Hunter is a popular American shipyard, whose main activity is the creation of luxury cruise sailing yachts .

Created 40 years ago in the state of Florida in the USA, this brand is still on the wave of success, at least within the North American continent. Having chosen a strategy for creating comfortable sailing yachts at affordable prices and using innovative ideas and technologies, Hunter shipyard quickly became one of the best American manufacturers of luxury sailing yachts and has been confidently holding its leading position for decades.

Among competitors, Hunter yachts have always been distinguished by their original design, including including invariable stainless arches above the cockpit, a characteristic “winged” keel and numerous skylights on the deck. Designer Henderson, who was recently associated with this American shipyard, had a special influence on the specific design and development of the hulls of new models.

It was his influence that was noticeably reflected in the new Hunter models, which are increasingly acquiring the features of racing ships. The hulls of boats of this brand were significantly modernized and technical specifications improved, which allows not only comfortable traveling on Hunter yachts in the open sea, but also take part in international regattas on equal terms with worthy competitors. One of the shipyard’s most popular sports models is Hunter 41, which repeatedly proves its superiority in various regattas and at the same time is ideally suited for a comfortable stay. Henderson's innovative design only increased the number of fans of the sailing boats of this shipyard.

The interiors of yachts of this American brand are distinguished by the spaciousness typical of American manufacturers and the excellent illumination provided by numerous windows and hatches. Wood trim brings a special home comfort to the cabin design.

Innovations in design and constructions, continuous improvement and maximum reliability made Hunter yachts quite popular in the world of sailing, and so much so that even in Europe (in England) its branch appeared, where all the same technologies are used in production as on the main shipyards in Florida. The creators of comfortable and practical Hunter sailing yachts have successfully borrowed many technological aspects from the automotive industry, and it is not for nothing that boats of this brand are often called “cadillacs in the open sea”. Such technologies make it easy to release up to 50 models every month on water. The decrease in manual work in the decoration of yachts allowed them to reduce prices. Computer technology is used both in the design of models, and to create directly boat parts. Although it can be said that Hunter yacht production is put on a conveyor belt, their quality and reliability always remain in the first place.

Regardless of whether you are looking for a racing yacht, dreaming of a small boat for a comfortable stay or aim to purchase a comfortable sailing boat for family trips, a wide selection of Hunter shipyard model lines allows you to find an option for every occasion and taste.

Hunter 170 is a 17 ′ 1 ″ / 5.2 m monohull sailboat designed by Hunter Design Team and built by Hunter Marine starting in 1999.

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)

Hunter 170 mast length

• Thread starter jetav8r
• Start date May 8, 2014
• Hunter Owner Forums
• Day Sailers

Hi - Am repairing a 170 mast that was hit by a falling tree limb and sheared in two at the top where the shroud lines connect. I have an exact matching piece to recreate the mast but I'd like to know how long it is. I have the detailed owners manual but it lists the dimension as "MAST HEIGHT". So, I am not sure if that means it was measured from the bottom of the boat -OR- is the actual mast length. This is not critical.... but if I can get it exactly right, why not? Can someone measure their mast length for me and (IMPORTANT), tell me EXACT how/where you measure FROM and TO. The owners manual say 25' 6". Appreciate the help !! Owners Manual is here: http://www.usdrapers.com/Dave/Files/Hunter170OwnersManual.pdf  

johnhamburger

I measured mine from my 2000 H170. It was 23'-9" without the masthead and sheaves. Hope it helps.

That is the drawing for the boom from the Hunter 170  

HA! How did I not think of that !?!? Truth is... I have not seen the boom yet. I am fixing this for a friend and while I have all the gear... I have not seen it fully rigged yet (boom is in the sail bag). PLUS.... Marlow-Hunter sent this to me as a drawing of the mast? I thought it was like page 1 of 3. Funny stuff.  

Crazy Dave Condon

ON the hunter 170, the mast and boom may have come from Dwyer Aluminum Mast company., Google them and they will know the information and can help you. They are the oldest small mast manufactuer in the U.S..
