Seller's Description

2007 Hunter 38 ‘AHOY MON’ Asking 55k

The Hunter 38 features a fine entry and near-plumb-bow that are as racy as any new boat from Farr Yacht Designs. Due to her increased waterline, she won?t lack speed. There?s also just enough working space between the mast and bow pulpit for a bow person to attend to sails or muscle an anchor fitted on a stainless steel bow roller at the stem. Her small foretriangle and 7/8ths rig are married to a boom that extends over the stainless bimini frame to produce end-boom sheeting angles that are more efficient than a cabintop arrangement.

When viewed from abeam at a distance, her profile complements the racy bow as she presents a high-aspect sail plan and a relatively flat sheerline. Tinted, flushmounted, fixed plexiglass ports complement her aesthetics and light her interior. This model is less chubby than her cousins and shows in her performance.

This particular Hunter 38 ?AHOY MON? was dis-masted and blown ashore during Hurricane Dorian in Abaco, Bahamas. The mast is in 2 pieces and can be spliced and will be included in the deal.

-Dinghy davits and Bimini frame are damaged but the boom traveller bar is in good shape.

-The deck has a decent size crack from dis-masting, needing some fiberglass repairs (see photos)

-Some minor cracks in the bilge around the keel, need re-tabbing. -Port midship has damage and cleat torn off, needs localized fiberglass repair.

-The interior is undamaged for the most part, electrical systems, electronics, mechanical, steering all in good functioning condition.

-The Yanmar 40hp engine is in very good condition. Hours are unknown but the engine is in great shape and the owner says the oil is clean.

-Mainsail needs small repair, Genoa and spinnaker in good condition.

-Boat can be lived on and motored away immediately to complete repairs elsewhere.

Undamaged Value $100-125k Asking $55k ‘As Is’

Calculations

Hull Speed
9.4 kn
Classic: 7.89 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

9.42 knots
Classic formula: 7.89 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
22.8
>20: high 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.
22.8
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
33.4
<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

33.41
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
196.4
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
196.35
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
26.1
20-30: coastal cruiser

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
26.06
<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
2.0
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

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
1.96
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
