The Hunter 30 is an American sailboat that was designed by John Cherubini as a cruising boat and first built in 1973.[1] [2] [3]

The boat was also supplied as an unfinished kit for amateur completion as the Quest 30.[1]

The Hunter 30 was the first design marketed by the manufacturer under that name. Later boats with the same name are commonly referred to as the Hunter 30-2 and Hunter 30T to differentiate them from the earlier unrelated design. Adding to the confusion, the 2006 Hunter 31-2 was also marketed as the Hunter 30.[1] [4] [5] [6]

Production

The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States between 1973 and 1983, but it is now out of production. During its ten-year production run 1,000 examples were completed.[1] [7]

Design

The Hunter 30 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel, shoal-draft keel, or a keel and centerboard combination. It displaces 97000NaN0 and carries 41000NaN0 of ballast.[1]

The boat has a draft of 5.25feet with the standard keel and 4.3feet with the optional shoal draft keel. A tall mast version was produced for lighter wind areas, with a mast about 2.8feet higher. The boat was factory-fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine.[1]

The design features a galley with a two-burner stove, sink, hot and cold water, a head with a stand-up shower, vanity and sink, nine port lights with bug screens, double life lines and a teak and holly cabin sole.[3]

The centerboard version of the design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 186, while the shoal draft version of the design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 192. The tall mast version of the design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 180 and the tall mast version with the shoal draft keel has a PHRF racing average handicap of 192. All versions have a hull speed of 6.82NaN2.[8] [9] [10] [11] [12]
