This 1996 Hunter 40.5 sloop offering a well-proportioned blend of coastal cruising comfort and manageable sail handling, backed by a comprehensive 2023 pre-purchase condition survey that found the vessel in good overall structural shape with a handful of maintenance items typical of a boat of this age.
Construction & Hull
The hull is solid fiberglass below the waterline with a balsa-cored deck and topsides above the chine, reinforced by a molded structural liner and fiberglass frame grid. The survey found the hull laminate, bulkheads, and bulkhead bonds structurally sound, with no deficiencies affecting seaworthiness.

Decks and cockpit are solid, self-bailing, and finished in molded fiberglass with etched non-skid. The cockpit is shielded by a canvas dodger with clear isinglass windows. The mast and boom are anodized aluminum (Z-Diffusion mast, Forespar Leisure Furl boom) in good condition, with self-furling main and 110 genoa operated from the cockpit - ideal for short-handed sailing.

The galley features a gimbaled propane/electric stove and an Adler Barbour refrigerator/freezer (currently unwired). Two heads are served by a 35-gallon holding tank, and fresh water is supplied by four tanks totaling 105 gallons with a 6-gallon water heater.
