Sad to say but unfortunately this awesome boat just doesn’t get enough use for us to justify keeping it around. I would love for someone to enjoy it the way we have over the past few years. It’s been a very sturdy boat for us, we’ve done some cram racing with it, and 1.5 Everglades challenges (not because the boat couldn’t handle it though). Like I said, I’m sad to part with it, but it’s a great boat, and deserves to be out on the water.2003 hobie tiger2016 updates: New trampoline2017 updates: Gel coat refurb to bottom of both hulls Battened whirlwind jib (gray) Whirlwind spin (green), used once All new running lines2018 updates: All new Standing rigging Glaser main, used a handful of times2019 updates: Forward sailing snuffer bag2020 updates: Furling whirlwind jib (black), used onceComes with holsclaw trailer with removable front mast support if you want to keep it rigged on the trailer without the sprit getting in the way, trailer tires new in 2018, beach wheels, Current kite is bright yellow, has some life left in her, we have 2 forestays (one for furling one for battened jib). We do also have an older main that has reefing points (required for Everglades challenge), it’s usable, but is showing its age. The boards and rudders are in good shape, have a couple spots that could be patched easily and we are not opposed to getting those fixed up for the buyer. Also, our trailer box finally gave out, so we don’t have one on the trailer currently.Asking $6000Boat is located in Sandusky, OH
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)
Originally designed to Formula 18 rule. (twin trap.)
First built in France.
Introduced in USA in 2001.
No longer in production for sale in US.
