Hunter 336

The Hunter 336 is an American sailboat that was designed by Rob Mazza as coastal cruising boat and first built in 1995.

It has a fractional sloop B&R rig, a slightly raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel.

Since the spreaders are angled aft to eliminate the backstay, vang trimming for good sail shape is essential.

It states, "Our performance in the day's conditions quickly erased any prior doubts I had held about the 336's unconventional rig and sailplan.

In fact, by the end of our sail Bergstrom's elegant tapered, fractional spar was amongst my favorite features of the boat.

There are so many opening windows and hatches (11 in total) that I felt for a moment, albeit brief, that I was inside a solarium and not a cabin.
