Once in a while one comes across a boat that has had the benefit of three years of TLC, upgrades, and repairs at an affordable sail-away price. Our Hunter 31 is that boat. I am providing the full and comprehensive detail on this boat so you have the benefit of learning what Santosha has experienced since we bought her in 2017.
We are a family of four and bought her to cruise the Columbia River. We have enjoyed many fine memories aboard Santosha, which means its all good” in Sanskrit. We bought her in a state of neglect, but we loved her racy lines, ample head room (we are both 62), loads of storage, and amenities on board. We carefully began the work of bringing her up to snuff.
Santosha is a sloop rigged, fin keel sailboat, equipped with a 16hp Yanmar auxiliary diesel, furling headsail, and mainsail with lazy jack system. Additionally the boat has a CNG galley and a hot-water heater driven by hot-water from the engine or shore power. All lines run aft to the cockpit and she is easily sailed single handed from the cockpit and is a pleasure to sail for the new or experienced sailor.
There’s definitely a big-boat feel once you go below on Santosha. Headroom is 6 feet 3 inches in the spacious saloon. Santoshas V-berth sleeps two adults. The head with sink and toilet is just outside the V-berth and fitted with a privacy door that doubles as a V-berth door as well. The overall layout is social, with a U-shaped galley to starboard that allows the cook to converse or otherwise take part in the goings on. The galley has a two-burner stove, sink and a deep fridge and small freezer. It is abutted by a dinette that seats four. The salon table drops down to form another double berth. The port side features a settee (single bunk if needed) and full navigation station with chart table and light. The aft cabin is roomy and generous for two adults with storage in the transom area too. Teak paneling warms the saloon and other bulkheads. Plentiful windows provide light and cross ventilation.

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)
