Seller's Description

The owner bought this boat in 2007

General condition and any additional information

S/V Talisa is a rare find, the owner purchased the boat almost new and used her very lightly indeed intending to go long term cruising on retirement. But plans have changed and you can benefit from a boat that has been extensively upgraded and is still in almost pristine condition.

Hunter only made 160 or so of these sought after Centre Cockpit models and only decided to cease manufacturing them as they were costing too much to build!

This was Hunters flagship model and there was no compromise in specification, Lewmar geared steering and hatches, Selden spars, Side Power thusters and top of the range Raymarine electronics.

The 45CCs party piece is the queen island berth in the aft stateroom complete with sprung interior memory foam mattress for a great nights sleep. Also featuring a large walk in separate shower stall and dressing table, this makes a terrific boat for a cruising couple.

The saloon is bright and airy with huge headroom where you can listen to the Bose sound system or watch a movie on the large screen TV.

With the furling main and all lines led to the cockpit, she is easily handled by two people (even single handing wouldnt be a problem).

The boat is in Deltaville, VA and can be viewed by arrangement.

Standard features

Talisa has the Hunter Mariner package, so she has furling mainsail, uprated engine (75HP), Twin air conditioning units, 3 burner stove and Bose entertainment system.

She is also fitted with a Side Power bow thruster.

Other standard features fitted by Hunter include : Microwave / Coffee maker Inverter FP Generator with graphic panel Oil Xchangr oil pump 2kW Radar Engine room auto extinguisher

Rare dark blue AwlGrip hull makes her look really special

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.0 kn
Classic: 6.5 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

7.0 knots
Classic formula: 6.5 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
13.1
<16: under powered

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.
13.08
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
31.3
<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

31.25
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
273.2
200-275: moderate

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
273.24
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
23.5
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
23.45
<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
1.98
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

High performance version of the HUNTER 27-3.
