Integrated Design Blends Sail and Power Together in a Trailerable Package


America’s largest boat sailboat producer, Hunter Marine Corporation, has now completed prototype testing of its latest model; the Hunter 27 “Edge”.

It may seem strange, in today’s energy-focused environment, that Hunter would develop a navigational craft with a powerboat twist. However, in recognition that its customers are requesting more flexibility in a small trailerable package, Hunter has responded with a multi-purpose family sport boat that is sure to please active families who enjoy being on the water.

The new Hunter 27 Edge offer boaters a new level of integrated design. The Edge blends the freedom of sailing with the flexibility of a powerboat – combined in a trailerable package. Depending on the weather, or your own desire, you can choose to raise the sails – or lower the engine for boat. Sailing, fishing, sightseeing, swimming, and wake-boarding are all part of the on-water family activities the Edge can bring to your leisure time. The unique hull shape allows for excellent sailing characteristics, plus provides a stable platform for boats for planing under power. Trailerability is enhanced with a swing keel, water ballast, plus a simple mast raising system.

The interior features two double berths, a generous galley and large salon - accented by warm Cherry laminates. 1.8m headroom and large boat windows enhance the spacious feeling for days and nights aboard.

The new Hunter 27 Edge will be available for factory completions beginning in August 2008. Standard marine equipment and specifications are detailed in the attached flyer. Photos are available at our images site at www.huntermarine.com/ftp .
