Whether you are ready to set sail for the islands or just around the buoys, the Hunter 36 can really make a difference. Starting with the tall, fractional rig, which is a direct descendent of the B&R rig that powered Hunter's Child to a second place finish in the BOC. Hunter has engineered the mast to carry less weight aloft with smaller sections. This is accomplished by utilizing swept-back spreaders and reverse diagonals as well as mast support struts. This combination provides superior strength without a backstay and increases the stability at the same time. By using a large roach main as the power sail, Hunter has eased the effort in sail handling and allowed for real versatility for all wind and sea conditions. Your benefit: better performance with less effort. The deck layout relects the innovation that accompanies the rig. An integrated arch protects the cockpit from snapping main sheets. The large and tall sunbrella bimini (new in 2024) keeps you well protected from the sun. The dodger made of strataglass was also replaced in 2024 along with the side and aft screens which fully enclose the cockpit. The arch keeps the cockpit clear and open. A custom console hosts a new (2025) Raymarine Axiom 9 MFD chartplotter in Nav Pod, Raymarine EV-1 wheel Autopilot, ST60 Wind instruments and Danforth compass. A Lewmar folding wheel, single lever control and fold down table complete the command station. Swim platform with walkthrough transom has hot and cold shower. Folding ladder is perfect for water sports or for boarding the tender. Storage is everywhere you look. The non-skid is in excellent condition. Comfort is truly important aboard whether for a week long stay or out cruising for a year so Hunter has created an interior that not only looks good but works for you as well. Two private, large staterooms, an enormous head with hot 'n cold shower, a salon that can seat eight plus a gourmet galley will keep all the crew happy.
