Accommodation

Below decks is warm and welcoming thanks to the perfect blend of interior woodwork and neutral upholstery. The main cabin is accessed from the saloon via a stainless-steel ladder with teak steps. You are immediately impressed by the headroom and the functionality of the layout. To port is a chart table/navigation area with seat, chart storage, weather instruments and 12V panel.
to starboard is the L-Shaped galley with the Hunter Boats signature curved worktops, stainless steel sinks and plentiful deep cupboard storage. There is a gas fuelled, Plastimo Neptune 2000 oven with 2-burner hob and separate grill. 12V fridge with freezer capabilities.
The main saloon features two deep, well upholstered settees either side of a drop leaved table. The back rests are hinged and can be raised which makes the resultant berth space larger and the back rest can be secured in place to make an additional bunk. Both settee berths are fitted with lee cloths for inclement weather sailing.
In the bow is the bow cabin with V-Berth which can made into a double by adding an infill. There is an opening deck hatch for additional light and ventilation and 12V lighting throughout.
Returning to the saloon and moving aft of the galley is the rear cabin again with a large double berth, hanging and shelved storage and a very useful opening side hatch into the cockpit. This allows excellent air flow. Again, 12V lighting as standard along with 3-pin sockets.
Aft of the chart table is the spacious heads with Jabsco sea toilet with twist’n’lock flush handle, moulded sink unit with storage below and a hot and cold shower with sump pump out. Wet locker stowage.
