Production
The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States between 1980-1983, but it is now out of production.[1][2]
Design
The Hunter 36 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 13,500 lb (6,123 kg) and carries 6,000 lb (2,722 kg) of ballast.[1]
The boat has a draft of 4.92 ft (1.50 m) with the standard keel fitted. The boat is fitted with an inboard diesel engine.[1]
The design features two private cabins, one forward and one aft, a head with a shower, a U-shaped dining area which converts to a berth, a galley with an oven and a two-burner stove, plus an icebox that can be accessed from the cockpit while under way. The jib is roller furling and dual two-speed, self-tailing winches are provided as standard equipment.[4]
The design has a hull speed of 7.28 kn (13.48 km/h).[5]
