Hunter 36

The Hunter 36 is an American sailboat that was designed by John Cherubini as a cruising sailboat and was built between 1980 and 1983. The design can be confused with the 1990 Hunter 36 Vision, 2008 Hunter 36-2 (sold as the Hunter 36) and the 2001 Hunter 36 Legend, all sailboats with similar names by the same builder.

The Hunter 36 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 13,500 lb (6,123 kg) and carries 6,000 lb (2,722 kg) of ballast. The boat has a draft of 4.92 ft (1.50 m) with the standard keel fitted. The boat is fitted with an inboard diesel engine.

The design features two private cabins, one forward and one aft, a head with a shower, a U-shaped dining area which converts to a berth, a galley with an oven and a two-burner stove, plus an icebox that can be accessed from the cockpit while under way. The jib is roller furling and dual two-speed, self-tailing winches are provided as standard equipment.

The design has a hull speed of 7.28 kn (13.48 km/h).
