Hunter 49 from the Factory

Wanderlust3 about to leave the factory for painting. It will have 6 coats of Awlgrip 'Flag Blue' with a red bow and white stripes. It now has all above deck hardware removed to pass under bridges and electrical wires. The mast was raised and adjusted at the factory then removed for transport. It has a barrier coat and anti-fouling paint on the bottom. You can see the bow thruster and the deep keel with aquadynamic 'wings'.
This is the H-49 mock-up of the cockpit. They use it to test mount and design the arch and bimini with dingy davit system. The solar panels will be added above the bimini, the dingy can be lowered to water level and you just step in, unhook and take off.In Europe, Hunter's have to be called "Legend" because England has another boat manufacturer called Hunter. This is the new Hunter 49 called "Legend 50" in Europe. Click here: Sail World: Sail and sailing, cruising, boating news
