Seller's Description

Standard features

Hunter Marine is pleased to announce the latest addition to its collection - the Hunter 306. The 306 proves that owners can have a comfortable family cruiser in a model less than 30 feet in length. The 10-foot 9-inch beam boasts a spacious salon, as well as two private staterooms, one forward and one aft, a large head, a full-size galley, and even a nav station for charting the course. Eight opening hatches and ports provide plenty of light and the headroom is fantastic. The large beam also gives the captain and crew plenty of room in the cockpit. Deep, angled coamings make any passage a safe and comfortable one. The cockpit table with folding leaves makes entertaining easy. Two integral stern rail seats provide guests the best seats in the house. Standard features include Edsons rack and pinion steering, Lewmar self-tailing winches, a Furlex headsail furling, the B and R backstayless rig which Hunter is known for, and a Yanmar 18-horsepower inboard diesel. Hunters famous Cruise Pac means this boat is ready for cruising the day its delivered.

Great Boat, ready to sail away. My new boat is already here. Ive just refinished the galley table just havent put it back in yet. Aways maintained with an open checkbook. Im the second owner. She has been well cared for and loved. All new running rigging, sails not new but still crinkly. Easy to single hand sail due to the furling main and jib.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.8 kn
Classic: 6.95 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

8.79 knots
Classic formula: 6.95 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
15.1
<16: under powered

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.
15.09
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
35.7
<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

35.68
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
163.3
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
163.32
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
16.7
<20: lightweight racing boat

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
16.65
<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
2.2
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising

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
2.23
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Shoal draft version: draft = 3.83’/1.17m.
