Have you wanted to move up to the F18 class but couldn’t justify the price? Were you waiting for an F18 for sale at the right price so you could dip your toe in and try one out? Maybe you wanted to start a two boat program since one boat just doesn’t fit when the family wants to come along. Either way, your boat has arrived. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to step up from a smaller Hobie. I am selling a very functional 2001 Hobie Tiger that is in fair to good condition. It is a fresh water boat that has done one Roton Point Multihull Regatta and then rinsed vigorously. It became boat No. 2 in the fleet after purchasing an F16 four seasons ago. It has been very lightly used and always well covered with sails stored inside. The boat includes a main sail and roller furling jib but no spinnaker sail. The boat does include all other equipment (including spinnaker pole w/ mid-pole snuffer) to go sailing today. The boat is being sold without a trailer, so can help with transport within a reasonable distance. I have plenty of photos, so please let me know if you need more or have questions.
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
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
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
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
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
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 Beam1.33)
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)
Originally designed to Formula 18 rule. (twin trap.)
First built in France.
Introduced in USA in 2001.
No longer in production for sale in US.
