Seller's Description

Get on the water and go exploring with this modern-designed, fully-equipped, turnkey sailboat!

With a generous, modern layout, this Hunter has the interior space (and headroom!) usually found on a much larger boat. With dinette seating for 7, two double cabins, and a large aft head, you will have plenty of room to enjoy all the conveniences this boat has to offer. From the forward-facing double-sink galley and generous fridge, to the large lithium house battery bank with 120V inverter and an extended-range holding tank, this boat lets you keep exploring for longer. A diesel heater down below will take the chill off both on and off the dock.

On deck you will find a modern rig with all lines led aft to updated clutches. Roller furling up front and a new stack pack for the mainsail make for easy line and sail handling. In the cockpit, a custom shade cover keeps the sun off. At the stern there is a walkthrough transom with shower and a swim platform for easy access to the water. The included durable aluminum-hulled RIB is kept securely out of the way when not in use thanks to the davits, an unusual bonus feature for this 30-foot boat. Above the davits and bimini sits a large solar array to keep everything charged up.

Light enough to learn on, this boat is still heavy enough to keep you comfortable when a bit of weather arrives. With a modern layout and all the conveniences, she is easy to live with and a delight to sail!

The first 23 years of her life were spent on Lake Ontario with her first owner, an accomplished sailor who left behind a well thought out and equipped deck for racing and single-handing. My wife and I, the second owners, are lifelong sailors; we lovingly updated all the systems and equipment for exploration and comfortable living. This boat is fully equipped for her third owners to go out and make new memories!

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.3 kn
Classic: 6.81 kn

Hull Speed

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.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

7.34 knots
Classic formula: 6.81 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
14.5
<16: under powered

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.

Formula

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.
14.45
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
36.2
<40: less stiff, less powerful

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.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

36.2
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
272.3
200-300: moderate

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.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
272.33
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
24.4
20-30: coastal cruiser

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.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
24.41
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
2.0
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising

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.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
2.01
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
