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 flaking system and an anodized B&R double spreader fractional rig with struts on a conventional mast, or the easy-to-sail Selden furling system. Coupled with either sail plan, the Hunter 38's new 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-foot, 6-inch tall cabin ceiling framed in solid teak, which is balanced by an Everwear laminate teak-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.
