Descriptions

Overview

Hunter's 37.5 is one of the most comfortable and well rounded designs in the Hunter line of coastal cruising yachts. Every aspect of the yacht is efficiently designed to maximize space, comfort, storage and functionality. 

Her shoal draft bulb-wing keel has a draft of only 4'11".  Her generous sail plan is easy to handle and provides quick and spirited acceleration in all wind conditions. A Dutchman mainsail flaking system makes the job of stowing the main as simple as releasing the halyard.  Hunter designed these boats to be easy to maintain, comfortable, capable and fun to sail.  It is no wonder these were such popular designs, Hunter hit their target with the Legend 37.5,  



Walkthough

Entering the cabin via the main companionway, there's a teak ladder leading down over the engine box. Atop the engine there is a storage compartment for winch handles and other gear within easy reach of the cockpit. A large L-shaped galley with corian countertops is to port, and a massive walk through head with separate shower. is immediately to starboard.  
The nav station is located just forward of the head.   Forward of the galley and nav station is the main salon with an adjustable drop leaf table and seating for seven.  Moving forward is a private guest stateroom with v-berth, abundant storage and louvered pass through.

Aft of the galley gains access to the large master stateroom.  The aft stateroom features a queen berth, 5 opening ports, access to the head, and plenty of storage. 



Accommodations

"Happy Ours" sleeps seven comfortably, two in the master stateroom aft, two in the v-berth forward, two on the L-shaped convertible dinette, and one on the settee to starboard.. The interior is teak and teak veneer over marine plywood. The cabin sole is teak and holly.  There is easy access to all bilge areas through lift-up teak floorboard.  All interior wood is in great condition with no signs of water intrusion. 

The main salon upholstery was replaced in 2005 with cream colored Ultraleather.   The interior of this yacht looks warm and inviting and is in incredibly good condition. 



Electronics


Galley

To port, the deluxe galley features Corian countertop and teak fiddles. The food preparation area is excellent, augmented by E-Z access food storage. The icebox is approximately 8 cu. ft with two large doors, both assisted with gas lifts. Custom stainless safety rails are a chefs best friend on long passages.

 

 



Head

The massive head is accessed from either the main salon or the master stateroom.
