The Hunter 306 is the logical step into keelboat cruising, offering real stability, solid performance and plenty of comfort in an easy to sail package.
Whether you are moving up from a daysailer or down from a larger boat, you'll be impressed by all the 306 has to offer.
The wide hull caries the beam aft, keeping it stable while providing the space to make it roomy and comfortable with lots of storage space below decks and topsides. The hull has a special "reflex" feature near the transom that minimizes drag allowing the boat to slip through the water effortlessly. The 3'10" deep reverse "L" lead bulb keel gets the maximum amount of weight down to keep the boat on it's feet in a big breeze.
Down below, the galley is loaded with conveniences. It features a refrigeration, propane stove, a microwave, Corian countertops & all the expected cabinets, drawers, and storage beneath the deep S/S sink.
Two private staterooms with plenty of storage can handle family or friends. The spacious salon offers plenty of room to dine and entertain. Rich fabric, spay lacquered teak furniture and bulkheads, storage and even a cedar-lined hanging locker add to the list of "Big Boat" amenities.
The head compartment features a shower, opening port, cabinet vanity with storage below and two mirrors that fold down exposing more storage space. There is a door from the head that gives good engine access from the starboard side.
Again the wide beam provides plenty of space. Two deck hatches, two fixed ports and three opening ports create an open, airy feeling. The dinette seats five and easily converts to a berth when needed. Outboard storage is everywhere. The opening Nav table provides space for a chartbook. The soft "whisper" headliner saves hundred of pounds in the deck construction and is also attractive.
The aft stateroom features plenty of space and storage with a cedar-lined locker, reading lamps, 110-volt outlets and one 12-volt receptacle, and a fixed port & opening port for light and ventilation. There is also a door for engine access.
Above decks you'll see a huge cockpit that allows you to move around even under sail. A custom console houses the rack & pinion steering, electronics, engine controls and drink holders.
The wide decks allow for easy crew movement and are low maintenance, teak confined to a pair of wonderful stern-rail seats integrated from the S/S arch that has the traveler mounted to it. Long S/S handrails are mounted port & starboard. Two Lewmar self-tailing winches are mounted on the coach roof for sheet, outhaul, vang and main-furler handling.
