Seller's Description
1995 Hunter 26 Sailboat and trailer. Freshwater boat until this year. Lightweight with fiberglass swing keel and water ballast. Mast can be easily raised and lowered single handed with included gin pole. Can float in 2 feet of water for easy beach access. Sleeps 4 adults easily. Has wider cabin than most sailboats this size due to no walkways, as you walk over top of boat to get to front. Has onboard battery charger and shore power cord. No head, but separate room for port a potty. Upgrading to larger boat. Has 8 hp Tohatsu with remote throttle and gear selector. Everything works great and ready to sail. Has roller furler and Harkin roller on main. 2 winches. See pictures for specifications. Trailer is in good shape ready to pull. Has extendable tongue for ease of launch. Not quite 6 ft headroom but has sliding sunroof and pop up top. Has alcohol stove and 2 sinks. Bimini top on back. Anchor storage up front. No leaks. Has spinnaker sail also. Has never had bottom paint as was freshwater boat, always trailered until 5 13 22. Bottom is in great shape. Would need bottom paint if kept in saltwater longterm. Currently located in Pensacola FL in wetslip. I’m available to show most weekends . Is currently registered in Alabama which does not issue titles for boats but Florida will issue new title if transferred there. Have copies of Title for boat and trailer. Nada says worth 14-16k. Asking 10k due to no bottom paint. Would cost 1500 for bottom paint done by marina, but doesnt need if you trailer it.

Calculations
- Hull Speed

8.1 kn
Classic: 6.45 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
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
16.8
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.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
43.5
>40: stiffer, more 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
- Displacement/Length
-
165.3
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
- Comfort Ratio
-
15.8
<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
- Capsize Screening
-
2.2
>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
Notes
Water ballast model.(Water stays in place for sailing and pumped out for trailering.)
Replaced by the HUNTER 260 which is very similar.
