1999 Hunter 290

Expired
$27,000 USD

Seller's Description

If you are ready to sail, she’s ready to go! Designed and Built by Hunter Marine, USA, this popular Hunter model blends a modern rig and hull design with an enormous interior. You will not find a larger interior on any production-built yacht under 30 feet.

In fact, the whole vessel tricks you into believing you have a much larger yacht from the sugar scoop open transom with swim platform, to the stainless steel cockpit targa (arch) with bimini and mainsheet mount; cockpit table, quarter seats and wheel steering; separate private head; nav table, chart plotter and autopilot; and even a microwave. Dragonfly is the shallow draft version Hunter 290 with a wing keel, drawing only 3’ 10”. Perfect for exploring the Chesapeake Bay and all of the surrounding waterways without compromising stability. Other inclusions to complete the Dragonfly package: Permanent stainless steel targa (and when equipped with a Bimini it is HUGE!) 18hp Yanmar 2GM20F diesel engine Great electronics package including chart plotter, autopilot, VHF radio, wind/depth/speed with an upgraded transducer (water temp) Lovely teak interior with all upholstery in very good condition Hot and cold water, 40 gallon fresh water supply, large separate head (with holding tank) and hot shower. This is a serious pocket cruiser that thinks she?s a 40 footer! Great to handle, she has the flexibility to go where you want, when you want. Dragonfly will suit many cruising couples or families - she offers a lot in this price range. Be quick and contact Ed at 410-708-0633 to arrange an inspection in Rock Hall, MD.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.7 kn
Classic: 6.95 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

8.69 knots
Classic formula: 6.95 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.9
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.
16.85
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
34.5
<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

34.47
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
169.1
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
169.06
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
17.5
<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
17.49
<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
2.21
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Wing Keel version: draft = 3.5’.
