Be sure to check out the extensive equipment list and compare it to any boat in it's class and you will realize you have found a diamond in the rough.Ã?Â
The Hunter 426 Aft Cockpit tempts a broad audience with comfort and agility. For a dockside liveaboard who can't bear to part with comforts of land life, this yacht is full of familiar appliances and creature comforts that are above the standard found on most yachts in this price range.
Generously sized and well laid out in a practical L-shape, the galley is nicely fitted out with a propane stove with oven and twin deep stainless-steel sinks set in Corian countertops. Its convenience is enhanced by the ventilation provided by two opening ports, a hatch, and the proximate companionway. The refrigerator and freezer are under-counter units that offer the convenience of front-opening household appliances and leave the counters clear for food preparation. A microwave is near the stove.
The centerpiece of the main saloon is an eye-catching glossy varnished table. The setup allows easy entry and exit to the U-shaped dinette. A group of four can sit around the dinette on sculpted seats and with ample elbow room, and the settees are long enough and straight enough to stretch out on. Here, as in other areas of the accommodations, the ambiance is helped by an abundance of wood, enhanced by well-matched veneered surfaces and solid trim. A flat-screen TV mounted on the starboard saloon bulkhead stands by to entertain dockside. The saloon's large windows lend a bright and airy feel.
The forward cabin with a V-berth has its own headÃ? with separate shower stall and ample storage. In the aft cabin, the queen-sized berth is set athwartships, and by virtue of the cockpit's height above the waterline, it's neither claustrophobic nor restrictive and is extremely comfortable with the boat at rest. Other amenities in this roomy cabin are a short couch and a vanity table with a Corian dresser top.Ã?Â
Located in the passageway, and with entries from the main cabin and the aft stateroom, the aft head contains a separate stall shower as well.
The electrical wiring is laid out cleanly, to a large extent in conduit and chases. The plumbing is arranged logically, with through-hulls and manifolds readily accessible, and the engine is revealed in its entirety when the companionway steps are swung aside and the vanity table aft is pulled up.
The Hunter 426 has the Bergstrom & Ridder rig combined with a mainsail with in-mast furling. The B&G rig features spreaders swept back 30 degrees and no backstay. Standing Rigging and Sails were replaced in 2019. All the control lines from the mast are led to two winches on the cabin top, one on each side of the companionway. A couple of built-in tail bins at the companionway help to keep lines organized and uncluttered.
The cockpit is roomy and wide and offers the space to entertain numerous guests for sundowners. To keep the cockpit comfy for sitting, it's bereft of cleats, and the jib-sheet winches are well aft, putting them within easy reach of the helmsman. Visibility from the helm is excellent with large Isinglass windows in the dodger and shade is provided by the full length bimini. Docking is aided by a Sidepower Bow Thruster.

The Biggest Pros and Cons
The 2003 Hunter 426 is a popular cruising sailboat known for its spacious design and ease of handling. Here are some of the key pros and cons:
Pros
Spacious Interior: The Hunter 426 offers a roomy and comfortable cabin layout, featuring multiple cabins and heads, making it ideal for extended cruising or liveaboard.
Innovative Design: It includes Hunter’s signature B&R rig, which provides a large sail area and eliminates the need for a backstay, allowing for a more open cockpit and easier sail handling.
Ease of Handling: With features like in-mast furling mainsail and roller furling headsail, the boat is well-suited for shorthanded sailing or cruising with a small crew.
Good Performance: The hull design and sail plan offer a good balance between comfort and performance, allowing for respectable speeds in a range of wind conditions.
Quality Construction: Built with solid fiberglass and quality materials, the Hunter 426 is known for durability and long-lasting value.
Cons
Weight and Draft: The boat is relatively heavy and has a moderate draft, which may limit access to shallow anchorages or require careful consideration in certain cruising grounds.
In-Mast Furling Efficiency: While convenient, the in-mast furling mainsail can sometimes reduce sail shape efficiency compared to traditional mainsails, potentially impacting performance.
Maintenance of Systems: Some owners note that maintenance of the furling systems and onboard electronics can be more intensive, requiring regular attention to keep everything in top condition.
Limited Upwind Performance: Although comfortable, the design prioritizes cruising comfort over racing performance, so upwind sailing may not be as sharp as some other designs in its class.
