A BIT OF HISTORY AND WHY THIS BOAT MAKES YOUR HEART BEAT FASTER!

Its all about the tall, fractional rig - a direct descendant of the B&R rig that powered Hunter's Child to a second place finish in the BOC Challenge.

The mast was engineered to carry less weight aloft with smaller sections. Note the swept-back spreaders and reverse diagonals and mast support struts. What that means is increased stability and strength minus a backstay.

A "large roach" main is the power sail. Ease of sail handling and versatility to face the demands of unpredictable sea and wind conditions.

***MAST HEIGHT 55'9" from DWL

***SHOAL DRAFT 4' 6"

***AUTOPILOT (in box)

All lines are led aft for short-handed sailing and the coaming wells keep it all organized.

THIS ONE NEEDS SOME TLC BUT OVERALL IT CAN BE BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE. THE BOAT IS A DELIGHT!

She is everything you think of when your mind is thinking about the perfect sailboat.

The owner of this boat has enjoyed sailing both locally and along the Atlantic Seaboard. Unfortunately the boat must be sold. .

SELLER WILL CONSIDER ALL FAIR OFFERS AND WILLING TO NEGOTIATE

You board the boat by way of a generous swim platform and walk-through transom - its easy to see how the Luhrs family translated power boat conveniences into sailboat design.

There is a folding ladder for boarding the boat or the tender which the owner generously offers to go with the boat.

Another convenience for your guests is the shower at the transom for a quick spritz after a swim.

Step on board and enjoy spacious seating. The owner described the seating arrangement to me as a "hot tub" design of the cockpit. It allows the captain at the helm to remain in the conversation flowing all around.

An integrated arch protects the cockpit from too much fun in the sun with the optional bimini.

A custom console is front and center with a standard VHF. There is a single lever control and fold down table along with engine instrumentation and gauges.

Stern perches port and starboard offer fantastic views and the feeling of being right on the water itself. How fun is that!

Non skid deck keeps you sure footed.
Large roach main sail (in mast) and jib
Nautical blue canvases - in very good condition

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A LIVE-ABOARD CONSIDER THIS 2001 HUNTER 340! IT'S GOT EVERYTHING YOU NEED.

NOV 2019: The mainsail has been removed, taken to my sailmaker for repair, maintenance and winter storage. Th

e cockpit pads have been stored inside the vessel.

The Mercury O/B is currently winterized - work done by a boat yard. A new carburetor installed in 2016.

The dinghy by West Marine has a very small air leak which Seller cannot find. By that Seller means - it's good for 2-3 weeks before you can notice a difference.
