Hunter 40
View on Wikipedia
The Hunter 40 is an American sailboat that was designed by Cortland Steck and first built in 1984.[1][2][3][4]
Key Information
The design was originally marketed by the manufacturer as the Hunter 40, but is now usually referred to as the Hunter 40-1 or the Hunter 40 Legend, to differentiate it from the unrelated 2012 Marlow-Hunter 40 design, which is sometimes called the Hunter 40-2.[1][5]
Production
[edit]The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States between 1984 and 1990, but it is now out of production.[1][2]
Design
[edit]The Hunter 40 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a B&R rig masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom with a folding boarding ladder, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel.[1]
The boat has a draft of 6.5 ft (2.0 m) with the standard keel and 5.0 ft (1.5 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine. The fuel tank holds 40 U.S. gallons (150 L; 33 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 100 U.S. gallons (380 L; 83 imp gal). It has a hull speed of 7.64 kn (14.15 km/h).[1][6]
Factory standard equipment included a 110% roller furling genoa, four two-speed self tailing winches, AM/FM radio and cassette player with four speakers, teak and holly cabin sole, two fully enclosed heads with showers, private forward and aft cabins, a dinette table, refrigerator, dual stainless steel sinks and a three-burner gimbaled compressed natural gas stove and oven.[4]
