Hunter 37 Legend

The Hunter 37 Legend is an American sailboat that was designed by Hunter Marine founder Warren Luhrs and first built in 1986.

The Hunter 37 Legend is sometimes confused with the unrelated 1978 Hunter 37 design.

Production
The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States between 1986 and 1989 (https://www.marlow-hunter.com/our-fleet/previous-models/), but it is now out of production.

Design
The Hunter 37 Legend is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional wing keel. It displaces 14900 lb and carries 6000 lb of ballast.

The boat has a draft of 6.67 ft with the standard keel and 4.75 ft with the optional shoal draft wing keel.

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 3HM35F diesel engine of 34 hp. The fuel tank holds 33 u.s.gal and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 71 u.s.gal.

The wing keel version of the design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 108 with a high of 121 and low of 99. All models have hull speeds of 7.5 kn.
