Hunter 36 Legend

Designed by Glen Henderson and built by Hunter Marine starting in 2001, this 36-footer represents Hunter's commitment to creating accessible cruising sailboats for the recreational market. The Legend features a modern fin keel with spade rudder configuration and fiberglass construction, delivering predictable handling characteristics that appeal to both newer sailors and experienced cruisers seeking comfort over racing performance. With a displacement of 14,220 pounds and 5,075 pounds of ballast, the Hunter 36 Legend offers stability for coastal cruising and short offshore passages. The boat's 12.34-foot beam provides generous interior volume, a hallmark of Hunter's design philosophy that prioritizes livability. Her sail area of 721 square feet and Bermuda rigged configuration deliver adequate performance for cruising, while the theoretical hull speed of 7.52 knots matches expectations for a moderate displacement cruiser. The comfort ratio of 23.59 indicates this boat prioritizes ease of motion over racing speed, making it well-suited for extended coastal cruising and weekend sailing. The capsize screening formula of 2.04 suggests reasonable stability for protected waters and moderate conditions. Hunter Marine built a reputation for value-oriented cruising boats, and the 36 Legend continues this tradition with practical features and straightforward systems that appeal to cruising sailors seeking reliability over cutting-edge performance.
