2012 Hunter 50

The 2012 Hunter 50 is a 50-foot fiberglass sailing yacht built for comfortable cruising with thoughtful design that balances ease of handling with full-boat capability. The hull employs a fiberglass and balsa sandwich construction above the waterline with a solid fiberglass bottom, reinforced with a structural grid. Key to its reputation is the aft cockpit layout with a full enclosure, generous seating, and stainless steel traveler arch that positions all sheets and halyards at the helm. The rigging features Hunter's backstayless B&R system, three electric winches, battened full-roach main with in-mast furling, and self-tacking foresail options. A 110-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine with approximately 800 hours of service provides auxiliary power. The boat displaces 36,945 pounds with a 12,500-pound ballast and draws 5 feet 6 inches, holding 162 gallons of fuel, 194 gallons of freshwater, and 52 gallons of waste capacity.

The interior encompasses three cabins with 6 feet 9 inches of headroom throughout, two heads with separate shower compartments, and a full-beam master suite. The main salon features large windows, LED lighting, and a convertible dinette table. The galley is well-equipped with a three-burner LPG stove, oven, dual refrigerators, and two deep freezers. A Raymarine navigation suite was upgraded in 2021–2022, and a washer and dryer are installed in the main cabin.

Systems aboard include a 110-amp battery charger, two 39-gallon water heaters, an 11.5 kW Fischer Panda generator, 400 watts of solar panels, and three air conditioning units serving the forward stateroom, salon, and aft cabins. An electric windlass handles the anchor system. Cosmetic and functional upgrades from 2023 include a dinghy davit and solar installation. The boat was kept in freshwater only until 2019 and has been moored in saltwater no more than three months annually since. The deck includes two Dorade vents, a fixed windshield with two fixed ports and six opening ports with screens, ten opening hatches with screens, stainless steel handrails, a swim platform with telescoping ladder, and extensive storage throughout.
