Hunter 36

The Hunter 36 is an American sailboat that was designed by John Cherubini as a cruising sailboat and first built in 1980.

The design can be confused with the 1990 Hunter 36 Vision, 2008 Hunter 36-2 (sold as the Hunter 36) and the 2001 Hunter 36 Legend, all sailboats with similar names by the same builder.

Production
The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States between 1980-1983, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Hunter 36 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 13500 lb and carries 6000 lb of ballast.

The boat has a draft of 4.92 ft with the standard keel fitted. The boat is fitted with an inboard diesel engine.

The design features two private cabins, one forward and one aft, a head with a shower, a U-shaped dining area which converts to a berth, a galley with an oven and a two-burner stove, plus an icebox that can be accessed from the cockpit while under way. The jib is roller furling and dual two-speed, self-tailing winches are provided as standard equipment.

The design has a hull speed of 7.28 kn.
