1989 Hinterhoeller Nonsuch 36

Listed
Expired
$89,950 USD

Seller's Description

1989 Nonsuch 36, beautiful, turn-key condition, well-maintained, easy to single-hand with two electric winches (plus windlass) and all sail-handling done from the cockpit. Hinterhoeller Yachts are know for quality manufacturing and elegant styledistinguishing NONSUCH yachts from others and result in yachts that stand the test of time. These boats have great speed due to long waterline and can be single-handed easily. Nonsuch Yachts are surprisingly nimble upwind and are truly unbelievable off the wind. Cat-rigged with a wishbone boom, the NS36 is self-tacking and you can reef from the cockpit. She has a fin keel & spade rudder and wheel steering. The sail is easily raised with the electric halyard winch. Without stays it is extremely easy to walk around on deck. It is performance cruising at its best. Having less than 2000 hours and regular maintenance the 45 h.p. Universal diesel runs perfectly. With the Spectra water maker you can not only make fresh water and fill your tanks using salt water but purifying sketchy dock water as well. Not much beats having unlimited reverse osmosis water in your tanks! With 400 watts of solar your batteries are well maintained. Need 110 vac? Up to 1500 watts ac with the inverter running most all things ac including your built-in microwave. Weve spared no expense on getting a good nights sleep, buying the best quality foam and using the Froli system. These bunks are able to be adjusted to firmness and are more comfortable than our Sleep Number bed at home!

Calculations

Hull Speed
9.3 kn
Classic: 7.79 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

9.28 knots
Classic formula: 7.79 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
18.0
16-20: good 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.
17.96
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
38.2
<40: less stiff, less 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

38.23
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
197.2
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
197.24
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
25.8
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
25.76
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
2.0
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

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
1.97
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Shoal keel model draft: 4.42’.
