2013 HUNTER 27 - New Boat Library

Novice sailors need a boat that's easy to sail and want great value. More experienced sailors desire more size and performance. Hunter's all new 27 satisfies both. The Hunter design team, led by sailboat designer and racer Glenn Henderson set out to design a 27-footer with a big-boat feel and look that was also easy handling and exceptionally forgiving. A refreshingly large main salon with an open design was incorporated. An extraordinary 6'2" of headroom and 9'11" of beam is featured -- unusual for a 27 footer. Cherry wood is used generously on the cabinetry and bulkheads because its light color makes the interior "feel bigger. " An innovative forward v-berth utilizes the seat back on the settee that folds down to provide space for the head of the berth. A private cabin is aft, complete with a queen-size berth athwartship, hanging locker, built-in cushioned seat with lots of storage space beneath. A fully enclosed head with portable MSD and a built-in vanity with mirror and dry linen storage are standard features. The starboard L-shaped galley boasts a single burner gas rangetop, a deep stainless sink, and a convenient built-in storage drawer to hold a portable 40 quart cooler. Counters are fiddled with teak, and additional galley storage is provided with under-counter shelves. The Deluxe Cruising package of options include pressurized hot and cold water, marine head and shower, microwave oven, 18 hp upgraded engine, and Everwear main cabin flooring.
