Hunter Edge 27 - Available now

"Now Hunter has introduced the Edge, a 27-foot mini-motorsailer that sails surprisingly well and also speeds along like a runabout under power." This boat is located on the island of Martha's Vineyard and we are happy to show her.

The Edge is built with a solid hull and a cored deck joined on outward flange and through bolted.  Structural hull support is provided by a molded grid system that runs throughout the hull. With towing a central aspect of the design premise, Luhrs and his team gave careful consideration to keeping the overall weight down. This is where water ballast makes sense, it’s not permanent weight that needs to be hauled down the Interstate. The towing weight is less than 5,000 pounds and the Edge can be pulled behind a decent sized pickup or SUV. Once you get to the ramp, the flat powerboat hull shape is easy to launch.  The 33-foot air draft translates into a manageable mast section of around 28 feet.  The mast doesn’t require a crane or gin pole to be stepped, but it sure helps.
