Hobie Magic 25

Hobie Magic 25 is a 24 ′ 6 ″ / 7.5 m monohull sailboat designed by Murray, Burns & Dovell Pty. Ltd. and built by Hobie Cat starting in 1996.

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)

aka MAGIC 25. 3 trapezes. Carbon mast and retractable bowsprit. Most boats built in Australia. Spinnaker: 48.4sqm

Hobie Magic 25

The hull is narrow with a rather tight turn to the bilge. The keel is a retractable aluminum fin with a torpedo. There is an optional kelp cutter. Ballast is 858 pounds. Total displacement is only 1,870 pounds making this a convenient trailerable boat.

The rig features a carbon fiber mast, boom and retractable bowsprit. Rig tension is controlled with hydraulic mast ram that pushes upward on the mast creating prebend while tensioning the rigging. This is a feature borrowed from Australian 18-foot skiffs and is what is called an active rig. It eliminates the need for a backstay for mast control. Rig rules have been designed for strict one design racing. It's said that the class rules were written on the back of a drink coaster, simplicity being the key.

Review of Hobie Magic 25

Basic specs., sailing characteristics.

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.3 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Hobie Magic 25 is about 103 kg/cm, alternatively 579 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 103 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 579 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Hobie Cat USA has teamed up with famed Australian designer Iain Murray to bring us the Hobie Magic 25 which capitalizes on the inroads made by the Melges team with its successful Melges 24. We call them sport boats now and they provide an intermediate step between fully ballasted boats and dinghies.
