2000 Hunter 290

The Hunter 290 is a 28-foot cruising sailboat built with a fiberglass hull and designed for comfortable coastal cruising. Her generous beam of nearly 11 feet carries well aft, creating a spacious cockpit with deep, angled coamings and integral stern rail seating. The deck layout includes a B&R backstayless rig with a battened mainsail featuring a large roach, headsail furling, self-tailing winches, and rack and pinion steering.

Below deck, the 290 offers two private cabins and one head with shower, served by a full galley and a dedicated navigation station. The salon is described as extremely comfortable, with abundant headroom of 6'2" throughout. Eight opening hatches and ports flood the interior with natural light and provide excellent ventilation, while hardwood accents enhance the overall finish.

Standard equipment includes bronze seacocks, a composite shaft rudder, and an 18-horsepower Yanmar inboard diesel engine. The boat draws just 5 feet 6 inches, making her well-suited to shallow-draft cruising. A custom console in the cockpit features folding table leaves and drink holders, adding to the practical comfort of time spent on deck.
