typical flair, in a studded dog collar, a black minidress and a gold bolero jacket; Ron looked like he was dressed for a barbecue. But he was a kindly date, and noted that he was fond of older women because of their confidence and because, as he put it, “They’re not looking for the happy ever after.”

Ms. Wiener appeared two years later, dressed with similar aplomb and radiating good humor, on “Extreme Cougar Wives,” another TLC series.

“People are always imagining that a cougar, that they’re clawing, they’re beasts of prey going after a boy toy or a cub,” she told “In the Know,” a Yahoo program, in 2020 , “and I have turned that around. At no time have I ever gone after a young man. I wait for a man to come on to me, and that happens quite often.”

Ms. Wiener was a dramatic and engaging presence, with her lush New York accent, her bedazzled style and her shock of white hair. She was cast, memorably, in a Dolce & Gabbana ad shot by Steven Klein for the fashion brand’s resort collection in 2009, wearing a gold one-shoulder, one-piece bathing suit, her hand entwined with that of a well-oiled muscle man (the supermodel Claudia Schiffer is featured, too). And she appeared in a few music videos, including a truly raunchy one by A2M.

Her distinctive look made her a favorite of Manhattan street photographers like Daniel Featherstone , who is partial to shooting older New Yorkers, and of Harry Mavromichalis , a documentary filmmaker and a founder of Glorious Broads , which celebrates women like Ms. Wiener. Mr. Featherstone captured Ms. Wiener on West 56th Street sporting a sheepskin vest and rose-colored glasses for a portfolio of stylish characters whom New York magazine lauded in 2019 as part of its annual series “Reasons to Love New York.”

“The opposite of old is not young,” Ms. Wiener told the writer Jenny Zhang for a short profile that accompanied the photograph. “The opposite of old is new.”

Hattie Messner was born on May 25, 1936, in Manhattan, and grew up in Brooklyn. Her mother, Sarah (Kagan) Messner, embellished the hats made by her father, Nathan Messner , a milliner and store owner who would go on to be president of the United Hatters, Cap and Millinery Workers union, before being forced to resign for refusing to sign a loyalty oath during the Cold War. (Ms. Wiener often said she was named in honor of her father’s profession.) She graduated from the High School of Performing Arts, and earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Brooklyn College in 1958.

She met Jack Wiener at a summer program for dance in Connecticut. They married in 1959, and in the early 1960s opened the School for Creative Movement in the Arts, a school for dance, drama and the arts on the Upper West Side. For a time after they divorced, Ms. Wiener took the surname RetroAge as a way of promoting her new business as an anti-aging coach, though she never changed her name legally. She also worked as a masseuse, a therapist and, in recent years, a sex coach.

Ms. Wiener was the author, with Sallie Batson, of “RetroAge: 4 Steps to a Younger YOU!” (2009). She also designed an anti-aging chair in 1992, with a back that supported correct posture. It never went into production.

“She wanted to be this spokesperson for older women,” her son, Joshua Wiener, said, “the next Oprah with the theme that aging women can be beautiful and sexy. It was a massive goal that in many ways didn’t align with her desire to have a life mate. She fluctuated between wanting fame and to be on a big stage and wanting a life partner. Dating young dudes was perhaps not the best choice for long-term happiness.”

“I was a committed virgin till 22,” she often said, “and a committed slut from 55 on.”

In addition to her daughter and son, Ms. Wiener is survived by her sister, Michele Kaufman, and three grandchildren.

In the last year or so, Ms. Wiener earned a modest living by posting erotic photos and videos on OnlyFans, the X-rated online subscriber platform. In the OnlyFans universe, her content was apparently fairly tame. Topless only, her daughter said.

An earlier version of this obituary misstated the year Mr. Wiener published the book “Sex and the Single Senior.” It was 2009, not 1990.

LENGTH: Traditionally, LOA (length over all) equaled hull length. Today, many builders use LOA to include rail overhangs, bowsprits, etc. and LOD (length on deck) for hull length. That said, LOA may still mean LOD if the builder is being honest and using accepted industry standards developed by groups like the ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council).

The then radical form of the Young 88 - a dinghy-like hull with an open transom - was well suited to both requirements.
