Hunter 31

Innovation in design, excellence in engineering, and an incredible layout make the Hunter 310 a great midsize cruiser. Great natural light is plentiful throughout the cabin with multiple hatches and screened ports. Entertaining or dining, the salon can handle family or friends with ease. The large dinette easily converts to a double for extended families and the settees offer plenty of storage as well.

Topsides, the Hunter 310 has a cockpit that allows all the crew to participate or kick back as they desire. The stern rail seats are up and out of the way, and a custom console houses the standard VHF and instruments as well as the engine controls and compass. There is plenty of storage under the seating. The helm seat hinges aft, leading onto the walkthrough transom complete with propane tank storage and a retractable swim ladder with a cockpit shower. This layout keeps the cockpit clear, uncluttered, and ready for action.

Going forward, there are serious nonskid and clear side decks due to the innovative rig arrangement. The B & R fractional rig, with its swept-back spreaders, eliminates the need for a backstay. Mast struts and reverse diagonals give all the strength needed while allowing for a smaller section aloft. For the sailor, this means more stability.

Hunter Marine's keel boats are the backbone of the Hunter fleet. These spacious and comfortable cruisers are incredibly appointed from the rich fabrics to the top-grade hardware. Hunter Marine was founded in 1973 to build truly affordable sailboats. Warren Luhrs, Hunter's chairman, has personally logged thousands of ocean miles both single-handedly and shorthanded aboard his ocean racers. From these floating laboratories hundreds of new ideas have been born. The same B & R rig that powered his boats into the record books also power the Hunter fleet. Hunter Marine continues its commitment of bringing the sailing public the best performing and most accommodating sailboats at a reasonable price.
