1987 Hunter Legend 35.5

A 1987 Hunter Legend 35.5 sailboat built in fiberglass with solid cruising credentials. The boat measures 35.5 feet and is powered by a Yanmar three-cylinder diesel engine producing 27 horsepower, paired with an Autoprop three-blade propeller. After sitting unused for five to six years, the boat has undergone a comprehensive $20,000 maintenance program including full engine service, shaft service with new shaft log, zincs replaced, propeller service, bottom cleaning and repainting, stanchion repair, new through-hulls, and upholstery work.

The sailing inventory is substantial, featuring a Halsey full-batten main and roller-furling jib (sun-guard requires repair), plus additional sails including a Doyle main, 150 Quantum genoa, and cruising spinnaker. Deck equipment includes six self-tailing primary and trimming winches, upgraded 3/16-inch lifelines with pelican clips, a Schaeffer main-trim system and crosstraveler, Schaeffer lazyjacks, Garhauer boomvang, and four winch handles. Navigation and communication equipment include a Garmin GPS/chart plotter and VHF radio.

Below, the boat holds a 70-gallon water tank with a 6-gallon hot water heater, a 27-gallon fuel tank, and new black-water tank. The 20-amp battery charger powers dual optimum batteries for starter and hotel systems. Additional equipment includes an Arctic heater, hand bilge pump, rebuilt water pump, Raycor fuel filter, two anchors (30-pound Danforth and Bruce) with substantial rode, four fenders, life rings, boat hook, and new dock lines. The boat also includes an oversized ship's wheel with leather wrap and canvas cover, teak table for the cockpit, teak whale-watching seat for the bow pulpit, and bosun chair. Manuals and records for the boat, electronics, and accessories are included.

Some finishing work remains: water, stove, and heater tanks require inspection and service, winches need cleaning and lubrication, a few lines may need replacement, several ports and hatches need resealing, and the jib sun-guard requires repair.
