Upon the introduction of the Hunter Passage 42 Cruising World provided a review by Quentin Warren which included the following:
“When Hunter Marine introduced their voluminous new Passage 42 at the Annapolis Boat Show last fall, it was pick-a-number-and-stand- in-line for the non-stop throng of curious onlookers who came to see what the latest word in floating amenities was all about. Hunter had announced that they were taking “a bold step into the center cockpit arena with a striking new design.”
Quentin then added:
“We sailed the Passage 42 in a steady 20 knots of breeze and found the boat to be controllable and maneuverable, likely a dividend of the large balanced rudder positioned well aft and the efficiency of her wing keel”
Bleu Belle is a one of a kind turnkey boat. She has like new sails and running rigging, plus a completely new standing rigging; and a long list of upgrades. She is easy to manage while under sail and the 2006 (75 HP) Turbo Yanmar (1500 hrs) coupled to an Autostream feathering prop is an excellent combination while under power. The Maxwell electric windlass along with a new G-4 chain and 8 plait anchor rode connected to a 45lb Lewmar CQR anchor provides for secure anchoring.
Bleu Belle is spacious, warm and comfortable below. With Sunbrella reupholstery, the salon is perfect for dining or entertaining the crew. The fully equipped galley includes a new microwave, a Trident controlled propane stove with oven; plus ample storage capacity. Privacy was certainly a major consideration for the designers who contemplated extended cruising. Two staterooms, each with an electric head provides comfort and privacy. The master stateroom offers a queen-size walk around berth, storage and hanging lockers. The adjoining full head even has a shower-tub. The forward guest quarters has a full-size berth, desk vanity and adjoining head. The 8kw Onan Genset provides much appreciated creature comfort

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)
