She's the popular twin keel version of the Hunter Pilot 27 and is ideal for all year round sailing with both internal and external steering.
OWNERS COMMENTS
"Half Moon" with her bilge keels, manageable rig for singlehanders and modern chart plotter is ideal for the East Coast. I have particularly enjoyed sitting below decks at anchor with a panoramic view out from the large deckhouse windows. A terrific boat for all seasons.
