2000 COMPAC SUNCAT WITH TRAILER
THE GOOD: This is a super fun boat that trailers well and sets up in minutes with the Mastendr mast raising system. Hull is sound with no soft spots and everything works as it should. Sail, Canvas and Upholstery are original and in good shape. Trailer has new hubs, tires and trailer tongue. I have boat title in hand. THE BAD: I don’t have time to sail it AND my kids have gotten to the age where they would rather go fast than be with Mom and Dad on a relaxing cruise. Its a bummer, man. THE UGLY: See photos. Hull is faded. It will buff out nicely, but it ain’t shiny now. The rub rail has cracks along its entirety. I bought the original replacement from Compac last year and have not taken the time to replace it. The gas locker needs re-glassed. When underway, some water that comes in to the cockpit goes to the bilge because of the this. Its a common problem on older Suncats. I have the fiberglass kit to replace it. Again no time to do it. Hatchboards are tired. They work and keep the cabin dry, but I’d replace them for looks. Although sail is in good condition, I would send it to Sailrite or similar to have it cleaned and refurbed.

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)
