The 2007 SL16 Catamaran has the simplicity of a Hobie 16 without daggerboards, especially when used without a spinnaker, but it has a much higher quality mainsail and a more efficient sail plan, as well as adjustable mast rotation and adjustable mainsail downhaul while trapezing, i.e. all the adjustments of the newest and fastest cat designs. Double trapeze set up, with upgrade to vectran trapeze lines, instead of more abrasive and dangerous wire. The hulls and all rigging are in very good condition and the boat comes with 2 sets of Mylar Main and Mylar Jib sets, and a very lightly used asymmetrical spinnaker in great shape. One Main/Jib set is in excellent condition, the other is in good condition. Two tramps are included, one is in excellent condition, the other is in good condition as shown. Also have two sets of rudders, all are in very good condition. The SL16 fully rigged weighs 320 pounds and is one of the fastest 16 foot catamarans ever produced without daggerboards, Portsmouth .73. This rating is faster than a Nacra 500 and nearly the same as a Hobie 18, but with far less weight. It is great for Portsmouth racing, or casual and higher performance recreational sailing while still the same size and weight of a Hobie 16, and with a 148 sf mainsail, 40 sf jib, and 183 sf spinnaker, the boat can be sailed singlehand with the main and jib much easier than a Hobie 16. Quick pin adjustable width Cat Trax Beachwheels with cradles and a detachable 8 foot long aluminum handle in good condition are included. NOTE: I don’t have photos of the boat with the orange spinnaker in use; the 3 high quality photos with an orange spinnaker are an identical boat in every aspect, but not the boat I’m selling.Optional 2002 Trailex Aluminum Custom Double Stack Trailer is also available for $1400. Trailer is in very good condition and is specifically set up to accommodate up to two catamarans on the upper deck if one of them is disassembled. The trailer has double rollers aft and cradles forward on the lower rack, and it can be easily adjusted or modified to carry any make and size of catamaran(s), kayaks, small monohulls, etc. It has bearing buddies installed and the best 12 inch tires available on galvanized rims, 145R12 radials, 80PSI, Load Range E. It also includes a sail tube and storage box, both lockable. Boat and trailer are located on South Bass Island, at Put-in-Bay, Ohio. This is a great 16 foot boat and high quality rust free trailer, each are priced to sell.Call or text me at 513-295-7654 for more information.
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)
