Seller's Description
Sell my baby?
After 25 years we decided to sell our 1995 Hunter 26.
We’re tired & have only been out on the boat twice this year.
I’m thinking now is a better time to sell than early spring when it’s on a trailer.
It has the original 9.9 hp Evinrude that always starts on the second pull, a furling jib and of course the main sail.
Everything works fine.
It’s been almost two years since I’ve painted the bottom.
And yes, this is the boat that hosted the Colts cheerleaders for the 2000 calendar pic!
I think we need a reunion!
I know there are people out there that would be on this boat every week and will have a ton of fun while I have other interests closer to home.
Also included: New compass to be installed as original compass is looking old, many lifejackets, head, mast raising pole, newer stern rail grill, new grill fry pan to keep grill clean, 8 month old Bimini cover & seat covers.
The boat as a full head with sink.
Trailer is on site with the boat.
To do - One window leaks a bit, usually only when boat is on trailer for winter. (See pic, I tape a plastic bag over the window for the winter) The new compass needs to be installed as the original is looking old.
Equipment: The bottom might need to be painted again in 18 months (a few hours of not fun but I have a trick!) Two sleeping cushions down below are fine but becoming brittle.
Recently I’ve noticed a couple of visible sail seam tears?
Let me know & we can go take a look at the boat in the slip at Eagle Creek reservoir.

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
8.1 kn
Classic: 6.45 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
-
16.8
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
-
43.5
>40: stiffer, more 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
-
165.3
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
-
15.8
<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
Notes
Water ballast model.(Water stays in place for sailing and pumped out for trailering.)
Replaced by the HUNTER 260 which is very similar.
