The 2006 Hunter 31 is a fiberglass cruising sailboat built with short-handed sailing in mind. Her 31-foot length and 11-foot beam create a stable platform that feels spacious and forgiving under sail. The shoal draft of 3 feet 11 inches makes her well suited to shallow water cruising. A Yanmar diesel engine rated at 21 horsepower provides auxiliary power, backed by an 18-gallon fuel tank and 33-gallon water capacity.
Sail handling is straightforward thanks to in-mast mainsail furling and a furling headsail, both controlled by four self-tailing winches with all lines led aft to the cockpit. The large aft cockpit features a wheel with pedestal steering, integrated cockpit table, and storage lockers. A walk-through transom with integrated swim platform facilitates boarding and water access. Navigation equipment includes a chartplotter, autopilot, VHF radio, depth sounder, speed log, and wind instrument.
Below deck, the layout prioritizes natural light with large cabin ports and overhead hatches throughout. The main salon combines a convertible dinette with a well-equipped L-shaped galley featuring a two-burner stove, top-loading refrigerator, microwave, and stainless steel sink with hot and cold water. The galley is designed for safe use while underway.
The boat sleeps four to six with a forward V-berth, an aft cabin with double berth, and convertible dinette seating. An enclosed head compartment includes a marine toilet, vanity sink, shower, and holding tank with deck pump-out. A hot water heater serves the pressurized water system. Power comes from a 12V DC electrical panel, 110V AC shore power system, and multiple battery banks. Additional equipment includes a bimini top, dodger, anchor with rode, and swim ladder.
