Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The Hunter 41DS, introduced in 2006, features a deck saloon design prioritizing interior volume, light, and shorthanded cruising capability.0:29 Designed by Glenn Henderson, the 40-foot-4-inch vessel displaces 19,400 pounds and utilizes a B&R rig with swept-back spreaders and no backstay.0:51 This configuration allows for a smaller, manageable headsail and cockpit-led sail handling, often paired with a Selden in-mast furling system.5:45 While the boat offers a spacious galley, a dedicated shower in the aft head, and a queen-sized berth, the high freeboard and windage require careful planning during docking and can cause wandering at anchor.7:30 Performance is moderate, with a displacement-to-length ratio of 194, though the rig limits downwind sailing angles.1:50 Prospective buyers should inspect the large bonded deck saloon windows for leaks, check the deck for moisture, and verify the service history of the furling mast.9:00 Engine hour displays on the Yanmar panels frequently fail, complicating verification of total run time.9:40
