Broker's Comments

A really lovely example of these much sought-after bilge keel sailing boats.

The Hunter 27 Channel is a great boat to sail and offers spacious accommodation for a 27 foot boat.

Drawing only 1 metre she is the perfect boat for exploring shallower waters safe in the knowledge that the two keels will always keep you upright should you run aground!

The interior has been well cared for and on inspection there was lots of evidence to suggest she has been looked after to a high standard. The upholstery was also in really nice condition, the head and galley were nice and clean and the navigation station is in good order, well organised and functional.

Up on deck and in the cockpit she is again in great condition and there are 4 additional cockpit cushions to make seating a little more comfortable.

The engine started first time from cold and 'purred' along exactly as it should.

Additional notes.

- The foresail is self tacking
- The main and foresail have been cleaned and looked after and stored when necessary.
- Lawrence GPS
- 2 x Hand held VHF
- The engine has just been serviced
- A new exhaust manifold fitted 2022
- A new gutless bearing fitted 2022
- New Anodes fitted 2022
- She was last anti fouled May 2023
- The owner is a cabinet maker and has made a very nice cockpit table
- The interior lights have been replaced with LED bulbs
- There is a first aid kit
- There is an emergency flare kit
- A new rudder was fitted 5 years ago
- There are 240v sockets throughout the boat which can be used when connected to shore power
