For Sale: Windrider 17 in very good shape Year 2003 $6850.00 Ponchatoula LA I am selling because we have purchased another, bigger boat. Includes 1. ALUMINUM trailer with good tires 2. New lights on trailer 3. Custom mast raising system. You can raise and set the mast with 1 person 4. 1 paddle 5. Folding anchor, chain, and rode 6. Sails in great shape 7. Roller furling jib 8. Power panel for USB and cigarette lighter plugs 9. Compass 10 Custom Windfisher deck for tent 11. Gazelle tent for Windfisher deck 12. Custom 2-man tent to cover center cockpit for sleeping in center cockpit 13. 2 RAM 1 balls for mounting GPS, camera, ETCGPS and camera NOT included 14. Sail cover, covers the sail when it is still on the mast 15. I had a sail maker re-stich the trampolines. The material will last forever. The stitching they used has problems. That is why I had them re-stitched with better material. 16. Hard AND soft cockpit covers 17. Motor mount 18. 2HP air cooled 4 stroke HONDA motor. About 20 hours on motor. Starts up 1-2 pulls every time. Uses gallon of gas per hour at throttle pushing the boat at about 4.5-5kts 19. Have titles for boat and trailer 20. Tiller tamer for rudder 21. Lazy Jack system, holds the boom and sail off the deck when the sail is lowered
This boat is ready to sail. It needs nothing. If someone needs some lessons, I will be glad to take you out to get you familiar with the boat, stepping the mast, etc. after purchase. I can have you sailing in this easy to sail boat in about 15 minutes.
I do not have to sell the boat. Dont bother will crazy low ball offers.

Calculations

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

28.3
>20: high performance
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
- ?
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
- ?
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
- ?
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
-
7.0
>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
Notes
Beam on trailer: 8.5’
Trimaran w/fixed keel.
