Seller's Description

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

Hull: She has been trailer-kept and overall lightly used, so hull is in fine condition (not a single blister) and the white color you see is her original gel coat (not paint).

Calculations

Hull Speed
9.9 kn
Classic: 8.26 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

9.9 knots
Classic formula: 8.26 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.2
16-20: good 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.
16.23
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
31.9
<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

31.93
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
193.7
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
193.74
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
27.6
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
27.58
<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
1.95
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
