Ka Moku Ohana means “The family boat” in polynesian. This 2005 Sundycat is an awesome boat! She is fabulous shape!! The condition of this Sundycat is far better than most similar boats even 1/2 her age! This boat was very well maintained and all of its systems work well. She is ready for use by a beginner or experienced sailor. All of the rigging and hardware is in good working order. The mainsail shows need for minor repairs at the clew and two small holes along the luff, but is fully servicable and has plenty of life. The halyards are in decent shape for a few more seasons, but the down haul line could use to be replaced sooner. All of the standing rigging is solid and well maintained and the running rigging is all safe and operable.
This boat easy to sail, sturdy and safe. Easy to transport, rig and launch from its trailer. A perfect boat for single handed sailing or great for a couple young or old. Great for freshwater or salt, and as capable in open seas as any 21ft boat.
If I made any further changes I would include a small deck winch by the companion way for the halyards, sometimes it would just be nice to have. Additionally Com-Pac can offer a German style sheeting system witch will place the top block near the clew and use two other blocks at each side of the transom. This set up allows for a cleaner cockpit seating area but eliminates the traveler.
Trailer and boat weigh 2500 pounds total.
I’ve sailed this boat 6 different times. Four times in the Chesapeake, twice at the Outer Banks of NC and Wrightsville Beach NC. It is an awesome boat but I have moved on to a full size keel boat and I cant manage two boats.
About photos: Several of the photos were taken last summer at Wrightsville Beach, NC. right after I purchased the boat. The name Sonnenkatz was because the former owner was German. The other photos are from June and August this summer at my home in Charlottesville, VA. , down at Deltaville, VA. on the Chesapeake, or at Ocracoke Island, NC.

Transponder is transom mounted. -2 new trailer tires. -Teak Binocular storage in cabin. -Teak handles in companionway. -4 new black fenders. -2 Stanchion mounted fairleads for tiller lock line. -cup holder. -gaff pole. -Box full of spares and odds and ends. -Fire extinguisher -iCom M-37 Handheld radio
Everything listed is included and a few extra odds and ends.
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.
