Selling my 2004 Hobie Tiger. She has been an incredible boat for me and I’ll miss her dearly, but after I learned how to kitesurf, I’ve been kiting on all of the days I’d normally be sailing and she just hasn’t gotten used as much! I’d love to find her a new home with someone who will enjoy her as much as I have. Boat is a salvage title, but is seaworthy again. A windstorm did some hull damage and put some dents in the rudders, which I’ve since repaired with professional guidance. It includes two mains (practice and race), one jib (race), and two spinnakers (practice and race). There may be a few lines to swap out, but otherwise, ready to sail.Listing to gauge interest. Please let me know if you have any specific questions and I’ll be happy to help. I’d have to do some work if you’d like to buy the boat, such as digging through to find my title for the boat and trailer and possibly a trip to the DMV, but if you’re interested, I will do what I need to do to insure a smooth transfer.
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.
