Up for sale is my 1998 Carrera 280 sportboat. It’s in great shape with many recent upgrades including standing rigging and lines, hydroturf foam cockpit floor and a new Mercury 4hp outboard engine. This is a fast boat with lots of cockpit space. PHRF rating is 93. The sails are in decent shape and are fine for beer can racing. Maybe if you are out there trying to win the PHRF world championship of the world, you may want to get new sails. The boat has a new coat of epoxy barrier coat on the bottom ready to be painted with the bottom paint of your choice.
The boat comes with a spare mast and riggingwill and everything you need to go sailing.
This boat is a faster more ergonomic version of the popular Carrera 290.

The tandem axle trailer has just been refurbished including new LED lights, brakes, bearings and tires.
I am selling this boat because I want to race one design and I have purchased a new boat already. This boat is stored indoors and is taking up space in my warehouse so its time for it to go.
If you have any questions or want to come see the boat please email, call or text Mike
Asking $25K or best offer (make an offer, worst I can say is no)
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)
The CARRERA 280 is an updated version of the CARRERA 290. The 280 has the same hull as the 290, but the stern is shortened 15 inches. The 280 keel is 5 inches deeper than the 290. The 280 rig was redesigned with a retractable sprit/no backstay rig.
