Just launch it, bend on the sails, and you are sailing. This Sailboat is great for day sails, weekend getaways or live aboard boat, as the cabins below sleep 5 people easily. In addition to its numerous sleeping berths, the Hunter 27 comes equipped with everything you need to enjoy your boating 'get-away' at the Marina: built-in shore power with AC outlets inside boat, power cord to Marina power supply. Origo 2-burner alcohol stove, huge built-in icebox for food/drink, cupboards, sinks, large dining table which folds-up and out of the way when not in use, private cabin/bathroom which is totally enclosed with marine toilet (flushes with water supplied boat's built-in fresh water tank)and sink vanity, and more.Cabin Layout:In the main cabin to port is a quarter berth, a teak navigation station with storage, and a settee. On the starboard side is a galley, including a sink, alcohol stove and large icebox. Forward of the galley is another settee with storage and a fold down teak table for dining. The table spans the aisle to allow full dining accomodations for at least 4 adults, while sitting on the settees. Forward of the main cabin is the Privacy Cabin, or the head compartment, totally private with teak sliding door to main cabin, and sliding teak panels to separate the head compartment from the v-berth. The head compartment is equipped with sink and marine toilet with storage spaces. Forward is the V berth, which sleeps two comfortably with fresh water tank beneath the bed. All settee cushions are included. The cabinets, doors and trim are teak.
Equipment: Equipped with wheel steering, and a strong, good-running original Yanmar 1GM diesel engine. Both the seasoned sailor, and the novice sailor should find it easy to handle the boat in/out of the slip, and over the waves. It is easy to sail, as all control lines are led back to the cockpit, including the roller-furling line to roll-in and roll-out the foresail. The roller-furling unit is probably original, and still works. The boom is attached, with the mulit-block mainsheet rigged and ready. There is also a danforth anchor with line, and a few dock lines included. Sails: (3) There is a 150% roller-furling Genoa, there is a full batten main sail with sail cover, and a mylar tri-color jib sail included. Jib sheets included with the roller-furling jib.Autopilot: comes with an Autopilot WP4000 auotpilot on box, with components. I do not know if this works, as it was part of the 'deal' when I bought the boat, as I was told that it did work the last time the previous owner sailed the boat. Condition of Boat: General structure: This boat is structurally sound, with excellent hull and keel. All the keel bolts are shiny stainless steel, and are not corroded. The engine runs strong, and the water circulation is working properly, etc. The wheel steering, rudder, are both functioning properly. The driveshaft and gears, shifters, throttle, etc, are all work perfectly. Topsides: solid structurally, but the deck and the cockpit can use steel wooling, cleaner, etc. The topsides teak rails are in good shape, but need to be oiled/sealed each year. The aluminum rub rails are in excellent shape, as are all the line blocks, etc. The mast and the stays are in fine condition, with no separations or crack, etc.The cabins below have lots of teak in excellent condition, and it has remained beautiful over time. (see pix!).The hull of this boat is in very good conditon. It is solid, and well-designed by John Cherubini, one of the world's most renowned boat builders. Warren Luhrs, Hunter Marine, built the boat, and it has endured, it has stood the test of time. The hull's sides and bottom do not have blisters, and are in excellent condition. We recently bottom-painted the hull with the usual anti-fouling protectorant-type paint, and it still looks good. (see pix). The topsides paint could use a good steel-wooling and re-pain, as it is starting to flake some, and should be done...the structure underneath is solid as the rest of the hull.The engine runs like a dream: see and hear the purr of the Yanmar by watching a YouTube video by entering the following words into the YouTube search window: Yanmar running for Martin.The sails(3) are in excellent crisp condition, and do not need repaired. There are two sail bags included.The wheel steering is very smooth, and the steering cable on the wheel has been recently replaced.Reason for selling: At this time, we unfortunately cannot afford to take the the time away from our business, which is recovering from loss due to a flood, ...to enjoy just being at the boat/Marina, and/or just go sailing.
