About the HUNTER 30T
Updated version of HUNTER 30-2. 'T' shaped cockpit.
The Hunter 30T is a fractional sloop designed by an unknown designer and built by Hunter Marine (USA) between 1991 and 1994. With a displacement of 10500.0 lb and a beam of 11.0 ft, this model represents a specific era of American production cruising yachts, though the exact number of hulls built is not specified in the available data.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize interior volume and ease of handling over heavy offshore performance. Its fractional rig and moderate displacement make it accessible for couples or small families seeking a comfortable, low-maintenance daysailer or near-shore cruiser.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.01 and a comfort ratio of 24.24, the Hunter 30T is not designed for serious bluewater passages, as its light displacement of 10500.0 lb and fin keel prioritize coastal agility over heavy-weather stability.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Hunter 28 and Hunter 31, which share similar fractional rigging, interior layouts, and target demographics from the same early 1990s production era. Other contemporaries like the Beneteau First 30 or O'Day 32 offer similar performance profiles but often with different rigging configurations or hull forms.
