6. Hunter KevlarŪ Technology
Hunter adds
the extra strength, but not the weight where you need it most. From
the stem to the keel sump, Hunter has added a KevlarŪ laminate to
give you added protection against collisions. This is the most likely
area for damage or penetration and Hunter provides an extra level
of security. |

7. Stainless Steel Arches
When Hunter
first introduced the arch a few years ago, the skeptics were all against
it. Today, many of those are now offering arches of their own. There
is no question - the arch is a real asset. By placing the traveler
up top, it keeps the cockpit clear and safe. As an attachment point
for a bimini, it makes a clean installation. The arch is also perfect
for stereo speakers and cockpit lights. |

8. B&R Rigs
Again, another Hunter innovation that has now been time-proven
to be one of the strongest and easiest to sail rigs ever designed.
By incorporating sweptback spreaders and a pre-bend in the mast, the
need for a backstay has been eliminated. This allows for a fuller
roach main that provides more power in an easy to tame mainsail. With
the big main, the jib can be smaller and easier to handle as well.
Power without perspiration!

9. Antimonious Lead Keels
At Hunter
Marine only real hardened lead keels are attached with stainless steel
keelbolts. This is obviously more expensive than iron keels and mild
steel bolts, but when it comes to performance, safety and maintenance,
it's the only way to go. |

10. Through-Bolted Hull to Deck Joints
Superb strength
and integrity are achieved with a through-bolted hull to deck joint.
The outward turned flanges of the deck and hull are first shaped for
an exact fit. Then, 3MŪ 5200 sealant is evenly spread onto the joint
prior to the lowering of the deck. The joint is then clamped together
and through-bolted around the entire deck. An extra shot of epoxy
is also laid down at the chainplates. Now, that's strength! |
