This Texas titled Marlow-Hunter 18 is designed to serve a wide spectrum of sailors, from novices to salty veterans. This boat has only been used in fresh water.
Constructed of rugged, durable fiberglass, the Marlow-Hunter 18 opens up endless possibilities on the waters around you. The kids will learn to sail safely in the Marlow-Hunter 18 with its generous freeboard and ease of handling. Families can take daytrips in safety and comfort. Veteran sailors will appreciate the efficient hull design below the waterline, a bow hollow and hard chine make for a slippery hull that delivers stability and performance even on light air days.
Several key features make the Marlow-Hunter 18 an ideal daysailer. A seven foot beam guarantees stability and provides a clean and clutter-free cockpit. With its large main and small jib (that are brand new), the rig can be sailed by beginners and provide loads of fun for the seasoned sailor. The kick-up centerboard and swing-up rudder make landing and beaching a breeze, and the canvas cuddy unsnaps for easy bow access.
The Marlow-Hunter 18 is easy to trailer (the boats Continental Trailer, only used in fresh water, is included, upgraded with Trailer Valet TV5X Jack Dolly Dual 9” Pneumatic Tires Drive System, rig and launch, and will carry a crew of four.
This boat includes a brand new spinnaker package (Includes spinnaker sail, retractable carbon bow sprit with tube and bracket, adding even more performance). This is a fun, versatile boat for the family on the go.
The gib is protected by a Lee Sail Cover and the boat by a Mooring Cover (MOR) - Full deck over-boom cover with heavy duty nylon zipper running from the mast to the sidestay and flap that snaps over zipper to protect zipper from damaging UV sun rays.
Equipment: Aft Mast Carrier, Centerboard, Kick-up Rudder, Removable Drain Plug, Roller Furling Jib (new), Mainsail (new), Mainsail Cover, sail ties, continental trailer (freshwater use only) with mast holder, tongue jack 2inch ball, spare wheel, and upgraded with Trailer Valet TV5X Jack Dolly Dual 9” Pneumatic Tires Drive System, outboard motor mount, Rigging, Anodized Aluminum Mast and Boom, Boom vang perchance Selden, Spinnaker blocks, retractable carbon fibre bow sprit for spinnaker, outhaul in boom system, 1 reefing point, Cunningham, spinnaker halyard, mainsail halyard, boom topping lift, North dacron mainsail, North dacron jib, North asymmetrical spinnaker, Mainsail bag, spinnaker bag, Jib cover, boat cover.
Im also including: - Lee Sail Jib Cover - Boat by a Mooring Cover (MOR) - Full deck over-boom cover with heavy duty nylon zipper running from the mast to the sidestay and flap that snaps over zipper to protect zipper from damaging UV sun rays - ARKSEN 49 Inch Heavy Duty Aluminum All Purpose Underbody Lock Storage with Side Handle and Key Set Silver - Cobra MR HH350 FLT Handheld Floating VHF Radio 6 Watt, Submersible, Noise Cancelling Mic, Backlit LCD Display, NOAA Weather, Memory Scan, Grey - Sirius Signal C-1003 SOS LED Flare Electronic Visual Distress Signal Kit with Daytime Distress Flag and Whistle - CG Approved - Two Stearns Adult Classic Series Vest, 3000001412, Red, 2 Universal - Master Lock - Universal Size Fits 1-7/8”, 2”, and 2-5/16” Couplers - Trailer Locks - Seachoice 44940 Emergency Marine Foam Flotation Cushion, Square, 15-Inch x 15-Inch, Red - Attwood 11828-1 Emergency 20-inch to 42-inch Telescoping Paddle for Boating, Orange
Finally, Im also accepting offers for a Torqueedo Travel electric outboard featuring a powerful lithium-ion battery and built-in on-board computer with GPS. This reliable and powerful electric motor with direct drive ensures dynamic responsiveness, is unsurpassed in its efficiency and remains incredibly quiet (costed me $2,513).
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)
