2005 Hunter 41 Aft Cockpit

The 2005 Hunter 41 Aft Cockpit is a fiberglass cruising sailboat built for extended passagemaking and coastal exploration. She measures 41 feet in length with a 13.25-foot beam and carries twin 56 hp Yanmar diesel engines, delivering a cruising speed of 6 knots and a maximum speed near 8 knots. The aft cockpit layout provides excellent helm visibility and working room, while her bright, spacious interior reflects Hunter's thoughtful cabin design.

The interior includes two cabins and two heads, offering comfortable sleeping and sanitary arrangements for extended voyages. The boat has been thoroughly equipped for self-sufficient cruising, with a Katadyn watermaker, 600 Ah battery bank, 535 W total solar capacity (original 270 W plus 400 W added in 2023), and a Xantrex Freedom HF inverter for power management. A Starlink system provides modern connectivity while underway.

Sailing performance is enhanced with a Selden mast, fully-battened mainsail with stack pack, a 120% genoa, free-flying staysail, and a stainless steel bowsprit. The rig carries over-specification Dyform shrouds replaced in 2024, and a Maxwell RC8 windlass handles ground tackle. Deck hardware includes a custom stainless arch with davits for tender support.

Recent work from 2023 through 2026 encompasses a Garmin Echomap UHD chartplotter, new rigging, freshwater and propane systems, freezer controls, bilge pump, rudder sensor, and various electrical upgrades. Interior cushions in the saloon and settee were replaced in 2024. The boat is ready for immediate use.
