Andante – 26 foot Hunter Sailboat with trailer for SALE We are parting with our 1995 Hunter sailboat and trailer after 15 years of amazing sailing. We have trailered her to different launch points all over Puget Sound, Canadian Gulf Islands, Desolation Sound, and mountain lakes. She’s been a great boat, in fact we’ve stayed on her as long as three weeks comfortably. When we’re not sailing her she is stored in a pole building out of the weather. Sails are in great shape with a furling jib and the mainsail has extra reinforcing at all stress points (provided by North Sails) and easily reefed for heavy weather sailing (believe me, we have been!). Sail covers to keep the sails out of the sun are included. The boat is designed to be extremely forgiving – if you find yourself in heavy wind with too much sail up, she will round to wind without danger of capsizing. We’ve upgraded many of her features from the standard model. We’ve added stern seats, bimini and dodger, upped her tankage (20 gallons water and 12 gallons fuel) and installed an on demand pressurized water system in both galley and head. Private standup head and galley are very functional, especially for a boat this size. We added shore power last summer to make topping up the battery bank easy, and added 110v outlets on board. Electronics include expanded electrical panel from standard, upgraded battery bank with two deep cell golf cart batteries, VHF radio, depth sounder, fish finder (includes bottom profile, water temp., and boat speed), Garmin GPS, mp3 compatible stereo with inside and outside speakers, and solar panel for recharging battery bank. Trailer has also been upgraded with all new LED lights and new brakes in 2015. 2000# water ballast tank, swing keel, and mast stepping system make this boat easy to trailer and set up ready to sail in 45 minutes. We just purchased a lightly used four stroke 9.9HP outboard motor with less than 150 hours (the original owner had an hour meter installed at the dealer). There are two props, one for slow speeds for trolling and a more aggressive prop that moves the boat nicely while stingy on fuel. The motor also has a charging system for keeping the battery bank fully charged. This makes cruising in the San Juans or Canadian Gulf Islands easy and comfortable. We have her original owner’s manual. Call us at 503-826-1737 (home) or 503-320-1015 (cell) to view.
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)
Water ballast model.(Water stays in place for sailing and pumped out for trailering.)
Replaced by the HUNTER 260 which is very similar.
