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

8.12 knots
Classic formula: 6.45 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.8
16-20: good 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.
16.83
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
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

43.46
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
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
165.29
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
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
15.83
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
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
2.16
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Water ballast model.(Water stays in place for sailing and pumped out for trailering.)
Replaced by the HUNTER 260 which is very similar.
