Without Compromising Either One The Lightning, a 19 foot trailerable centerboard sloop, was originally designed by Sparkman & Stephens as an affordable family day-sailor and racing boat. She has evolved into one of the most popular and competitive one-design racing classes in the world. Awarded ISAF International Class status, the Lightning is sailed in more than 13 countries and in the Pan American Games, and the class provides a professionally-managed association that is among the largest in all of one-design sailing. The Lightning’s rig is simple, but offers sophisticated sail shape controls. The hull features a unique hard chine design that combines the stability that provides sail-carrying power, with flat bottom sections that promote planing. The International Lightning Class Association protects the boat’s design and licenses custom and private builders to build boats under its administration. A list of Lightning builders is available from the ILCA upon request.

Dinghy Responsiveness, Sportboat Performance

The Best Of Both Worlds Whether racing or daysailing, the Lightning offers a combination of performance and stability that eludes most one-designs. The Lightning’s hard chine and 130 lb centerboard give her the stability and power of a small keel boat going to weather in strong winds and allow her to carry a very large spinnaker for breathtaking offwind rides. There’s room in the cockpit for two couples or a family to daysail, but the Lightning is easy to ramp launch and light enough to trailer with ease. In the event of a capsize, she can be righted and sailed dry by her crew.

Refined Design, Toda

The Best Of Both Worlds Whether you’re more interested in how a boat looks or how it behaves, it’s hard to beat the Lightning. The Class maintains an attitude that promotes conservative innovation, making the boat faster, safer and more maintenance free, while keeping prices affordable. Most Lightnings built in the last 25 years can be made competitive and it’s not uncommon to see them winning races right along with new ones. In fact the 1995 World Champion sailed a boat built in 1969! Modern Lightnings are built in foam-cored fiberglass with stainless steel centerboards and black anodized aluminum spars. The world’s top sailmakers give the class their best efforts. In short, there are enough controls to keep the most technically inclined happy, but it’s good tactics, boat-handling and hiking that win races.

The Best Competition In The World Or A Way To Get Away From It

The Best Of Both Worlds

Ted Turner, Dennis Conner, Ken Read, Dave Dellenbaugh, Dave Curtis, Bruce Goldsmith, Tom Allen, Neal Fowler, Steve Benjamin, Ched Proctor, Bill Shore, Greg Fisher, Andy Horton are just a few of the rock stars who have competed in the Lightning. After more than 60 years and more than 15,000 boats it’s easy to find a regatta when you want to. But whether you’re interested in serious racing or you just want to go for a joyride with the family, you’ll find what you’re looking for in the Lightning. Club Racer Or International Icon

The Lightning truly excels as a racing boat. It requires a wide range of different skills, both tactical and technical. At 700 pounds all up, the boat is tough enough to avoid frequent breakdowns, but light enough to plane wildly on the reaches. A World Championship is held every two years. North American, South American and European Championships are held each year as are innumerable regional and District championships. Major regattas attract some of the finest sailors in the world, but you find class members friendly and the sailmakers’ complete tuning guides helpful at getting you up to speed in a hurry.

The International Lightning Class Association

Welcome To Our World

The ILCA is one of the oldest and best organized class associations in sailboat racing. Its primary purpose is to serve its membership, preserve the integrity of the Lightning and provide high-quality competitive events. In addition, the ILCA publishes a monthly newsletter Lightning Flashes with up-to-date regatta news, boat brokerage and ideas on how to get the most out of your Lightning. An annual Yearbook, containing many illustrated articles, reports on major championships, fleet reports and a complete association mailing list, is also published. The professional ILCA staff is always on hand to assist both current and potential members. If you’re looking for a boat you can be proud to sail, one that offers dinghy handling with the performance of a sportboat, a refined design that’s free of fads, complete with the technology of today for both racing and daysailing

The Top 10 Things I Like About The Lightning: 1. There’s Lightning racing almost everywhere. 2. Some of the best sailors in the world sail the Lightning. 3. Lightnings are available from more than one high-quality builder. 4. Lightnings even 20 years old are still competitive. 5. The boat is one of the best crew trainers on the water today. 6. The class is not so strict as to discourage experimentation which makes the boat faster and easier to sail. 7. The Lightning has interested the finest sailmakers in the world so the sails and the tuning guides look great and are easy to use. 8. The Lightning is a very roomy boat for daysailing. 9. Lightning sailors sail hard, but they’re not too cutthroat – someone’s always ready to answer questions. 10. The class management is as good as you’ll find in one-design sailing.

Seller's Description

Lightning 19’, 1985 Lightning #14009

located near St Louis, MO.

Comes with 3 complete sets of sails, trailer, brand new VSP top cover, measurement cert and clear titles for boat and trailer.

Very solid boat and still competitive. or phone 618-604-7157

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)

One of the most popular one-design classes in the US since the 1940’s. But fleets also exist in other parts of the world. Although originally designed for wood planked construction, nearly all boats since the early 1960’s have been built of fiberglass. Ballast above is max weight of centerboard.

Lightning Sailboat 19' build

Discussion in ' Boat Design ' started by FirstLight , Aug 21, 2012 .

FirstLight Junior Member

Have always loves this classic design from the board of Sparkman and Stevens. There's a small fleet here in our area. For a winter project I want to build one. There are several sets of offsets with the fast design that I've brought into Rhino. I'm trying to determine what the strongest\lightest build technique would be (no foam) for a one off lightning. Cold molding would seem the answer however the hard chine doesn't seem to fit the process as well. Then there is the frame method the Gougeon boys outline in their big blue bible. Any thoughts or ideas?? Cheers..  

gonzo Senior Member

Balsa planks core composite should be the lightest and stiffest. That design was made for carvel construction and has very easy lines.

I would recommend sticking with the rules, if you do not, not only will you not be allowed to sail in the races, it will not have much resale value when you are done with it. It appears there is no advantage to a lightweight build since rules require a 700 lb hull anyway. You might consider finding a used one and refurbish it, it will cost less and get you on the water faster.  

tunnels Previous Member

Are you into compatition or just playing about ?? Like has been said buy a second hand boat and refurbish it like new do a 100% strip of all and everything and scrape the paint off and respray etc etc But if the boat has a balsa cored hull you can bet 100% that it will be wet and heavy so theres you chance to do a rebuild rather than start from scratch !! To SAVE IN WEIGHT if you do a rebuild use balsa and what ever glass and then infuse it !!! will never be able to make it any lighter than that , use paints and not gelcoats Pick you glass carefully !!woven glass materials are thicker and so used more resin , differant cloths for differant uses ,also the type of glass ask and choose wisely , use epoxy resin and make sure you speak to the chemist if possible and get the strongest with a little flex . (Not all resins are born equal ). save weight every where possible . there could be raised eyebrows of you under weight but han always screw a lead block ti the middle to bring it to the minimum weight and as the boat gets older get it re weighed and change the lead block ! You not breaking the rules just bending them a little !! But, what do i know !

Lightning class plans About 20 years ago the Lightning class created a new set of plans/rules for plywood contruction. I think one boat boat was built using the WEST system. rb  

philSweet Senior Member

They are wonderful boats but you should be aware that some of the top small boat builders in the country have built these things. Expectations for a wooden hulled Lightning will be very high among class members, and not just among the elite racers. The woodies used to have a very slight rules advantage over the glass boats and most of the national champs went with woodies. There is a ballast allowance of twenty pounds on the centerline. Any extra has to be distributed elsewhere. If I recall, the object of the game is to come in exactly twenty pounds light at 680 in measurement trim and then max out the centerline ballast allowance. So basically, you assemble your rig, lines, hardware kit,CB, and rudder and weigh that. Then build the whole thing with temp fasteners and carefully weigh it again. Then take it all apart and put it together permanently after any adjustments allowing for glue and paint and fairing putty. Am I dreaming or were the old hulls all double diagonal planked on the bottom. I used to sail on one until I was five. I soloed it on the Chesapeake. My parents were more than a little annoyed I took the boat out. But all I remember was the fun I had and Mr Keck coming out and asking me to please return to the dock. Then he motored back to the dock and let me sail her in. Mr Keck gets lots of points for letting me do that and not towing me in. I've sailed on them once or twice since then. Keep all of your reciepts and document the build as you go and ask lots of questions of the association members.

Old Boat.. Guys.. Great information!!! After looking through the options and debating building from scratch I opted against it. You guys made some good points. Thank you so much. A few weeks back I picked up a 1970's Lightning for $100. I figured I would see if it was worth rebuilding to have some fun with it. I posted a new link since I am down to the outer skin in one section. I am probably crazy for giving this a shot but if all goes bad I'll have about $300 invested and that's all. And if the hull goes away I have a brand new mast, new boom, new spinnaker, good set of practice sails and about $500 in Harken hardware, a trailer in great shape and a SST centerboard. I figured I'd try removing the foam core in one area and stiffening to see what I get. Here is the link. Once again. Any and all information greatly appreciated!!!

19 ft Lightning Daysailer Sailboat

• Condition: Used
• Make: Lightning
• Location: Montclair, New Jersey, United States

Description

Lightning 13625. This was a fast boat for many years of club racing, and was once owned by Louis Nickels and has sailed in the Worlds and other championship regattas. She is beautifully balanced, and especially quick downwind,and has most of the 1980's updates. The hull is in great shape with only 2 professional repairs. There are no blisters on the bottom. The flexible mast is in good condition with one epoxy repair at the base, and the boom has been stored inside so it is practically new. The port fore deck delaminated and needs proper repair to maintain hull/deck integrity. The fiberglass/laminaterudder is in v. good shape. She has all Harken jam cleats,air blocks or bullet blocks and top quality lines. The stainless steel centerboard is raised with the drum system, and the jib downhaul isblock adjusted.

The sails are the hidden prize of this boat. All North Sails, she has two of everything: one good spinnaker and 4-year-old main and jib for everyday use, and a very recent set with only 2 seasons and brand new all-yellow spinnaker only used 3 times. She also has a 2 season old full body cover with embroidered number.

The trailer is serviceable withan original bed and self-lubricating hubs.

One sold for $11500.00 with new paint job. The others sold between $8000.00-$9000.00. This boat is ready to sail with many upgrades and $9,000 value, asking $7,500. Or Best Offer. Resent Question answerThere is not a Fulmar 19 forum per se but there is quite a bit of information on other multi-hull forums if you Google Fulmar 19. There are also some Youtube videos showing the boat under sail. These boats were built by one of the biggest, trimaran boat builders in Canada. The boat was too expensive to manufacture; so they stopped production in 1998. As far as parts availability; this boat needs nothing at this point. All the hardware used on this boat is readily available at any marine, sailing company. As far as the sail goes--they were custom made for the boat and can be easily reproduced by any sail maker.Also, the Hobie Tandem Island trimaran sail would be a direct replacement and available from any Hobie dealer.This is probably one of the easiest boats to learn to sail and has great performance. One of the greatest features is the deployable sea-leg drive. If the wind dies, you just lower the drive and pedal t three or four knots.

I have no way of loading the boat and/or trailer onto a truck bed for shipping. The transporter will need to contact me a day in advance to arrange a time.

West Wight Potter 19' Sailboat

New Port Richey, Florida

Make West Wight (International Marine)

Model Potter

This is a sturdy vessel. Orginally designed to sail the English Channel, and now produced in California you don't find these making their way to the east coast often. Boat includes trailer and is able to put in the water and sailing in less than an hour. The boat shell is a 98,. but still in great shape. Most of the items on the boat have been upgraded recently. Motor is 2 years old and has less than 50 hours on it, still in mint condition. The entire electrical system was redone last year. All lights inside and out work and were replaced at the time. Battery charger was also put in and is new. Also recently added a AUTO PILOT! Its awesome, you can just set the autopilot with the garmin GPS (also included) and lay back and sail or motor. We loved taking the boat out for a day, and even taking it to the keys and sleeping on it. Sleeps 2 comfortably, and 4 for a night or two. Hate selling it, but we bought a small business and we can't take it out like we used to. It's currently in dry storage, where it lives whenever its not sailing. No salt water damage. Great thing about this boat is its small enough to trailer, (has a retraceable keel that makes beaching possible) big enough to sleep on, easy enough for a beginner, yet strong enough for any sea's. Full foam hull so the boat is unsinkable. After purchase, if needed, I'm willing to take the new owner out to show him/her how the boat works.

Lightning sailboat rigging

• Add to quote

I recently purchased a lightning sailboat. I live in Missouri and there are no fleets that I know of. The boat is in pretty good shape except for the rigging, mainly the ropes. I have been sailing for several years and understand the basics of rigging, but I guess because this is a racing boat, it has lots of ropes and rigging I have never seen. Lot of the lines are rotten and not hooked to anything which makes it harder to replace them. I have looked online for some diagrams but never found any to help. Are there any lightning owners that I could maybe email some photos and ask a couple questions? Or does anybody have a source for a good rigging guide.

Storms Kill 18 in Southern Plains as Severe Weather Moves East

Deaths were reported in Arkansas, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Texas after powerful storms swept through. Millions of Americans were under the threat of more severe weather Sunday.

By John Yoon ,  Isabella Kwai and Johnny Diaz

Read our updated coverage of severe weather here .

Powerful storms and possible tornadoes pummeled parts of Texas, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Arkansas on Saturday night, killing at least 18 people, damaging homes and leaving hundreds of thousands without power.

The severe weather, including the threat of tornadoes, was moving east on Sunday. More than six million people were under a tornado watch through Sunday afternoon, including parts of Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee. More than 18 million people were in a wider area with an “enhanced” risk of severe weather .

In northern Texas on Saturday, a tornado left at least seven dead — including two children ages 2 and 5 — and close to 100 people injured, Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas said at a news briefing Sunday evening.

Three of those people were trapped in debris at a home, officials said. Another person died after his home was blown away.

The storm destroyed 200 structures or homes and damaged about 120 more, Mr. Abbott said.

In Oklahoma, two people were killed in the city of Pryor, northeast of Tulsa, as a result of overnight storms, the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management said on Sunday.

In Arkansas, there were eight confirmed deaths as of late Sunday night, according to Cindy Murphy, a spokeswoman for the Arkansas Department of Public Safety.

One person died in Benton County, Ark., and multiple people were injured, according to the local authorities, who said in a briefing on Sunday that the area had likely been hit by tornadoes.

A woman died in a house in Boone County, Ark., according to city officials in Harrison, Ark . A 73-year-old woman was found dead yards from where her mobile home had stood in Baxter County, Ark., the sheriff’s office said on Facebook . Two people were killed in Marion County, according to the sheriff’s office there.

The storm also left one person dead in Louisville, Ky., Mayor Craig Greenberg of Louisville said on social media .

At Lake Ray Roberts Marina in Denton County, Texas, north of Dallas, a tornado damaged boats, boat houses and a fuel dock, and overturned several recreational vehicles on Saturday.

“There is so much damage, we don’t even know where to start,” the marina said on Facebook on Sunday, noting there were no serious injuries.

Melissa and Derek Collister, who fled their house Saturday night in Valley View, Texas, just north of Denton, said their house had a damaged roof and part of the ceiling in the bathroom had caved in.

As they drove around the neighborhood on Sunday, they saw houses that were severely damaged.

“It’s from end to end,” she said. “It’s not like it went straight through the middle or anything. It’s all over.”

Rosa Perez, 48, and her husband recently moved into a house in Valley View that they have been building for six years. As the storm passed, they could feel the house moving as if it would take flight at any moment. Now her neighbor’s mobile home sits a few feet from one of their walls.

“It was rocking and hitting our house,” she said. “I’m just glad our house was there because otherwise theirs probably would have blown over.”

In Rogers County, Okla., trees and power lines were knocked down by a possible tornado, cutting off electricity and leaving some roads inaccessible, the authorities said on social media .

Power was out in Claremore, a city about 30 miles northeast of Tulsa, and would remain so “for an extended period of time,” according to the city’s police department.

As of midday Sunday in Claremore, there were 23 storm-related injuries reported. Nineteen people were taken to hospitals, three of them with possible life-threatening injuries.

“The areas of town southeast of downtown Claremore are pretty devastated,” said Billy Tomlinson, 40, a lawyer in Claremore. “Massive old trees are uprooted everywhere, others snapped like toothpicks, fallen power lines all over.”

In all, more than 440,000 customers were without power in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky and Texas on Sunday afternoon, according to the site PowerOutage.us , which tracks utilities information across the country.

The United States has come under an onslaught of destructive storms in the past week, with at least a few reports of tornadoes each day.

Five people died and part of a city was obliterated in Iowa on Tuesday after the southwestern part of the state was swallowed by a system that produced a powerful tornado that carved a 43-mile path and packed winds of at least 185 miles per hour.
