The Hunter 326 is an American recreational keelboat that was designed by Glenn Henderson for cruising and first built in 2001. With an overall length just short of 32 feet, it is constructed predominantly of fiberglass with a fractional sloop B&R rig, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel.
The boat is fitted with a Yanmar 2GMF diesel engine of 18 hp and has a designed hull speed of 7.13 knots. Factory standard equipment included a roller furling 110% genoa and in-mast furling mainsail.
What do we love about this boat? The patented B & R rig, which dispenses with a backstay, means the cockpit is uncluttered and feels more spacious than her 32′ LOA suggests. Traditionalist might sneer at in-mast mainsail furling but the ease of deploying and reefing the mainsail is a blessing on long charter days!
Grace is the newest and largest addition to our fleet to support longer charters and overnight ASA courses. She sports 39’3” LOA and a roomy 13’1” beam. Add almost 6’6’’ headroom in the salon, three spacious cabins and twin heads; and you can see why she is perfect for cruising and an ideal platform for acquiring bareboat chartering experience.
Gaining stability from her wide beam, she has a thinner shoal draft iron keel which makes the boat lighter and faster, approaching 10 knots SOG in favorable wind and tide. A 55 HP Yanmar 4JH4E engine is more than enough to achieve her hull speed and make headway against the current.
What do we love about this boat? Grace provides an ideal mix of performance and living arrangements for short to medium term coastal cruising. Her ICW friendly 5’1” draft provides additional flexibility for the East Coast and Caribbean cruising.
Designed by the prolific Simonis/Voogd design team, this boat was built and marketed by Voyage Yachts & Maxim Yachts in Durban, South Africa, and has all the essentials for extended cruising or having a fun day out. Her 37’ length overall and 20’ beam allows larger groups stretch out and enjoy the scenery from one of many vantage points forward or aft.
Windward’s Cat has three double cabins, heads, and a spacious galley, making her suitable for our bareboat and catamaran cruising classes. If that is not your thing, this boat was built for celebrating special occasions on the water with family and friends.
What we love about this boat: In one word, flexibility! With her twin engines set far apart you can turn this boat on a dime. The amount of deck space available allows passengers the flexibility of soaking up the sun and seeing attractions from the deck and nets up front or opting for some shade under the bimini in a spacious cockpit.
