Boat is located in Bloomington, Indiana.
Are you ready to sell all of your possessions and set sail for the open blue water Well this probably isnt the sailboat for you, but if you are looking for a great cruiser/racer/weekender then let me offer you the Eastern Cross.
Always sailed on fresh water and stored on the included tandem axle galvanized trailer through the off season, this 1997 Hunter 26 is in fine condition for being 23 years young.
The Eastern Cross is a great boat for both beginners and veteran sailors as you intimately feel the wind and the water with the tiller in one hand and the mainsheet in the other.
The retractable keel allows sailing in shallow waters and easy beach access.
Retracting the keel also allows the boat to sit low on the trailer and she has a water ballast for lightweight towing.
The cabin below deck is spacious, comfortable and uncluttered with freshly re-upholstered bow and dinette cushions and a large removable dining table that easily seats six.
The interior is by far the largest of any boat in its class.
The galley has a sink with pump faucet, alcohol stove, counter and storage space and a specific enclosure for a large ice chest.
The head is completely enclosed with vanity, sink, wet locker and brand new never used portable toilet.
Each area is well lighted with ceiling fixtures and ventilation throughout.
This super fun and easy to sail boat comes with all the standard equipment Hunter offered in 1997 plus CDI Flexible Furler for the headsail, a mainsail cover, spinnaker with bag and an 8hp Tohatsu outboard engine.
She is currently in a slip on Lake Monroe in Bloomington, IN which has been paid for through the remainder of the 2020 season.
Current NADA for this boat with trailer and accessories is over 17,000.00.
Contact me to have a look or for a test sail.
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)
Water ballast model.(Water stays in place for sailing and pumped out for trailering.)
Replaced by the HUNTER 260 which is very similar.
