1989 Hunter Legend 37

This 1989 Hunter Legend 37 is a fiberglass cruising sailboat built for extended voyages and comfortable family sailing. At 37 feet 6 inches with a 12-foot 10-inch beam, the boat combines moderate displacement of 14,900 pounds with responsive handling and a hull speed of 7.4 knots. Power comes from a Yanmar 3HM35F diesel inboard engine rated at 30 horsepower, with estimated engine hours between 2,200 and 2,500. A flex-coupled propeller system with transmission upgrades supports reliable performance.

The accommodation plan features two cabins with an aft stateroom containing its own head, a forward V-berth, and a dinette suitable for dining. Tankage includes 33 gallons of fuel, 71 gallons of fresh water, and a 25-gallon holding tank. The boat carries twin 245-amp-hour house batteries and a dedicated engine-start battery, supported by 395 watts of solar panels installed in 2024 and a Victron MPPT charge controller with mobile monitoring.

Electronics center on a new Raymarine Hybrid Touch E7 chart plotter at the helm paired with a Garmin GPSmap 182c, an ST6002 autopilot, and Raymarine wind instruments from 2018. Navigation and communication include a Combi VHF radio and handheld ICON VHF. Below decks, the boat has a gas stove with three-burner cooktop, Nova Cool refrigeration, and LED lighting throughout. Sails consist of a 2017 Evolution genoa, 2014 UK mainsail, and 2015 stack pack system on a fractional rig with a custom Foss foam rudder. Exterior features include newer canvas and skylight lenses, a bimini with dodger, Edson wheel, walk-through transom, and a Magma BBQ. Dingy davits, cockpit cushions, and a teak table complete the setup.

The boat has benefited from consistent upgrades documented in a detailed maintenance logbook. Recent improvements include engine mounts and ancillary systems, new hatch and port light lenses, a newer rudder system, and updates to battery and power generation. The canvas, rigging, and propeller have all been replaced or refurbished within the last decade, supporting long-distance cruising capability.
