Thirsty Traveler was just detailed!
The engine is smooth, relatively quiet, and easily powers the boat to hull speed at about half throttle. She features a full roach, a full-batten mainsail, and a furling genoa. The main also has a lazy jacks system which makes it easy to take the main down or reef it with only one other person aboard. Hunter has made this boat easy to handle by a couple and single handling should be easy as well.
Above decks, the Hunter 336 has a large comfortable cockpit. It is nearly round and seats six to eight. It has been designed for comfort and ease of use with higher backrests, a built-in table off the pedestal, stern rail seats, and a walk-through transom for ease of boarding. The transom has two storage lockers, a stainless steel swim ladder with steps, a rub rail for protection for dinghy access, and a transom shower. A line locker in front of the companionway helps keep the cockpit neat underway. The short traveler mounted in front of the wheel doesnt give you a whole lot in the way of trim but it certainly is easy to reach the main sheet from the helm or cockpit.
The deck is cleared of most working lines or sheets by running the lines from the mast under a bridge deck and back to the cockpit. Most of the maintenance work above the decks is minimized by stainless steel handrails.
Below decks, this Hunter 336 has a light, airy look and feel. It is ideal for entertaining below with a fair amount of teak and ash accents. The cabin layout on Thirsty Traveler features an upgraded factory layout that offers an enclosed forward stateroom for family or friends.
Twin sinks are covered with cutting boards with a separate drain board. The icebox includes a hydraulic assist to keep it open while searching below. The built-in dish rack, glasses, and cup holders are all little features that bring smiles to the users.
The aft cabin offers an extra-wide queen-size berth, a hanging locker, and plenty of storage.
Equipment: Highlights include:
Autopilot Outboard Engine for a dinghy Diesel cabin heater
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)
