Justine is Ready to Cruise and Race (Turn Key). Transferable Slip upon approval (non live-aboard).

She is the most up-to-date Hunter 31 on the market! As you board the Hunter 31, you can easily see why this boat is special. The foredeck is uncluttered, and both the standing and running rigging are in excellent condition. The cockpit is large and roomy with self-tailing winches in the right places, lots of storage and perfectly proportioned pedestal steering. All lines are led aft for ease of sail trim. The Hunter 31 is perfect for longer cruises or your favorite races. Crafted with improvements for greater reliability, dependability, and enhanced performance. Her patented B&R rig has no babystay or running back stays so you get better control and faster tacking. The swept back spreaders allow higher sheeting angles of the headsail, and a smaller spar section reduces windage and interference with the leading edge of the mainsail. The hull is designed for maximum speed under all conditions, with special emphasis on upwind performance. The masthead rig features swept spreaders. The deck is uncluttered, except for lifelines, genoa track and shrouds, the latter attached nearer the coachroof than to the outside rail. The shroud placement allows crew to move more easily fore and aft for sail changes or foredeck work. The lifeline stanchions are mounted outboard, creating additional room on deck. The cockpit lockers are large enough to stow all sails and other equipment. There's a big-boat feel once you go below. Headroom is 6 feet 3 inches in the spacious saloon, but the V-berth is tight for two adults. The head with sink and toilet is just outside the V-berth and fitted with a privacy door. The overall layout is social, with a U-shaped galley to starboard that allows the cook to converse or otherwise take part in the goings on. The galley has a three-burner stove, sink and an icebox. It is abutted by a dinette that seats four. The port side features a settee and full navigation station with chart table and light. Plentiful windows provide light and cross ventilation. The boat carries 35 gallons of water. The hull was laid in 1984 and were fitted with a 13-horsepower, freshwater-cooled, Yanmar diesel. Panels allow for good engine access. The boat carries 18 gallons of fuel. Justine runs like a top and is happy at 3,000 rpm, she can make 6.1 knots in a calm to slight chop, running at 2,900. The boat performs nicely on its mainsail, but once the wind exceeds 20 knots, one reef is advised. It tracks admirably once in the groove but can be slow to heel and may round up in a heavy gust. A broad reach is not its fastest point of sail. Although the original sales brochure described the Hunter 31 as a bluewater boat, it seems more suited as a coastal cruiser.
