With interior and cockpit space that rivals that of much larger boats, this Hunter 29.5 masthead sloop is a terrific all-around weekend escape pod.
Eliminating some of the usual interior features of other boats of the era, such as a chart table (the dining table will suffice) and cabin-dividing bulkheads, and including others rarely seen, such as the wrap-around seating, the interior is open, bright, airy and spacious.
The large beam aft combined with a high cockpit floor gives generous clearance over the aft berth, which is set across the boat, over seven feet wide, and should easily accommodate the largest of couples.
Another benefit of this layout is a huge cockpit, rivaling that of much larger boats and including a molded-in swim platform and external (legal) propane storage locker, and by using swept spreaders the need for a backstay has also been eliminated, so moving about the cockpit and boarding are virtually unrestricted.
The galley has a large icebox, stove, and microwave, plenty of storage, the pressurized water system has a hot water heater, and the owner will include the portable air conditioner, which works very well, in the sale.
So, if you are looking for an up-to-date, clean, capable sailing vessel with plenty of room for the family and friends for a day or weekend, this might be just the ticket.
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)
The MOORINGS 295 is based on this same design.
