Sunstar 28 is a 27 ′ 11 ″ / 8.5 m monohull sailboat designed by Edwin Monk Jr. and built by Spencer Boats Ltd. between 1981 and 1985.
Rig and Sails
Auxilary 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 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.
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 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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
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.
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 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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

There are 2 spencer 28 om T/M which one? the round bilge or square,if square it will be tight with family,over grown stileto.I had the Sabre 30 and not a great cruising yacht but we had fun.
Compass790 hard to tell from photos but a couple on the Web look roomy enough.
Nova 28 a lot produced in ply but the one I saw om T/M is glass.
Depending on family size ages going by T/M photos I would be looking at the Nova but then again at the Nova price you could get a D28.
All comes down to maintaince,mechanical,sails etc
waikiore 438
For good family boat, the Nova
aardvarkash10 1,056
The one with the best maintenance record and all signs of being loved.
After that, get everyone aboard and move around the cabin and cockpit. See who falls over who, who smacks their head, who gets stuck in the head or can't get into it etc.
That should eliminate at least one of the three.
Lastly, the additional equipment and features. Fridge, fitted GPS/plotter, quality cooker, anchor and all the lines (not really additional equipment on a yacht, but often overlooked).
Then survey.
Thanks everyone for comments. I got to that point of being more interested in sailing than looking so i made an offer on a different boat twice my original budget and so looks like i am about to move up to a keeler.

What did you end up with
Kevin McCready 83
If it's not too late think about an Easterly 30. You're welcome to come and sail with me if you want out of Hobson Bay in Auckland.
https://kmccready.wordpress.com/?s=easterly
Yes i was interested but didnt really know anything about the boat or the price so i didnt follow up. Thankyou for you offer of a sail. There is a real sense of "cant be bothered" from sellers when trying to see boats. Im guessing there are so many tyre kickers and time wasters that sellers get fed up with it. Many sellers either didnt respond at all or wouldnt make a time to view. But anyway, i want to get a professional rigger to look over the standing rigging, a marine electrician to look at the wiring so if anyone has any recommendations that would be great.
Max at 'stay tuned' rigging is helpful if you're looking for a rigger.
Island time on this site does electrics etc if you want someone to look at wiring?
