All about Hunter brand
Hunter Marine has a long family history. The Luhrs began building sailboats back in the early 19th century in Maine, on the east coast of the USA. From dorys and pilot cutters to schooners, the west coast of the USA is the birthplace of the principles of sailboat construction. The 4th generation of the Luhr family founded Hunter Marine in Alachua, Florida in 1973.
Known in Europe for producing comfortable yachts such as the Hunter 33, 36, and 38, the shipyard began building a range of keelboats ranging in length from 25 foot to 50 foot in the early 1970s. While Hunter models produced in the mid-1980s suffered build-quality issues, this is no longer the case, especially since the shipyard passed into the hands of the Marlow group, a manufacturer of large cruising motoryachts. The majority of Hunter sailboats are produced in sizes ranging from 28 foot to 37 foot. They rival French-built Beneteau Oceanis and Jeanneau Sun Odyssey boats.
The company turned its attention to larger boats, such as the HC 50 launched in 2000, the first cruising yacht to feature a gimballed nav station and a flooding water ballast to regulate the boat's trim! Wasn't the Luhrs dynasty founder's great-great-grandson an offshore racer? "Hunter" innovations include mounting the mainsail hoist on an arch clearing the deck, and the mass production of a rigging and V-shaped spreader system, which is now well-known and used by many sailboat builders.
