Seller's Description

Beautiful 1978 Hunter sailboat that I bought 5 years ago from the Santa Monica Sail Foundation. I restored her and did a lot of work and live aboard in a new, very nice marina in Marina Del Rey. Passed live aboard inspection. I’m buying a larger boat and in no hurry to sell mine since it’s a great boat and I’m not in a tight situation so feel free to check it out and contact me if you would like to take a look or make a reasonable offer.

She has the following work that has been done: Cast iron hatches replaced both with lexan, new electric marine head (west marine), all new plumbing, new holding tank (20 gal) new water tank (40 gal) new faucets in both bathroom and galley, some new electrical, good working bilge pump and check valve, all woodwork / stain redone, sails (traditional) are used but in good shape (power washed) some new running rigging, standing rigging in good shape, anchor is new, chain and line, safety equipment, build a bed frame in salon that can be slid out for access to tanks, nice blue canvas tarp. Deck has been re-caulked so she’s tight.

Work needed: Nisson 2 stroke 9.8 outboard runs great. I use it for propulsion the inboard is a 32 yanmar that needs to be remounted (runs- mechanic at SM Sail Foundation attests) and re-aligned w thru hull to prop shaft. I used the boat with just the outboard. Rudder and steering work fine. I have a monthly dive service for the past 5 years very clean bottom a few small blisters but nothing major. Paint job was 5 yrs ago gelcoats good on top but you might want to get a bottom job again. Any other questions please feel free to contact me.

Equipment: Fire extinguisher, some life vests, safety ring, compass, sail cover, shade tarp, dock lines, port, starboard jib sheets, prosper 12 inverter, battery, VHF Radio.

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.7 kn
Classic: 7.34 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

7.72 knots
Classic formula: 7.34 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
16.7
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.
16.66
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
38.5
<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

38.48
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
294.7
275-350: heavy

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
294.7
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
31.6
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising 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
31.63
<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
1.8
<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
1.81
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Shoal draft: 4’/1.2m
