The Sun Cat is a roomy day sailboat and overnighter that is easily trailered and launched, with a board-up draft of only 14”. The Sun Cat can be single-handedly rigged in minutes thanks to the Mastendr Quick Rig Sailing System. Seller will help with delivery to a buyer in New England.
Equipment: Performance galvanized trailer with good tires (mileage <1000 miles) with spare tire and PVC trailer guides. With the hinged mast with Mastendr quick rig sailing system, the boom, sail, and gaff boom remain installed on the boat while the mast is folded or raised. Hull color is white with tan top. Features include: Bimini top for cockpit, transom boarding ladder, aluminum rudder, teak wood trim, canvas sail cover, canvas boat cover (when boat is on the trailer), fabric cabin bed cushions, weather proof cockpit seat cushions, cabin storage lockers, protected space for outboard motor gasoline containers, boat hook, Danforth anchor & line, covered opening for anchor rode on bow deck, personal floatation devices, 12V outlet, battery, cabin lights and navigation running lights, new anti-fouling bottom paint. The sail is in good condition with a patched area.
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)
A daysailer model (without the cuddy/cabin) is also available.
