Seller's Description

JY15 Sailboat. Nearly New! $4,900 with Trailer!

available at Shoreline Sailboats

Five-year-old barely-used JY 15 Sailboat (sailed on Lake Wawasee in Indiana) now located in Western New York. Spars and mast and blades are about 15 years old from my previous JY, but that plastic hull cracked (as they all did). I took the old boat and parts to Nickels, the new builder of JYs (now Windrider), who now make them out of fiberglass and had the parts put on the new fiberglass hull ($5,500 paid). The Intensity sails have been used just twice (really). An old set of original sails is included. New sheets and lines installed last year.

Boat comes with a galvanized trailer and extra wheel; bearings overhauled two years ago.

Boat is fast and a great trainer. Quick and easy to rig.

Complete at $4900. (new JY 15 with trailer is $10,700-http://www.windrider.com/jy15-21549.html)

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 JY15, 1997

The thing that comes to mind when looking to describe this sailboat is an Osprey. Large, prominent and majestic. Perfect for daysailing, teaching and racing, 8 Lives, this JY15 sailboat, was built in 1997 by Hunter Yachts conforming to a design by the famous yacht architect Rod Johnstone.

8 Lives is presented for sale equipped with Harken interior Hardware (Installed by the First Owner) valued at a total of over $500. But this is not all...

8 Lives was dry sailed for the past 3 years of ownership (by the second owner), creating a healthy and solid hull. Her owners are regretfully selling her due to an excess in boat ownership and maintenance capability.

8 Lives is presented in good condition, with only 3 repairs to her hull in the 23 odd years of sailing she has completed, well below average for this class of boat. Normal cosmetic wear nonwithstanding, she is an excellent family day sailor/racer that has met with success in local Portsmouth racing at her native yacht club.

She does not include a trailer or dolly as her owners have made use of public boat launches at her native club, one with which she has been present since new. Although one can be provided for $500 extra.

Price: $1200 without trailer
