Broker's Comments
Hunter Boats were among one of the largest sail boat builders in the UK; the Hunter 272, designed by David Thomas was one of their ranges that introduced bilge keels.
This Hunter appears to be in great condition, internally and externally she has been well maintained and has many of the benefits you would prefer for single handed sailing such as self tacking jib, auto helm and Garmin navigation instruments. The bilge keel is also a favoured option for many sailors looking to enjoy shallower waters and of course the ability to dry out or beach at low tide.
If you would like any further details or would like to arrange a personal viewing, then please contact our office and we would be pleased to help.
