2001 Marlow-Hunter 320

The Marlow-Hunter 320 is a 32-foot fiberglass cruising sailyacht designed for comfortable and straightforward sailing. The self-bailing cockpit accommodates six adults plus helmsman, with a fold-down seat providing access to the swim platform. Built around a Selden mast with double spreaders and a B&R rig, the boat uses a multiple diamond stay configuration with a stainless steel mast strut that eliminates the need for a backstay. This setup provides strong support for the boom and spinnaker while delivering solid upwind performance through the 7/8ths fractional sail plan.

The cabin offers 6'4" of standing headroom and is lit throughout by multiple ports and cabin hatches. The aft stateroom spans the beam with sleeping for two, while the forward cabin features a double berth with hanging locker. The main salon holds an 86-inch L-shaped dinette to starboard and a 65-inch settee to port that converts to a single berth. The galley features Corian countertops, cabinets, an ice box with refrigeration, a two-burner LPG stove with oven, and a microwave. The navigation station includes a 29-by-20-inch chart table. The head is equipped with a fiberglass sink, hot and cold water, a handheld shower, and a 20-gallon holding tank.

Power comes from an 18-horsepower Yanmar 2GM20F inboard diesel with a 27-gallon fuel tank, three-bladed bronze propeller, and a new starter. The boat maneuvers easily from tight slips and turns within her own length. Sail handling is managed through self-tailing primary and secondary winches with lines leading aft through clutches to the cockpit, a traveler, and boom vang. The mainsail includes stackpack and lazy jacks, with a furling headsail and asymmetrical spinnaker. Equipment includes an autopilot, VHF and AM/FM radios, knot meter, depth sounder, dual 12-volt batteries with a 110-volt charger, 50-gallon fresh water tank, 30-amp shore power, and air conditioning. The boat includes a steel cradle.
