Hunter 336 is a 33 ′ 5 ″ / 10.2 m monohull sailboat designed by Rob Mazza and built by Hunter Marine starting in 1995.

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)

New Boat Review: The Hunter 336 [Above Decks] [Below Decks] [Conclusion]

By thom burns.

The Hunter 336 incorporates most of the recent innovations. I sailed this boat with Dave Nagler, Director of Fox River Marina’s Sailing School, on Lake Winnebago in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Fox River Marina and Florida Yacht Charters are owned by the Williams family who have been in the marine business for over 25 years. Lake Winnebago is the largest lake contained within Wisconsin with approximately 150 square miles of sailable area.

Dave and I took the 336 out from Fox River Marina’s Fox River location where we immediately got to test the 27 horsepower Yanmar diesel in 2 to 3 knots of current while we waited for the drawbridge to open. The engine is smooth, relatively quiet and easily powers the boat to hull speed at about half throttle.

It was a beautiful, sunny, light wind day as we motored the short distance down river past numerous boat houses, cottages, sand beaches and finally the lighthouse marking the Fox River which used to be used for navigation all the way out to Lake Michigan. The locks have been inoperative for about a decade now. As we entered the main lake I was impressed by how far away over the horizon the far shore was. This is a big, relatively shallow lake. With 3 to 5 knots of true wind I wondered if the Hunter 336 would sail at all.

We raised the large full roach, full-batten mainsail easily and unfurled the genoa. The boat powered-up and sailed between 2.5 and 3 knots in the light stuff. After taking and jibing a couple of times we noticed some dark wavelets off to the east and sailed for the new wind. Here the breeze was a little stronger, 5 to 8 knots true and the boat really took off. The fractional rig points pretty well. We were around the high 30’s to 40 degrees apparent even in the very light stuff. The power is in the main. Since the spreaders are angled aft to eliminate the backstay, vang trimming for good sail shape is essential. The main also has lazyjacks which make it easy to take the main down or reef it with only one other person aboard. Hunter has made this boat easy to handle by a couple and single handling should be easy as well.

Above Decks

The deck is cleared of most working lines or sheets by running the lines from the mast under a bridgedeck and back to the cockpit. Most of the maintenance work above decks is minimized by stainless steel handrails.

Below Decks

Like all modern Hunters, the Hunter 336 has a light, airy look and feel. The 336 comes in two layouts to fit the boat owner’s needs. The first has a large open salon with a full wrap around settee and open forward V-berth with curtains. This is designed for folks who only occasionally have sleep over guests. It is ideal for entertaining below. The second layout below offers an enclosed forward stateroom for family or friends. This second version is preferred by several charter companies. There are a fair amount of teak and ash accents below.

The aft cabin features an extra-wide queen size berth, hanging locker and plenty of storage. The cockpit design is utilized in the aft cabin layout to give more headroom.

Hunter Marine is constantly refining their products. They are innovative and often adapt quickly what they don’t invent. They seem to be experts in packaging all the standard things you might want from roller furling to dishes which allows them to buy in volume. They are one of the best at hitting price points on their boats which draw sailors to new boats. The Hunter 336 offers a lot of size and amenities for the dollar in a mid-sized coastal cruiser.

I have a 1996 Hunter 336 and have started racing this season. The boat has a phrf rating of 144. I have a new head sail, 155% and have problems high and fast. I find myself falling off further from the racers in front of me. There is a problem pulling the headsail in close and tight because of the rigging of the spreaders. Does anyone have any tips for racing the Hunter 336 with a larger headsail?  

155 won't work With a 155 on this boat you will never get the right sheeting angle. It might have been a waste of money and the sail maker should have seen this. The sheeting angle is hugh in going up wind. I am not sure what the degree is but it needs to sheet in to say 25 degree's off center line of the boat. The current Hunter boats were not designed to have a 155 for going up wind. You just can not get the head sail in past the shrouds since they are attached at the toe rail of the boat. A better choice would have been a deck sweeper jib that might have measured out to be a 116% or something like that. I am surprised a sail maker sold you this sail. The best bet would have been the quessing 125% head sail and a monster roach main sail. Cliff  

155 Could work I had the smaller sister (29.5) with a 150. I finally scored a win when I took a sailmaker on as crew. We moved the bimini out of the way and sheeted the 155 in tight as banjo string. You will need to have a genoa track set up aft and as close in as you can get it.I suggest you look at the photo forum of the 29.5 with the 155  

Thank you Thanks for the feedback, I will have to roll the headsail in and use it as a 125. I will ask the sail maker to recut it as a 125. We did use it in the Newport to Ensenada Race last month and it worked great on a broad reach. It just does not work well high into the wind.  

125% was a guess The 125% was a guess on what the size should be. I would have the sail maker come out get on the boat and measure for the biggest head sail you can have that will trim inside the rig. I would also buy a racing head sail like a UK Tape Drive or a Doyle D 4. Also have him look at the main with the rig on the current Hunter boats a Monster roach main will make up the lost sail area of a 155. A good set of racing sail will move you up in the fleet faster then anything.CLiff  

Cliff is on the "right" tack.... Any racing upwind sail needs to be a decksweeper or you are just giving away power. This is where polars become soooo important. Whether to choose a smaller headsail and point high or a larger one and give away height for speed. Also realize than a one or even two sail inventory is not going to get the job done in a race. A high clew reacher can't compete against a decksweeper #3 for pointing. Conversly, a high clewed light #1 is the perfect sail on a beam reach.PS, I would start by making SURE that the rig is properly tuned before buying any new sails. Most marinas don't have a clew(no pun) how to tune the various rigs correctly.  

Feedback The feedback is great, my current sail inventory is the stock Doyle main sail, the stock Doyle jib, a new Asymetrical Spiniker and the new Genoa, 155% head sail. I also have had the boat tuned and replace a lot of the rigging with more performance rigging. Our racing season started two weeks ago. I race every Tursday night from May through late October in a great series of Regattas that one of the clubs host in Los Alamitos Bay, CA. I will keep you posted on our progress this season.  

Mike Great! ...you've caught the spirit, stay with it, you're going to learn a lot about sailing.
