¿Qué cubre este video?
The Hunter 356, a 35-foot-6-inch production cruiser designed by Glenn Henderson and introduced around 2000, features a fiberglass sandwich hull with balsa core and Kevlar reinforcement near the bow.1:03 The design utilizes a B&R rig with swept-back spreaders and no backstay, allowing for a large roach mainsail and a smaller, easily managed 110% headsail.2:11 While the cockpit is spacious and includes a stainless steel arch for the traveler and bimini, the rig requires specific downwind sailing techniques, such as broad reaching and jibing, to avoid pressing the main against the spreaders.4:10 Below deck, the 12-foot beam provides significant volume, including a large aft cabin and a functional galley.4:46 Prospective buyers should prioritize inspecting for water intrusion around windows, skylights, and deck fittings, as well as evaluating the condition of the sanitation hoses and the in-mast furling system.5:44 While not intended for heavy-displacement offshore passage-making, the model serves as a capable coastal cruiser.7:48
