Seller's Description

“New Lower $” This Hunter sailboat with a Wing Keel is super clean and has lived it’s whole life in Fresh Water. Very lightly used throughout it’s life, too. The Gel Coat is shinny with no chalking on the hull or top side. In the last 2 years, the boat received new sails and standing rigging, including new life lines. The Main Sail is loose footed which really helps when going to weather, then when this boat goes downwind, she really kicks ass ! You never have to leave the cockpit, all lines are led aft. Another wonderful feature of the boat is the Schaffer Snap Furl Roller Furling with a 110% Head Sail.

Having a Wing Keel completes the boat’s speed and up wind abilities, plus it’s a Shoal Draft Keel at 2.25 ft. deep which is a great advantage if you find yourself in skinny water. There are so many great things about this boat, a very comfortable cockpit, a Mainsheet Traveler, Boom Vang, and 2 Reefs in the Main

Down below, the cabin has fairly good headroom with a Teak interior, small galley sink, and place to put a portable head. This boat will sleep 4 and has good ventilation with a forward hatch if you are swinging on the hook. Also the boat has great ground tackle including a Danforth Anchor, 10 ft. of chain, and 100’ of rode that lives in a Anchor Locker on the foredeck. If it gets too sunny, the boat is equipped with a Blue Bimini for the cockpit. All the canvas is in excellent condition.

To get the boat back and forth to your favorite body of water, she has a totally rebuilt Galvanized Trailer with new bearings, surge brakes, and tires. Both the boat and trailer are titled in Pennsylvania. To put the Mast up, the trailer has a Mast Raising System attachment which makes things much easier.

For safety, the boat has a USCG Safety Package. Bottom painted with Interlux VC17 This boat is “Pristine”, you won’t be disappointed when you see Her in person.

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.8 kn
Classic: 5.93 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

7.77 knots
Classic formula: 5.93 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
20.8
>20: high 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.
20.79
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
32.7
<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

32.67
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
145.5
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
145.52
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
11.4
<20: lightweight racing boat

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
11.38
<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
2.4
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising

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
2.38
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
