H 35.5 SA/D RATIO

[Rick H]

Can anyone confirm what the correct sail area to displacement ratio is for a Hunter Legend 35.5. The HOW website lists it as 19.1, but the math doesn't work.

The "Model Info" on this site

The "Model Info" part of this site lists the SA/D ratio for a H35.5 as 19.4 (I can't vouch for its correctness).

Slightly Off

Steve,What I meant to say was The HOW site list the SA/D as 19.4 but mathematically it works out to 16.5. To me, someone who's considering prchasing a 35.5, that's a big difference.

Is your decision to purchase a 35.5 based on its SA/D ratio? If so, how does it factor into your decision? I own one and can tell you that the performance of this boat with good sails is nothing short of spectacular.
