Broker's Comments

Hunter boats built many yachts that David Thomas designed, he was probably one of the most successful British yacht designers of his era.
This bilge keel example has been continually looked after and upgraded by her owner since he purchased her 5 years ago and has been maintained by the local boatyard. During June 2016 she has been antifouled, a new anode fitted, upgrade of the cooling systems by Installation of new vetus raw water strainer, the VHF deck connection has been replaced and tested and new wind instruments installed.
She is a boat which is rewarding to sail and easy to handle. She has the advantage of having a deck mounted tabernacle which allows one to lower the mast easily.
The accommodation comprises of the children's berth forward, 2 settee berths and a stern cabin with a double berth. The galley is to starboard and the chart table is to port with the heads behind.
She has given her proud owner many happy hours of sailing and now she is looking for a new home.
These boat details are subject to contract.
