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.
