The owner bought this boat in 2022
Standard features
1999 hunter 260 tiller version sailboat water ballast retractable swing kill. I purchased the boat in Kansas it spent all of its life on fresh water lake and was stored on the hard during the winter. We recently relocated the boat to Palacios TX (feb 2022) to learn to sail. The boat tows easily with 1/2 ton vehicles,We are upgrading to a larger boat. Hunter 260 includes, led lighting, auto bilge, battery tender, power inverter,main sail cover, companion way covers,screens for all hatches and companion way, dehumidifier 20-30gal freshwater holding tank, 10gal black water tank, stove, ice chest,compass, heel indicator,swim ladder, 6hp Nissan 4 stroke less than 20hrs, all interior cushions and bedding, jib roller furller, marine toilet and 2 sinks,, galvanized trailer, recent bottom paint by previous owner this is the cleanest 260 we could find when we where shopping great boat for weekend camping or day sailing. The shallow draft is less than 2’ with the board up. $17,000 I have clear Texas titles for boat, trailer and outboard.The boat is available if this ad is still posted. More pics available, Could not upload all. Thanks
Extra gear included
Life jackets, fenders, dock lines, throw cushion , first aid kit
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)
Water ballast model (for ease of trailering - tanks remain full for sailing).
Based on the earlier HUNTER 26.
