Glenn Henderson, Hunter Marine’s talented and expressive in-house designer describes the Hunter 36 as an “evolutionary derivative” of its predecessor. That would be a scary term coming from a financial planner, but what Henderson means is that he’s refined a successful design to play off its good points and improve it where he could. He’s stretched the waterline and hollowed it forward, and with his engineering team has developed a hybrid keel that uses a combination of iron for economy and rigidity with lead to put the weight where it’s wanted.
While the deck’s appearance reflects a redesign of the cockpit and restyling to match Hunter’s current theme, the rig is characteristic still: the backstayless B&R arrangement that supports a high-roach mainsail.
A couple of couples will find the accommodations both cozy and capacious enough for coastal cruising and weekending.
