General condition and any additional information
Motivated to sell before winter!
Standard features
1996 Hunter Legend 37.5 in great condition, one of the last ones produced. It is a standard production built sloop sailboat with a deep fin keel, spade rudder and a deck stepped mast. Her interior offers a full galley to port side aft and a large quarter-berth aft cabin that sleeps two. A Navigation/Chart table on the starboard side with the main AC/DC Power control panel. The galley features twin deep well double stainless steel sinks, a three burner LP gas stove with oven, and full refrigeration and an 1-2 cu. ft ice box. There is a large dinette table that converts to a double berth and additional seating on the port side. A walk in head with manual flush toilet (with 35 gal “blackwater tank” and macerator for off-shore), handheld shower on the starboard side. There is adequate storage thru out the vessel including hanging clothes lockers and storage drawers. The V-berth is large with a top side opening hatch. The interior Teak woodwork as well as teak holly sole. She comes with a 16,000 BTU A/C-Heat convertor that was improved in 2017 with new digital board and upgrade to coolant, a new air blower in 2015, which supplies ample heat and cooling throughout the cabin. DC fans have been installed in all cabins to aide in air flow and lights have been upgraded to LED to increase power efficiency. She comes equipped with a partial battened main sail, and a Harken roller furling unit with a 135% Genoa with UV Panel. She has auxiliary power with a Yanmar 3JH2E diesel engine (34 HP). Perfectly set up for coastal cruising or casual sailing. Purchased in 2010 and initially used for day sailing and racing, then full-time cruising up and down the U.S. East Coast for 3 years. Two anchors…primary is a Bruce, secondary is a Danforth Fluke. This vessel has all running rigging run back to the cockpit and all sails can be raised/adjusted from within the cockpit! The vessel is designed so it can be operated off-shore or coastal sailing, single-handedly. Best features: sturdy/safe sailboat, has a 360 degree walk-around from galley, thru head to aft cabin, back to galley around companionway and enclosed engine compartment! She has 360 degree access to engine from all sides, as well as full access to the top of engine, making maintenance on the engine much easier. Special manufactured spacer on secondary fuel filter mount, allows for easy removal/replacement.
Extra gear included
2007 Achilles 11.5 inflatable dinghy and Honda 4-stroke 5 hp outboard. Forespar whisker pole 13.5’
Other equipment included; all tools included for maintenance and operation, PFD’s, safety flares, 3 Fire extinguishers (more than required), dishes/plates, pans, silverware, etc. Other upon request.
2018 Survey available upon request.
Improvements to the hull, deck, rigging, engine, or interior
New 2014 Dacron mainsail and new 2014 forestay with Harken rolling furler. GARMIN GPS with XM radio Raymarine autopilot 3-blade Flexofold prop Dodger and bimini added 2011 and full screen enclosure with interchangeable screen/clear Strataglass panels added 2017. Dinghy davits added 2017. Five West Marine Glasmat batteries (one reserved for starting, four for powering DC components on-board), replaced in September 2017 and barely used.
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)
