Currently stored on the hard at Raiatea Carenage in Raiatea, French Polynesia… We are selling our lovely Hudson Force 50. We hadn’t planned on selling it, but life threw some curveballs, and much like sailing, we’re forced to adapt and continue making way.
Some key PROs include:
French Polynesia import tax is PAID, so the US Documented boat can stay there indefinitely.
The 90HP Beta Marine engine is NEW! It is barely broken in and has lots of life to give.
There is a lot of newer nav electronics, and there is also safety equipment onboard, though I’ll be tempted to bring the PLB back with us.
This is a great boat and made a great and safe home for our family of four - and it safely sailed us over 10k NM. We hope the next owner will give her the love we can’t give her right now…
Reason for the lower price:
It is recommended that you replace the rigging. It will be 10YO come 2024. We planned to replace the wooden masts with aluminum. We have the replacements on standby (only need to pay for labor) in Tahiti and can connect the next owner with the necessary people to make it happen.
Anchor chain should be replaced.
Our yard contract is over April 2024, we would like to sell it before then.
Equipment: Please reach out for a link to our inventory.
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)
