Broker's Comments
The Hunter Duette was designed by David Thomas and built by Hunter Boats, which over 200 have been built to date, is the twin keel version of the popular Hunter Sonata cruiser/racer. The Duette has an excellent reputation for stability and ease of handling , they also offer good performance. With the single handed mast lowering system, shallow draft and ability to dry out, this makes these boats ideal sailing cruiser for those new to sailing and for the Norfolk Broads and East coast rivers.
This tidy example looks to have been maintained, by the current owner, with a good specification and recent engine.
The forecabin has standard V berths with stowage beneath including a small removeable icebox. The cabin door is high gloss teak faced and there are non-standard headlinings and fitted carpet throughout.
If you would like to arrange a personal viewing please contact us and we would be pleased to show you this boat, thank you.
