General condition and any additional information
PRICE REDUCED FOR QUICK SALE!
This boat has been well maintained and loved. Ive replaced, added and/or upgraded so many things on this boat, I have lost track. I need to sell quickly or I will have to start paying storage fees. So come take a look. I have sailed and trailered this boat all over Virginia, North Carolina (OBX), Alabama and now South Carolina. She is comfortable, and sails very well with her new sails and new traveler system.
Note: The O.B. shown in the pictures is not included. I will install a brand new Tohatsu 6hp Sailpro for an extra $2K.

Standard features
The Hunter 26 is a pocket cruiser with a retractable, keel and is water ballest for ease of transport. The rig is a fractional sloop. The cockpit is large and roomy with a walk off transom.
With the ballest tanks flooded, The H26 displaces 4,600 lb. With the ballast tanks empty the boat weighs in at 2,600 pounds. The ballast is drained at the launch through a valve in the bottom of the hull.
The boat has a draft of 6.00 ft with the centerboard extended and 1.75 ft retracted. The boat can be easily beached.
The cockpit boats a built in self draining fuel locker, stern rail seats, and a setee locker to port. The battery switch and shore power are also in the setee locker. This particular H26 also has a solar charging set up. At anchor, a dinet table is inserted into a receiver in the cockpit sole. The dinet stows in a recess under the V-berth. On the bow is a self draining anchor locker.
On deck you will find two an deck organizer and two rope clutches and a cam cleat to starboard. On this particular H26 the owners has added three additional rope clutches and an additional deck organizer to port for a total of 6 line contolls on deck. All lines are now led back to the cockpit. The owner also added a traveler for the main sheet that sits on the bridge deck. See photos in supplied link to a more complete showing of upgrades.
Inside you will find an enclosed head with sink to port and a galley to starboard. The galley has a 2-burner origo alcohol stove and sink with a foot pump. Under the cockpit is a queen berth with a port that opens onto the cockpit. Forward is the v-berth and the salon table that can be raise and rotated to add length to the v-berth. Three additional opening ports (forward, galley and head) complete the cabin.
Extra gear included
Original Included Items • Digital Depth and Speed Log (great shape) • Two Anchors, Rode, Chain, etc. • Origo 2-burner alcohol stove (great shape) • Gally Sink • Removable cold box (great shape) • Enclosed Head with sink and 5 gal portapotty with pump-out conversion plumbing. • Telescoping sweeper pole • Shore power w/ battery switch
Also Included • Used spinnaker (could use some patching) o The boat is not set up for a spinnaker but the sail does fit the boat.

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
8.1 kn
Classic: 6.45 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
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
16.8
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.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
43.5
>40: stiffer, more 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
- Displacement/Length
-
165.3
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
- Comfort Ratio
-
15.8
<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
- 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
Notes
Water ballast model.(Water stays in place for sailing and pumped out for trailering.)
Replaced by the HUNTER 260 which is very similar.
