A 36 ft 8 in fractional sloop designed by Glenn Henderson, built from 2004. She carries 12 ft 11 in beam, 6 ft 6 in draft and 18,342 lb displacement. Hull form is fin with a spade rudder.

Hunter built in Alachua, Florida and aimed at volume production cruising boats with generous accommodation for the length. They are plentiful and affordable on the used market, and the brand continued as Marlow-Hunter after 2012. The figures below come from owners who logged work on this boat here.
