The Hunter 38 is an American sailboat that was designed by Glenn Henderson as a cruiser that was designed for single handed sailing with a great layout offering lots of volume for its size and innovative hull design that handles rough waters well with its deep hull that cuts through the water and delivers good sailing performance for a cruising sailboat
The Hunter 38 was designed as an exceptionally comfortable cruiser with outstanding performance and easy handling. The Hunter 38's sail plan features a large roach mainsail with furling main sail and an anodized B&R double spreader fractional rig. The easy-to-sail Selden furling system. Coupled with either sail plan, the Hunter 38's stainless steel rudder design delivers exceptional power that is more aerodynamically efficient and responsive when under way. Interior comfort rules in the Hunter 38, thanks to the dedicated effort of our team of interior designers and stylists. Spaciousness is achieved by the 6'6' tall cabin ceiling framed in Cherry wood interior, which is balanced by an Everwear laminate Cherry-and-holly sole. An extra large salon, master stateroom with en suite head, guest stateroom with V-berth, full-service galley and dedicated nav station all work together onboard the Hunter 38 to create a functional interior living environment.
