The owner bought this boat in 1993
General condition and any additional information
Always sailed in fresh water: Lake George, NY, Champlain Canal and since 1996, fresh water Hudson River.
Standard features
1986 Hunter 28.5 in good condition; Harrstick (Rochester, NY) aftermarket sails: main, 100% jib, 153% genoa, spinnaker, storm jib, spare main (original equipment); B and R mast (double spar), Windex and VHF antenna; pressurized hot and cold water (30-gallon tank); galley with two-burner alcohol stove, ice box, sink, Jabsco marine head, newly rebuilt and 20-gallon holding tank, sink, shower, aft sleeping berth, forward v-berth, folding dining table, 6 ft headroom; Yanmar model 26M20F 2-cylinder 18 HP diesel auxiliary engine with folding propeller installed, and original, spare two-bladed propeller; 4 ft. shoal fin keel; knot meter, depth meter, Sony FM radio/CD player. Easy to sail single handed with all lines leading to the cockpit; stable and fast. Can be seen dockside in Athens, NY from May to October, otherwise at Coeymans Landing Marina in Coeymans, NY, by appointment.

Improvements to the hull, deck, rigging, engine, or interior
Aftermarket Haarstik (Rochester, NY) sails, replacement Jabsco marine head rebuilt May 2017, folding propeller (see photo), radio/CD player, new mainsail and spinnaker halyards, new mainsail traveler, galley spice shelf, replacement V-berth hatch and main cabin hatch.
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)
Shoal draft/wing keel: 4’/1.21m
