Owner's comments
Used Hunter 356 for sale
I am selling my Hunter 356 sailboat from 2002 in excellent condition, ideal for safe and comfortable sailing. This boat offers 2 double cabins as well as a saloon convertible into a double berth, perfect for family cruises or trips with friends.
History and maintenance of Hunter Marine
The Hunter Marine shipyard, founded in 1974 in the United States, is renowned for its sailboats combining performance, comfort, and robustness. The Hunter 356 model was produced between 1999 and 2005, with a solid reputation for reliability and versatility. This boat was designed for sailors seeking a balance between interior space and maneuverability, with a sturdy construction and durable materials.
Technical specifications and dimensions
This Hunter 356 measures 10.80 meters in length with a beam of 3.66 meters and a draft of 1.46 meters thanks to its lead keel, ensuring excellent stability. Its rigging and hull are optimized for sailing at all points of sail and in varied conditions.
Sails and rigging
The sail plan includes a full-batten mainsail in good condition, with 2 automatic reefing points and a luff with 4 battens on ball-bearing cars. The roller-furling genoa is also in good condition, complemented by a symmetric spinnaker and an unused 8 m² storm jib.
Engine and propulsion
The boat is equipped with a Yanmar 27 HP engine with 1,750 hours on the meter, offering optimized fuel consumption of 2 liters per hour. Regular maintenance includes oil changes and filters every 100 hours, as well as a replacement of the seal and saildrive oil change in 2022. The Kiwiprop 3-blade propeller ensures excellent efficiency, and the 140-liter stainless steel diesel tank provides comfortable autonomy.
Electricity and autonomy
The electrical system is based on 4 x 110 Ah service batteries (2020) and a 75 Ah engine battery (2020). A 220V automatic charger, a 100-amp alternator charger, and 2 x 100W solar panels ensure optimal autonomy for the fridge, autopilot, and lighting. The system also includes a adjustable stainless steel arch and 12V LED lighting.
Electronics and navigation
The electronic equipment is comprehensive, featuring a Raymarine ST40 Tri-data speed log, depth sounder, and wind instrument, paired with a fixed ICOM GPS/VHF. It also includes a Raymarine chartplotter, an AIS, a radar, a Raymarine ST6000 hydraulic ram autopilot, as well as a Navtex and a portable VHF.
Deck equipment and safety
The deck is equipped with an electric windlass with 50 meters of 10 mm chain and a 16 kg FOB anchor. The 4 serviced Lewmar winches (2x40St and 2x36St) complement a rigid vang and a wheel steering system. Safety is enhanced with a full set of equipment: flares, fire extinguisher, 2 harnesses, 2 inflatable life jackets, and 6 life vests, all certified for offshore sailing with 6 people.
Interior comfort and layout
The interior is spacious and well-designed, featuring a large saloon convertible into a double berth, a forward double cabin, and a spacious aft cabin (200x160 cm mattress) with ample storage. Equipment includes a 2-burner stove with oven, a 110L fridge, a double sink, a 220V microwave, and a shower with partition. Hot and cold pressurized water is available, with two tanks (120L and 165L).
Why is this Hunter 356 a good choice?
This Hunter 356 is a smart choice for sailors looking for a reliable, spacious, and well-equipped sailboat. Its strengths include a recent Yanmar engine, sails in excellent condition, an autonomous electrical system thanks to solar panels, and a high-performance autopilot. Its well-designed interior and ample storage make it a practical boat for long cruises. Finally, its rigorous maintenance since 2022 ensures worry-free sailing.
