The Hunter 36 Vision is an American sailboat designed for cruising and first built in 1990.[1][2][3]

The design can be confused with the 1980 Hunter 36, 2008 Hunter 36-2 (sold as the Hunter 36) and the 2001 Hunter 36 Legend, all sailboats with similar names by the same builder.[2]

Production

The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States between 1990 and 1995, but it is now out of production.[1][2]

Design

The Hunter 36 Vision is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a free-standing fractional sloop rig, with a fully battened mainsail, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed wing keel. It displaces 15,500 lb (7,031 kg) and carries 5,900 lb (2,676 kg) of ballast.[1]

The boat has a draft of 4.67 ft (1.42 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1]

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine. The fuel tank holds 35 U.S. gallons (130 L; 29 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 75 U.S. gallons (280 L; 62 imp gal).[1]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 144 with a high of 150 and low of 135. It has a hull speed of 7.46 kn (13.82 km/h).[4]
