Production model
Hunter 49
Built by Hunter
A 49 ft 11 in fractional sloop designed by Glenn Henderson/Hunter Design Team, built from 2007. She carries 14 ft 9 in beam, 5 ft 6 in draft and 32,813 lb displacement. Hull form is wing keel.
The wing keel trades some upwind bite for draft, which matters more in thin water than it does on a racecourse. 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.
