The Hunter 43 Legend is a well-built performance cruiser that's easy to sail short-handed, forgiving under way, and provides loads of comfort belowdecks.This boat features an anodized, double-spreader fractional rig, a full-batten mainsail, furling foresail and a bulb-wing keel with draft of less than 5 feet. The chainplates are anchored to the frame system to carry the rig load. This construction technique helps to maximize interior volume, of which the boat has plenty. The deck hardware is heavy-duty, through-bolted and fitted with backing plates. The sole is teak and holly
The Hunter 43 Legend's deck is well designed. The sloop's double-spreader fractional rig supports a mast that is 64 feet, 6 inches tall, making it a squeaker when it comes to sailing the lntracoastal Waterway and passing beneath federal highway bridges with 65-foot clearance.
The mainsheet traveler and boom vang add additional support to the rig, so the main is relatively easy to handle. The full-batten mainsail is enhanced by a flaking system. A roller furler helps tame the foresail while the jib sheets are controlled by inboard genoa tracks with cars. The internal halyards lead back to the comfortable cockpit, with its wide and deep seating. There are dual two-speed, self-tailing halyard winches, and a pair of two-speed, self-tailing genoa winches. The boat features stainless steel bow and stern pulpits, stainless cabin handrails, and a through-bolted, anodized toerail with amidships cleats.
The spacious, T-shaped cockpit is fitted out with three lockers in addition to two transom lockers. The boat has folding wheel steering, and the binnacle hosts a lighted compass, wheel brake, gauges, and an engine panel with single-lever control.A sturdy table with drink holders and collapsible leaves adds another level of convenience to the cockpit
The walk-through transom allows direct access to a handy swim platform, making it easier to board from a dinghy or inflatable.
Roominess, comfort, sensible layout and a third stateroom with bunk beds are the most common, positive attributes cited by owners. The original Legend 43 with its third cabin featured a nav station with simple hinged seat and a tabletop on which to spread charts.
The Legend 43 would be a perfect comfortable live-aboard cruiser!
