The interior and exterior surfaces are like new, and the boat has everything youd want in a small trailerable vessel. All lines lead to the cockpit for easy single-handling, equipped with an auto-helm autopilot and roller furling. The Hunter 18.5 is a great boat for day sailing and is suitable for overnight: her cabin offers a V-berth that sleeps 2, a quarter berth that sleeps 1, a porta-potie, 2 side windows, built in coleman cooler, and a portable cook top. Outside her cockpit it seats 4 adults and features a large storage lazerette, a fiberglass motor mount and new tiller steering. Equipment: Her auxiliary power is a newer Tohatsu 5HP, 4 cycle gas outboard motor, and a 3 gal. fuel tank with very few hours. It features a shoal draft with 2-foot wing keel: dock lines, and fenders, life vests and tools included.If trailed, the Hunter 185 can be launched in shallow ramps; includes newer tires, main sail with cover, roller furling jib, new 12w battery, bilge pump, stainless steel bow pulpit, life lines, anchor with rode, depth finder, and VHF radio. Trailer is included Rig and SailsAuxilary power, accomodations, calculations. 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 Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL Sail Area / Displacement RatioA 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 - 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 RatioA 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 Displacement / Length RatioA 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 - D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort RatioThis 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 Beam 1.33 ) - D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening FormulaThis 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.

Hunter 18.5 trailer modifications- Thread starter lbsailor

- Hunter Owner Forums

We have a hunter 18.5 trailer that needs some work done to it. Since we are having to bring it in we are wanting to get some modifications done to make launching/retrieving easier since we've heard that's a good idea. I'm looking for suggestions on what specifically we should have done. One thought would be to ask the folks who told you it would be a good idea. And tell us what issues you are having. Wait. That's two thoughts. I agree with Kermit on this one, until you actually try to launch your boat you have no idea what problems you are trying to fix. That said, the 18.5 is a neat boat and unless someone has screwed with the trailer or changed trailers it is a easy boat to launch, unless your ramp is extremely shallow or there is no water. In my opinions sailboats are a bit more difficult to launch that say a john boat or a bass boat, but your 18.5 should be about as easy as they come assuming the ramp is not too flat and you have water. justsomeguyhttps://forums.sailboatowners.com/index.php?threads/hunter-18-5-trailer-modification-help.156167/ This older thread may help to describe @lbsailor trailer problems? Crazy Dave Condonphoto please of the boat and trailer with one sideways and from the rear to refresh my memory. Then send me a private message when you have posted them here later this week. I am sick. You ok Dave? Hopefully it's not the flu as its been a rough one this year. Sam Virus but was restoring an indoor pool for a good friend of mine at a time when I was fiberglassing, applying gel coat, laying 2000E interprotect and so forth as the fumes did not help the old throat or gizzard of mine. Bout finished but taking the week off for sure to get back to my old snarly self. Thanks for your concern. Kermit said: One thought would be to ask the folks who told you it would be a good idea. And tell us what issues you are having. Wait. That's two thoughts.[/ QUOTE] Delete the period after "idea". Click to expand You need to take better care of yourself Dave. We would be screwed without you. Sam @IBsailor I got the first load of the 18.5 when it came out. the general complaint I had was of course the wing keels hanging up I think on the keel guides. Please send me a photo of your trailer specifically with boat on trailer from the side (rear) and the back so I can refresh my memory and comment. Thank you. Flynhi4u, roger that and taking the full week off before finishing pool. Like working on a sailboat hull again. - This site uses cookies to help personalise content, tailor your experience and to keep you logged in if you register.

It takes into consideration "reported" sail area, displacement and length at waterline. The higher the number the faster speed prediction for the boat. A cat with a number 0.6 is likely to sail 6kts in 10kts wind, a cat with a number of 0.7 is likely to sail at 7kts in 10kts wind. KSP = (Lwl*SA÷D)^0.5*0.5
The Hunter 18.5 is one we felt warranted a closer look. The buxom little 18.5 was produced from 1987 to 1993 (a quite different water-ballasted Hunter 19 superseded the 18.5 and was built from 1993 to 1996). The 18.5 featured a modern-looking cockpit and a cabin with as many as four berths.
Interior. The boat is equipped with 3 berths and a galley. Rig. ... The SA/D for Hunter 18.5 with ISO 8666 reference sail is 17.8, with a 135% genua the SA/D is 20.6. Low High 50% 0 50 100. The SA/D ratio indicates that it is faster than 50% of all similar sailboat designs in light wind.

the new Hunter 18 replaces the Hunter 170, which for several years was a mainstay in Hunter's line of small daysailers. Like the 170, the 18 can serve as both an easy-to-manage family daysailer and as a lively performance boat for those with more experience. At a glance the two boats look quite similar, sporting open transoms, centerboards and small sprayhoods forward.

Great first time boat. The interior offers standing headroom when the hatch is forward and hinged up, and comfortable upholstered seating.
Jan 28, 2001. #5. 18.5. MY first boat was a 18.5. We found out quickly that the cabin was too small by the time we loaded everything for an overnight stay. Secondly, in very very light air you do need to have forward motion ( water moving over the fixed keel) to maintain steerage.
Hunter has gone from rotomolded polyethylene to all-fiberglass construction for its small-boat range this year, and the new 18 is the first of the new boats to be launched. Longer and beamier than the 170 it replaces, it features a retractable sprit for an A-sail and has an open transom. Also on show will be the Hunter 15, the fiberglass successor to the Hunter 146, and the Hunter 22, which

15. hunter 18.5 Candlewood Lake. Jul 14, 2015. #1. I have been slowly restoring my 18.5 and would like to find the OEM or very similar water tank (flexible I assume) to supply the galley pump. The hose from the pump leads to an area just forward of the mast and has a standard garden hose connection.

You could well outgrow the boat within a month. A 22 or 25 Catalina or Hunter would be much more satisfying over time, and more forgiving than 18.5.
