Seller's Description
Beautiful 1983 Hutchins Compac 16 Sailboat. Very Good Condition. The boat has never been bottom painted. I picked up the boat in Indiana this past November and due to an unforeseen event, have decided to sell the boat.
Equipment: The boat comes with a Hutchins trailer. The trailer has brand new tongue coupler, trailer jack, brand new tires (incl. new spare), new lights, and existing bearing buddies. I have a current Maryland title for the boat. The trailer has the Indiana title which can be signed over. The fiberglass is in excellent condition for the age of the vessel. Previous owner re-bedded all hardware 2 years ago. The rub rails are in great condition. The cockpit converts to a sleeping area with custom varnished wood inserts. Prior owner built custom aluminum mast and boom crutch. Also includes compass, brand new deep cycle marine battery (never used), with solar panel and charge controller, 12V interior dome light, solar vent fan (w/ light), wind vane, fire extinguisher, motor mount, anchor, owners manual, refinished tiller w/ cover, original quarter berth cushions in very good condition. Standing rigging is new and was installed by the prior owner. Original Sails are reconditioned and in very very good condition along with a Brand New set of sails (used 1 time), by Super Sail Makers in Fl. Also included are (3) different hatch covers. A screen version, vent version, and complete enclosure. Boat is equipped with all required navigation lights. Included with the sale is a vintage electric motor. Thanks in advance for your interest.

Calculations
- Hull Speed

6.2 kn
Classic: 5.02 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
-
14.1
<16: under powered
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
-
40.9
>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
-
178.6
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
-
10.6
<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
-
2.3
>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
