Description
This 2006 Hunter Legend 31 combines spacious accommodation with practical, easily managed cruising performance. Her bilge-keel configuration is well suited to shallow harbours and drying moorings, while the generous interior provides two separate double cabins, additional saloon berths, a practical galley and separate heads. Powered by a 21hp Yanmar diesel, she offers an excellent opportunity for couples or families seeking a versatile coastal cruiser with plenty of space aboard.
DESCRIPTION
The Hunter/Legend 31 is in a rare class of her own, being a modern bilge keeler which offers good accommodation for a 31 footer and which also sails well. Built in the UK, she offers a classic finish down below, and the American design ensures plenty of space with generous beds, a large galley and spacious heads/shower compartment. On deck, the cockpit is spacious, and the trademark "Legend Arch" means that the mainsheet is out of harms way and easy for the helmsman to reach for short-handed sailing. Overall, these are designed to be comfortable and easy to sail for couples, and the bilge keels offer the opportunity for creek-crawling and drying moorings to save on mooring costs.
