About the HUNTER 380
Thanks to 'LB' for providing correction. HUNTER 376, 380, 386 share the same hull.
The Hunter 380 is a popular cruising sailboat designed by the Hunter Design Team and built by Hunter Marine (USA) from 1999 to 2001. With a displacement of 16000.0 lb and a beam of 12.58 ft, it offers a spacious interior and comfortable motion, though specific hull production numbers are not definitively recorded in available data.
- Best for:
- This vessel is well-suited for coastal and nearshore cruisers who prioritize interior volume and ease of handling, particularly those who may single-hand with the aid of common aftermarket upgrades like bow thrusters and windlasses.
- Bluewater capability:
- While the Hunter 380's capsize ratio of 2.0 and comfort ratio of 25.27 suggest moderate offshore capability, its relatively light displacement of 16000.0 lb and fin keel design make it more appropriate for protected waters rather than heavy-weather bluewater passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include the Beneteau 373 and the Tartan 37, which share similar beam widths and displacement ranges, offering alternative choices for owners seeking a spacious, fin-keel cruiser with moderate performance.
