Seller's Description
The Hunter Passage 42 Center Cockpit is considered to be the best cruising boat Hunter ever built.
This Hunter Passage 42 is a must see vessel that has been impeccably maintained by its owner with many upgrades including up to date technology and function. Below deck you will appreciate the incredible layout, bright expansive windows, the feeling of the spacious Salon, Galley and 2 cabin layout.
Ready to cruise the Caribbean and East Coast with her impressive cockpit enclosure, 2 fridges, large freezer and heating. Loaded with easy single-handed sailing, a cruising spinnaker, custom cockpit and sunbed cushions.
This boat was never chartered and we are only the third owners. We spent the last few years in the ABC Islands refitting her a little each year to make life more comfortable. With the charging system (solar panels) and the LiFePO4 batteries, we can run regular sized 120v house fans all day and night on the boat to keep it cool, run the water maker in the morning and still have the batteries fully recharged by noon. We jokingly offer to run extension cords to our neighbors while at anchor. She also sails like a dream. We comfortably pushed 7 to 8 knots sailing from Carriacou to Curacao the entire way. However, due to health reasons, we are forced to sale and retire from sailing. We are parting with our home grudgingly and have had her in storage for the last year hoping something would change medically.
Dr’s Orders is completely fitted for living aboard with all the necessary items from a fully stocked kitchen to way too many tools and spare parts for emergencies. Just pack your clothes, if you need them, and begin sailing.

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
9.9 kn
Classic: 8.26 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
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
15.7
<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.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
32.1
<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
- Displacement/Length
-
195.4
100-200: light
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
- Comfort Ratio
-
27.8
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
- Capsize Screening
-
1.9
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages
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
