Seller's Description
KANTHAKA is for sale.
This OVNI 43 from 1998 has received a complete refit in 2024 in Barcelona in preparation of circumnavigation plans. After crossing the Atlantic this winter, we unfortunately will need to stop our cruising here. Kanthaka is well-maintained and fully equipped to liveaboard, completely ready to take off. A catch for anyone planning bluewater cruising. Currently visible in the bay islands of Honduras, then in the Rio Dulce from end of April.
Equipment: ALL NEW from 2024 refit: - All new standing rigging (highest racing BSI quality) - New running rigging: Dyneema halyards and roller line, new genoa sheets. - New Boom and reef lines - New Vang - New windlass 1500W - New anchor Vulcan 33kg - New liferaft Offshore - New Bimini
New Electronics : - New Radar Halo New Vulcan chartplotter (in cockpit) - New AIS active transponder - New Starlink wifi gen4
New Electricals: - New 900W solar panels (2x450W) - New charge controller Victron - New 2000W pure sine wave inverter - New water pump Jabsco - Mast electrical refit: all new wiring, new navigation lights, floodlight, etc.
Engine revision: – mechanical full revision, injectors revised. – new Yanmar electrical board and key. – new gearbox
The deck paint was recently redone in 2020 and looks nearly new. The aluminium hull shows absolutely no sign of corrosion, structure is sane. Interior very well-maintained by the previous owners who owned it for 10 years. Never a rental boat.
Other equipment: - Watermaker 60L/hr - Hydrogenerator - Iridium GO satellite phone - Gas stove with oven - Air fryer electrical stove - BBQ gas - Electrical fridge - Stereo soundsystem USB/Bluetooth with 2 speakers - EPIRB beacon - Harnesses - Safety equipment & grab bag - Fans in Saloon and 2 cabins - LED lighting in all cabin and saloon.
This boat designed for cruising has ample storage with numerous lockers, and tanks: Two freshwater tanks: 250L 350L Three diesel tanks: 2 X 150L an 80L reserve
Engine: Yanmar MD22 55hp original engine 8400hrs. Extremely reliable and starts instantly. During the refit engine replacem

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
9.1 kn
Classic: 7.83 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
-
22.0
>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.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
42.4
>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
-
210.6
200-300: moderate
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
-
23.1
20-30: coastal cruiser
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
-
2.1
>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
