Coming Soon! Reluctantly for sale: Easy to trailer weekend cruiser “Grace.” Lovingly restored, turn-key condition. Truly ready to launch for your overnight getaway. Easy trailering, easy sailing, and shallow water are her specialties - can access places where the big boys can’t go, with only 18” draft with CB up (5’6” fully deployed). We’ve sailed her locally on the ICW (stopping for swimming & picnics on the islands, no dinghy req.); & all over the Florida Keys both bayside & ocean side, sailing her both by day and by night.
Featuring: Easy mast raising system with removable “baby stays” Water ballast (adds 1,000 lbs.) Furling Jib No back stay Spacious cockpit Walk through transom Swim ladder
Completely Restored Hunter Trailer w new seaboard on bunks.
“The stern is very broad and draft is only 18 inches with the board up. The rig is a simple single spreader affair without permanent backstay. Note that the spreaders are well swept aft…. “
“The water ballast tank is filled at the time of launching by simply removing a plug, and then replacing it in a couple minutes when the tank is full. When you haul the boat out, you simply remove the plug again and the water drains within two min., leaving you with a 2,000-pound boat to trailer.
“Down below, the 23.5 is a big 23-footer. Actually the LOA is 23.66 feet. There are V-berth forward, a short settee to port, a full-length settee berth to starboard, a huge double quarter-berth and a small galley. The portable head is located under the V-berth and the portable ice chest fits under the port settee.” (Bob Perry, Sailing Magazine)
Kick-up rudder compliments Centerboard for shallow water navigation

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)
