Manufacturer Provided Description Using the lessons learned from over 20 years of sailboat designing, Warren Luhrs and the Hunter Design Team created the Hunter 29.5 to be comfortable, easy to sail, and to have style. The Hunter 29.5 is built to the high level of Hunter standards approved by the NMMA (National Marine Manufacturers Association), manufactured with strict standards of structural integrity in mind. Sail design incorporates a large-roach, fully-battened mainsail along with a small roller furling jib for easy sail-handling. Swept back spreaders and outboard shrouds allow superior strength and eliminates the need for a backstay. For easy sail-handling, the boat comes with self-tailing winches, line organizers and triple rope clutches. The slippery but stable hull design incorporates a bulb wing keel and spade rudder. The cockpit provides great control, visibility and is a prime location when entertaining. Below deck are all the amenities that Hunter is famous for. Two double berths, a huge dinette, full galley and enclosed head with shower, all trimmed in rich fabrics and warm teak. Race, cruise, entertain, and do them all well. The Hunter 29.5 is the perfect combination of performance and comfort. The Hunter 29.5 comes with the Cruise Pac as standard equipment. It isn’t just sails, winches, and running rigging. It’s an extensive list of things like galley, anchor, fire extinguisher, running lights, life jackets - even a copy of Chapman’s Piloting, Seamanship, and Small Boat Handling. And Hunter backs its boats with a five-year limited hull and bottom blister warranty.

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
8.7 kn
Classic: 6.96 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
-
17.0
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
-
35.7
<40: less stiff, less 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
-
170.1
100-200: light
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
-
18.1
<20: lightweight racing boat
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
-
2.2
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
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
