(SOLD) 2003 Hunter 356

Accommodations & Layout

Starting below in the bow, the forward stateroom offers a large V-berth with shelves above and storage below.  Just aft of the berth there is hanging locker space on either side of the cabin.  Forward bulkhead is just to the aft which has a large door in addition to an opening louvered door if you prefer more ventilation and light. 

As you step aft from the forward cabin, you arrive in the large salon which offers lots of natural light, seating, and storage space.  To starboard there is a comfortable U-shaped dinette seating with a table which converts to an additional berth.  Opposite to port is a straight settee.  Navigation station is on the aft end of the port settee, along with all of the system circuit breakers and battery controls. 

Moving further aft to port is the head with a separate shower compartment.  Opposite is the functional L-shaped galley which has refrigeration, double stainless steel sink, microwave, propane stove and oven, and lots of storage for galleyware. 

Beyond the galley is the large master stateroom which features an athwartships master berth with an queen size inner-spring mattress, hanging locker, and drawer storage. 

Engine access is behind the companionway steps which flip down for quick & easy access.  Transmission and rear of the engine may be accessed through the aft master stateroom.

Manufacturer Provided DescriptionThe Hunter 356 features a tall, fractional rig, which is a direct descendent of the B&R rig that powered Hunter's Child to a second place finish in the recent BOC. Hunter has engineered the mast to carry less weight aloft with smaller sections. This is accomplished by utilizing swept-back spreaders and reverse diagonals as well as mast support struts. This combination provides superior strength without a backstay and increases the stability at the same time. By using a large roach main as the power sail, Hunter has eased the effort in sail handling and allowed for real versatility for all wind and sea conditions. The benefit is better performance with less effort. The deck layout of the Hunter 356 reflects the innovation that accompanies the rig. An integrated arch protects the cockpit from snapping main sheets and blistering sun with the optional Bimini. This arch keeps the cockpit clear and open. A custom console stands ready with the standard VHF and instruments. Single-lever control and a fold-down table along with engine instrumentation complete the command station. The swim platform and walkthrough transom complete with shower and folding ladder are perfect for water sports or for boarding the tender. Storage is everywhere and the non-skid is absolutely first-rate. Comfort is truly important aboard whether for a week or a year, so Hunter has created an interior that not only looks good, but works as well. Two private, large staterooms along with an enormous head with shower and a salon that can seat eight plus a gourmet galley will keep all the crew happy.
