1980 Hunter 30 Sailboat

1980 Hunter 30 Sailboat
Location: Hamilton, Ontario

Looking for an affordable 30-foot sailboat with a diesel engine, a good sail inventory and plenty of room below? This 1980 Hunter 30 offers a lot of boat for the money and would be an excellent opportunity for a hands-on sailor willing to take on some deck work.

Designed by John Cherubini, the original Hunter 30 has developed a loyal following as a practical and spacious cruiser/racer. With a traditional masthead sloop rig, fin keel and skeg-mounted rudder, the design combines comfortable cruising accommodations with enjoyable sailing performance.

This particular boat is powered by a Yanmar diesel engine that is in good working order and comes well equipped with a substantial inventory of sails and gear.

Sails & Rigging:

• Harken roller furling system
• Full Genoa
• No. 3 Genoa / storm sail
• Racing spinnaker
• Two mainsails
• Whisker pole
• Various sheets and lines
• Whether you're looking to cruise or participate in some club racing, the sail inventory gives the next owner plenty of options.

Equipment:

• Danforth anchor
• Automatic bilge pump
• Boat hook
• Ice box
• Gimballed stove
• New fuel lines

Interior & Accommodations:
One of the strengths of the classic Hunter 30 is the amount of usable space packed into a 30-foot boat.

This boat features:

• V-berth
• Quarter berth
• Single berth
• Double berth
• New interior cushions in 2020
• New head in 2018
• Galley with gimballed stove and ice box

The water tank requires replacement; however, the existing plumbing lines are in place for the water system, including the shower and hot water.

Please Note – Deck Repairs Required


The boat does have soft areas in the top decks that will require repair.

This is not being hidden or represented as a turnkey boat. The condition of the decks has been taken into consideration in the asking price, and the boat is being offered as-is.

For someone comfortable doing fiberglass and deck work—or someone looking for an affordable entry into a 30-foot sailboat—this could be a very worthwhile project.

With a working Yanmar diesel, Harken furling system, extensive sail inventory, updated head and newer interior cushions, there is already a good foundation to work with.
