Up for sale is my 2017 Exploder. This boat was stripped and completely rebuilt from the skeleton up, with a lot of help from Bruce Mahoney (thanks, Bruce). The paint was stripped, hulls were faired, and it was professionally painted. The tramp was replaced with a Dyneema/Kevlar Mahoney tramp. All of the control lines were replaced with 3-4 mm Dinghy Control and modernized to be continuous around the back corners of the tramp. The mainsheet and blocks have been upgraded. Traveler car was replaced last year. All small control blocks replaced with Harken flywheels or Ronstan micros. Everything is spliced dyneema wherever possible. All cleats replaced with new Harken micro cleats. The siding is custom fit Raptor deck – super durable and basically guaranteed never to peel from the hull. The rudder locking mechanism was fortified to better support the rudders when they are up and lock securely when sailing. The exploder foiling boards have a small bit of wear on the trailing edges but are otherwise in great shape. The rudders are in excellent shape. Covers for the foils, custom stern chocks (I made these to be about 2x as thick as the stock chocks), and beach dolly included. The trunks accepts either foiling boards or the exploder C-boards without any modifications. So this boat can be sailed as a classic or a foiler depending on the your preferences. I am including a like-new set of the Exploder C boards with the purchase. They are in perfect condition. Also included is a brand new set of Krantz dyneema standing rigging. I can also throw in a North Sails square top main and battens. The boat is in great shape. IMO, it is a fast classic and a good entry-level foiler. I took a hiatus from the fleet for a few years and am looking to upgrade my platform as I get back into it. As you guys know, moving these boats is a jigsaw puzzle and I am anxious to find this boat a new home so I have room for a new one. So I am asking $6500 but would be willing to meet you somewhere lower if we can reach a deal before July.This is a great boat, IMO I think it is a great value at this price point. Can add Hall stiff mast and boom for $1000. Boat is located in CT
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)
