stock #391985 reason for selling is "lifestyle changes - no longer using". this hunter has now been on the market more than a month. please submit your offer today! classic 1994 hunter sailboat that has lots of upgrades added like most hunter sailboats, the hunter 29.5 offers maximum accommodations, a large comfortable cockpit, and reasonable sailing performance at an affordable price. the hunter 29.5 was designed by hunter's in-house staff under rob mazza. it exemplifies a boat that appears to have been designed from the inside out rather than from the outside in. like all production boats in this size range, the hunter 29.5 is constructed from fiberglass composites utilizing a modular type of construction. the hull, deck, structural grid, and interior components are molded separately and then assembled into the finished product with structural adhesives or secondary bonds of fiberglass and resin. the deck is cored with balsa wood, and the hull is a solid composite. there is a nice solid clear windshield which makes steering and navigating an easy task and also an upgraded hard top that will last a very long time. also located atop the helm is a set of solar panels with a jupiter inverter. the 29.5 has a rather large cockpit for her size that opens at the stern to a molded swim platform. at anchor, this becomes an integral part of the cockpit adding even more usable space. this is one of the 29.5's more appealing features, and it makes getting in and out of the water or dinghy quite easy. wheel steering is at the helm at the aft end of the cockpit, and there are two seats incorporated into the stern rail for passenger seating. although the seller has upgraded the wooden steering wheel, the stock wheel is included with this purchase. because the side decks are narrow with rigging shrouds at the deck edge, to go forward, the best path is over the cabin trunk. the foredeck has a small anchor locker which will accommodate a 13-pound danforth with chain leader and 100 feet of half-inch rode. there are also two sturdy anchor rollers forward. this vessel houses three anchors. below deck, the cabin is wide open with the only privacy offered by a fully enclosed head. there is a v-berth forward, and the main saloon features a large u-shaped dinette that comfortably seats four adults. the head and a small hanging locker are to starboard, and the galley is to port with a two-burner non-pressurized alcohol stove, a refrigerator, and a single sink. aft and below the cockpit is an athwartship double berth. auxiliary power is provided by a two-cylinder, 18 hp yanmar diesel contained in an engine box beneath the companionway steps. this workhorse of an engine dominates the market in boats of this size and is very dependable. quick access for maintenance is limited but, if necessary, the engine box can be removed easily for more serious work. the 29.5 is designed with simplicity in mind, and the large mainsail and small fractional jib certainly make tacking and sail handling a breeze for the short-handed or single-handed sailor. included you'll find an autopilot as well as an autohelm handheld steering device without a traveler, the mainsheet attaches to the steering console directly in front of the helmsman. sheet winches are also within easy reach of the helm. the b&r rig features long spreaders that are swept back 30 degrees eliminating a backstay. this necessitates tacking downwind to avoid impaling the mainsail on the spreaders, but i think that most would not find this much of an inconvenience. with the proper tacking angles, this can actually be a faster way to sail downwind. inquire with your representative to find out more items that this seller is including with the sale of this beautiful boat! contact your representative to find out all of the extras included with the sale of this gorgeous vessel. call today while she's available! it's a must-see!! while we will always attempt to provide you with a true representation of every vessel we market, during any purchase from pop you will be encouraged to schedule an inspection from an independent, accredited surveyor and every purchase will always be subject to your satisfaction with the results from your independent survey and your own personal trial run. we have several more catalina, beneteau, morgan, and ericson yachts vessels for sale. if you're in the pensacola, biloxi, ferry pass, or bellview areas, please contact us to let us know what you're looking for and we'll get back with you today about any other sloop sailboat options we have locally that may meet your needs. we are looking for people all over the country who share our love for boats and rvs. if you like the idea of working for yourself from home, please visit wherefreedomtakesyou [dot] com to learn more about how we do what we do. you have questions? we have answers. call us at (941) 548-7496 to discuss this vessel today.
