Seller's Description
I ran a marina in Grenada, West Indies, & can say from experience that very few boats are ready to go on sea adventures like Lodka.
Much love & work has gone into this classic 1978 Hunter Cherubini.
The engine runs tip top with no issues & is serviced regularly.
Lodka is kept clean, cared for & maintained reguarly - she’s ready to sail at a moment’s notice.
She comes with her tender, a spacious, rigid hard-bottom, inflatable 11ft dingy w/15hp Yamaha HP Enduro outboard.
Lodka is a dry boat, no leaks, even through the rainy season in Rio!
This spunky-sailing treasure is roomy & cozy for a 30ft vessel, ideal for one or couple but can accommodate up to 6 people.
She’s great for sailing in shallower waters w/her 4ft draft, allowing you to reach spots easily that make other monohulls jealous.
She was completely renovated in 2018-2019 & is also now winterized. The roof & mast saddle were opened to be reenforced in fiber (no more balsa wood), aluminum davits base & roof-hull junction redone, new windows (better than original), hatches refurbished, rigging checked (new stay), anti-skid paint, new deck teak wood & cockpit table, new gel coat, bottom barrier coat anti-fouling (Jotun). Inside, new wooden floor & all closets repainted when not furbished w/beige marine carpet. Also new bed foam for bow cubby & salon.
The only reason we are selling Lodka is that we acquired a larger vessel fit for sailing with three big dogs.
If you’re looking for a boat & dinghy that will have you out sailing right away, look no further than this much-loved, fun & fast, shallow-draft beauty & live out a sailing fantasy that doesn’t require the usual investment, time & sweat almost any boat you’re looking at will inevitably need.
Happy to answer inquiries! We hope you find what you’re looking for and, unlike so many hopeful sailors still sitting in harbor or on the hard ‘getting her ready to go’, actually get out on the open water.
Current Delaware registration!

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
7.5 kn
Classic: 6.8 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
-
15.9
<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
-
42.3
>40: stiffer, more 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
-
253.5
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
- Comfort Ratio
-
25.0
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
Notes
Shoal draft: 4.3’.
A keel/cb version was also available.

Total (100% main +fore.): 467.38 ft2/43.42 m2
