Check out this 2008 Com-Pac SunCat 17. A very nice little daysailer sailboat with a trailer. This boat is the perfect size for a day on the lake with your family. Has room for 4 adults in the cockpit. Sleeps 2 people in the cabin and has a porta-potty in the cabin.
This boat is a very stable sailboat. The wide beam and shape of the hull make this one so stable. This is also easy for one person to sail. To set up after putting in the water only takes 15 minutes. The mast is already attached-all you do is pop it up and raise the sail. The boat features a 2008 Tohatsu 6 HP 4-stroke outboard tiller motor.
The cabin has 2 ports and a porta-potty. Aft seating for 6. VHF marine radio and antenna. 12-volt battery. Cushions inside and cockpit cushions.
Best of all, the SunCat sails really well. It is also very stable and moves easily into a choppy sea.
The trailer is in good condition with a single axle and easy to trailer.
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)
A daysailer model (without the cuddy/cabin) is also available.
