Kells 23 is a 22 ′ 11 ″ / 7 m monohull sailboat designed by Paul A. Lindh and built by Kells Corp. between 1971 and 1980.

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)

A shallow draft keel version was also available. (also trailable). Kells Corp. was located in Tiverton, RI, USA. Little else is known about the company. A KELLS 22 also exists which is clearly different in appearance but even less is known about it.

I need to locate a rigging diagram for a 1979 Kells 23 centerboard sloop. We recently came into possession of the boat but we need help w/the rigging.  

to skegger. im restoring the same boat you have a kell 23. im in need of help setting up my regging because this is my first sailboat. the best place is to go to the sailboat show in ac this year you should be able to get info on it there.  

Hello from Albert in San Francisco, CA. I have purchased a Kells 23 and also need a rigging guide or owners manual for this boat. Thanks for any information you may have. Albert [email protected]  

I bought a Kells 23 and need info or manual also

Neglected Kells 23 sailboat... advice sought

Kells 23 strawler conversion A friend gave me a Kells 23 sailboat, it's a bit like a Catalina 22, but with a glassed-in 750 lb shoal draft keel. I had the boat checked out at the marina (unfortunately after doing the registration paperwork), and the mechanic said I should throw it away. Some hardware at the bow was removed and water intruded and rotted the balsa core decks. They gave me a break on the storage fees, but wanted it off their lot. I should have known something was wrong when I towed it 40 miles home. Inside the boat there was a couple hundred gallons of water sloshing around. Naturally this rotted most of the wood, especially the wood between the fiberglass layers. Apparently Kells laid plywood down and then glassed over it to create flat surfaces. Well, the fiberglass hull seems sound, but the upper layer is just peeling away from the rotted plywood. I'm not sure how to get a look at all of it, save cutting out the molded in furniture (galley, dinette, etc). I'm not really sure what to do at this point. Throwing away the boat will cost money at the dump, but I should be able to recoup some from recycling or selling the sailing bits. (How would I cut off and salvage a 750 lb glassed-in lead keel?) The trailer is the best part of the boat, it might offset the dump fee. Or... I've seen some neat terminal trawlers, sprawlers, etc, and this looks like it would be a good hull for a project like that. It's fairly flat on the bottom and doesn't look like it'll roll wildly. The keel isn't too deep. And it's sitting on a trailer next to the house, so it's easy to work on in spare moments. What to do?

Believe those who say get rid of it. Cut off the keel with a masonary saw blade and a little caution. Sell the lead/ sailing bits (good luck, there are a lots around) If you want to avoid dump fees, use the same saw blade to cut up small chunks to put in the trash, for the next year or so.  

Here's a pic of the rotten plywood and the fiberglass skin peeling up.

Another pic of where this came from. I wish garbage collection was free, we pay to put a tag on every can, so the dump might actually be cheaper.

The fixed shoal version, which is what I think you have: This could be converted into a harbor launch, a putt putt or a displacement power cruiser, but it's a bit of work. Draft is just 28" and the ballast is about 700 pounds, in the bottom of the fin. Hack out what's bad, make a simple sidedeck to support the sheer, maybe a small cuddy cabin with a helm on the aft bulkhead. A new cockpit sole and a 9.9 HP outboard mounted in the center of the transom.

Once again a rotten ply core!. This is a common problem on loads of boats and is primarily down to 1. Ply quality, mostly exterior or interior not marine and 2. The ply has not been sealed with resin prior to glassing in and 3. Fasteners put in or through, that allow water into the core ie unsealed holes. It happens in boats 5 or 6 years old, let alone older. In fact those photos show recognisable ply as opposed to the 'dust' I found in the footwell of a 10 year old 2.4 Meter recently!. PAR has it right, chop out the rotten stuff and replan it or jigsaw it into litle bits and dump. If the basic hull is still good and stiff despite minor areas of core repair it maybe worth doing. If the hull is soft in many places, I would be wary ofmaking it seaworthy. Ask someone local (and knowledgeable) who can get a 'hands on' feel of the boat in a non judgemental way ie will tell it as it is. Most likely, not worth any yard touching but as a personal project doable but only if the hull shell is sound.  

Par, your design brief is exactly what I had in mind. I would cut the top off at the sheer and install wide side decks over them. A cuddy would be a from-scratch design, there is nothing worth keeping. An outside helm seems necessary on a boat this size to get the most room in the cabin. Although I'm also considering a tiller outboard, leaving the vee berth as a casting deck and a huge and uncluttered self-bailing deck for the rest of the boat. Putt putt workboat of sorts. Suki, thanks for the details. I'll pull out what I can and get someone to inspect the outer hull.  

I would recommend you use remote steering and controls, as the boat's balance wouldn't like you standing at it's stern with a tiller steer setup. These are easy to rig as a home made system, or you could spring for a factory made system. Forget about standing headroom, unless it's under a soft dodger of some sort (bimini). Weight things as you cut and remove them, so you know how much weight you can put back.  

It begins  

It's important to support the boat properly , before you remove too much structure, as the hull can distort and ruin it's shape. This often is simple a set of female station molds, say 3 or 4 along the length of the boat, attached to the trailer or building cradle. This will insure the boat can rest in a set of shapes, similar to what it's suppose to be. Plywood or exterior rated OSB will do, with a few stringers (1x2's, 2x4's, etc.) between them, to help hold up unsupported areas and keep the molds in alignment. The deck cap will require some force to remove, unless you cut the flange. I don't recommend cutting this flange, because it offers a great deal of stiffness to the sheer. Cut the cap, remove the bulk of it, then slice off the cap's flange, leaving the hulls portion intact. This remaining flange will help a lot in attaching new sidedecks. For a powerboat, you'll want two longitudinal stringers (1x6's) from the transom, running as far forward as the hull will permit (likely ending near the aft face of a V berth). They'll sit on edge and be "tabbed" to the hull shell about 12" to either side of the centerline. The hull looks like it had a vertical element in this location anyway, so it'll want this support. Over these stringers, you'll install the plywood sole plates, glued and screwed to the stringers and a perimeter cleat, tabbed to the hull shell along the edges. Of course make some access and permit drainage with weep holes, any place water can collect. Tabbing should be a least a few layers of 45/45 biax, with a 4" overlap as minimum.  

I was going to cut the cap and keep both flanges, and install side decks on top. I'm not sure why I would remove the cap flange? My local lumber store has Meranti in 1/2" and 3/4", but other sizes will be a special order and very expensive. So I'm thinking to use 1/2" marine ply doubled up for the stringers. Will I need cross braces perpendicular to the stringers, and if so, at what intervals? There were no stringers or vertical structures here, just a plywood sub-floor that rotted out. Maybe the centerboard model had supports, but the fixed keel version has nothing. All of the molded-in furniture was suspended off the hull and not providing structure to the hull in any way. The hull layup is surprisingly stiff, and I wonder if I'll need molds. The sole I can do out of 3/4" Meranti, I want it solid like walking on a dock. I'm assuming the cleats can be out of 1x1s, but then I wouldn't want to screw through that, right? What about not screwing, just gluing down with epoxy and weighting with sand bags? Will three overlapping layers of 6" 6oz biax be enough, or would you use 12oz on the stringers? Many thanks!  

The deck cap flange may be glued in position, though considering the era of the boat, it's probably just screwed together with sheet metal screws over a bed of butyl rubber sealant. On a boat this age, the screws and/or the sealant should be questioned, which is why I recommended removing it. Though the "liner" seems to not have been supporting anything, I'm sure it was, certainly by way of athwart stiffness. Yes, the liner does seem to float in space, but all the curves and angles within it, are attached at the rail, greatly stiffening it up. 3/4" plywood for a sole on this size boat is considerably more then you need. 3/8" to 1/2" is all it takes. A 1x1 doesn't have much contact area, let alone sufficient depth to receive a screw. Use a 1x2, glued on the flat around the perimeter of the sole, beveling the top so it lands flush. Once glued, tab this sole perimeter cleat on with at least 2 layers of 12 ounce biax. If you want solid, use closely spaced supports under the sole (16" is good, but 24" is more common). These can be 1/4" plywood, tabbed to the hull shell. These supports and two longitudinal stringers I mentioned, make a bit of an "egg crate" sort of deal under the sole, which is stiff and light. It's usually necessary to glue a 1x2 along the top edge of these, so you have a wide enough area for gluing the sole. Screws aren't necessary, but can be handy as temporary fasteners as the goo cures. 6 ounce biax is for canoes and kayaks. Use 12 ounce. Also avoid the combo fabrics, like 1208, as they are biax stitched to mat, which just wastes resin and adds little strength.  

From looking at the inside and outside, it appears the top cap was epoxied at the flange. Good news, one less thing to remove. I'm going to cut out a good chunk of the cap tomorrow.  

That's the classic "shoe box" flange (the weakest, but most common type) and it appears to be polyurethane, not epoxy. The polyurethane will be hard, but you can dent it with a fingernail pushed in firmly. I'd still remove the deck cap portion of the flange, if only to insure it's not going to leak (pretty common on this type of flange). The fastener spacing seems pretty skimpy too, so random leaks would be a reasonably assessment on a boat this old. To remove the old polyurethane, after the screws are pulled, a hot knife or my preferred method, a hot hacksaw blade. I have a hacksaw blade I've attached to a wooden handle and I heat it with a torch, then work it along the seam by hand. This allows me to feel what's getting cut and the glowing hot blade slides right through the cured goo.

New Owner of a Kells 23 Coastal Cruiser

• Thread starter ahostler
• Start date Nov 22, 2019

• Ask All Sailors

Good afternoon. I just purchased a 73 Kells 23 Coastal Cruiser. It is in pretty good shape, it does have some fiberglass work that needs done, but nothing too crazy. It has the sink and it is intact, but i cant find the fresh water storage tanks. Does anyone know where they were stored in this boat. the drain hose, and the supply hose are both located under the sink, but there are no water tanks. Thanks in advance

Thanks Jssailem. I will post pictures this weekend. I did not see a fill hole on the deck, but there are several places in the cabin that could store water. I was worried about the tank placement, i didn't want to put the weight of the water tanks in the wrong spot. I do have storage under the Vbirth, order the sink itself, or under either of the bench seats in the cabin. again, i will post pictures this weekend to get some good opinions as to where to place them. Thanks again  

Are you installing a sink? Sailing in fresh water or salt. Perhaps you do not want a sink. All depends on how you are going to use the boat. On my M15 trailer boat, I used a dish pan avoiding the all the sink issues of water storage and disposal. It was camping like back packing. Drinking water was carried in a 5 gallon thermos (like you see on a contractors rig). There are many ways to keep the boat light and trailerable.  

we are going to use it like a camper, but my wife is going to want water. It will be used for long weekends, and some day sailing. I think we are going to slip it at the lake we bought it from, so it will mostly be used in fresh water, but i am sure if my wife has her way, it will make trips to salt water. Salt water kind of makes her relax a bunch.  

A relaxed wife makes a sailor happy. So you are going to install water storage and a pressure system. Thinking cold fresh water. I am going to bet you are designing a first of it's kind, for the Kells 23 owner group. In most modern boats Pex is used to design a water system. A pressure pump, available at many on line retailers, provides the water pressure. Any faucet that fits your decor can be used. Unlikely, you want to add a hot water system, as that would entail a 2 tank storage system. Easier to boil water to heat it.  

A pressurized system is going to take some work. My Mac 26S had a jug under the sink that ran to a hand actuated pump faucet. It was simple and worked greata  

that was the general idea, but i did kick around the idea of installing a propane tankless hot water system. they are very inexpensive, and look like it would do a nice job. it would not require 2 tanks, and could be hidden pretty easily. the one i found can be mounted inside the cabin, according to the manufacturer, and only requires D batteries to spark the igniter. we will see, i am a long way from that.

His background includes 11 years with the New Bedford Port Authority, the last six as port director. Today, he's the managing director of Coast Line Transfers, or CLT Marine , which is one of the seven firms seeking to become part of the New Bedford State Pier's redevelopment. CLT is a commercial marine service provider to the expanding offshore wind industry, as well as the marine industry in the Northeast. Their focus is on crew-transfer vessels, as well as offshore supply vessels, and they provide support to marine services in southern New England. Servedwell: Could a restaurant on New Bedford State Pier bring 200,000 people downtown? What to know. Proposing use of existing Buildings 1 and 2 In simple terms, Anthes-Washburn said during a presentation hosted by MassDevelopment in May, "We're boat people who want to do boat stuff on the east face" of State Pier. MassDevelopment , the state’s development finance agency and land bank, manages the state-owned, 8-acre pier. A MassDevelopment review committee is evaluating the proposals. The seven proposals before the committee could be approved together, separately or denied altogether. A decision deadline has not been announced. CLT, which is operating from the State Pier now, proposes the use of existing Buildings 1 and 2, including about 2.3 acres of pier space in all. BASE: New Bedford State Pier proposal makes fishing a destination attraction. What to know. What does CLT want to do at the New Bedford pier? They want to continue to develop their relationship with the offshore wind industry while providing a hub for marine industrial activity, as well as rejuvenate the cargo offloading in the facility. Anthes-Washburn said CLT would be acting as the anchor tenant, "but we do want to operate it as sort of an open terminal." He added, "We do think that construction support and maintenance can happen here on the east face so we want to continue to develop that version of construction support and operations and maintenance." Anthes-Washburn said, "We envision using the facility that's there, using the infrastructure and the utilities that are there, and doing very little differently from what you see now." Cuttyhunk: New Bedford State Pier's Cuttyhunk Ferry is a 'lifeline' to tiny Cuttyhunk Island 'We can work with Seastreak' He said there is 20,000 square feet on Building 1's first floor they're focused on. The other 5,000 square feet is occupied by Seastreak, he said. They don't want to push Seastreak out, he said. "We think we can work with Seastreak." The building's second floor would be used for warehouse space. They also want to use the cold storage capability in Building 2. "It's a real asset. There's a big opportunity to continue to provision offshore and fishing vessels" with fresh food through the cold storage capability. Cruise Lines: New Bedford State Pier park facility proposed by American Cruise Lines Will generate direct and indirect jobs Their proposal will generate about 120 new jobs, he said. Anthes-Washburn added, "We think it's completely reasonable to expect 270 indirect jobs from our operations over there." He added, "The activity that is generated on this pier really does trickle down. Whether it's fuel, provisions, the hotels." Seastreak: Seastreak ferry business thrives at New Bedford's pier. It's making its case to the state Completed over 2,000 safe transfers to date They've been very successful in the offshore wind industry's opening chapter. "We did the first [crew] transfer for the Vineyard Wind project back in November 2022." They've completed over 2,000 safe transfers to date. "It's been a lot of fun, and we continue to want to invest in new vessels and new facilities to be able to provide that service in a more comprehensive way," Anthes-Washburn said. CLT will also perform consulting work They will also be doing consulting work, "helping developers in the supply chain figure out how offshore wind is going to happen in the U.S." The company's background provides it with a firsthand knowledge of local port communities throughout the Northeast. The company also started a joint venture in 2019 with HST Marine, out of the United Kingdom, to build new vessels in the United States. State Pier proposal: Train New Bedford kids for a future in offshore wind industry. HST was purchased by Purus Wind over the course of the last 18 months, he added. "We're looking forward to building vessels here in the U.S. and hopefully operating them out of New Bedford." In other words: "Boat people doing boat stuff." Two ejected in upstate NY boat incident; search continues for missing operator A search will resume this morning after two people were ejected into the water following a boating incident on Sodus Bay in the town of Sodus, according to the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies reported that a single cigar boat collided, leading to both the operator and passenger being ejected into the water. The female passenger was brought to shore by other boaters to seek medical attention and was airlifted by Mercy Flight to Strong Memorial Hospital for treatment of her injuries. Search ongoing for missing boater in Sodus Bay in upstate NY The Sheriff's Marine Patrol and Dive Team searched the area into the early morning hours but were unable to locate the male operator. The search for the missing operator will resume at 7 a.m. Monday. The investigation into the collision is ongoing.
