The Hunter 430 is an American sailboat that was designed by the Hunter Design Team as a cruising boat and first built in 1995.[1][2][3][4]
The Hunter 430 is a development of the Hunter 43 Legend, using a similar hull, but different interior arrangement.[5]
Production[edit]
The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States between 1995 and 2000. During its production run 415 examples were completed, but it is now out of production.[1][2][4]
Design[edit]
The Hunter 430 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop B&R rig, a raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom with a swimming platform and a folding ladder, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed wing keel. It displaces 23,800 lb (10,795 kg) and carries 7,600 lb (3,447 kg) of ballast.[1][4]
The boat has a draft of 4.92 ft (1.50 m) with the standard wing keel fitted.[1][4]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 4JH2E diesel engine of 50 hp (37 kW). The fuel tank holds 50 U.S. gallons (190 L; 42 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 180 U.S. gallons (680 L; 150 imp gal). There are also two 25 U.S. gallons (95 L; 21 imp gal) waster water holding tanks.[1][3]
Factory standard equipment included a 110% roller furling genoa, a fiberglass mainsheet arch, three two-speed self tailing winches, marine VHF radio, knotmeter, depth sounder, AM/FM radio and CD player with eight speakers, dual anchor rollers, hot and cold water cockpit shower, two fully enclosed heads with showers, private forward and aft cabins, a dinette table that converts to a berth, microwave oven, refrigerator and separate freezer, dual stainless steel sinks and a three-burner gimbaled propane stove and oven. Factory options included a mainsheet traveler, a double aft cabin, air conditioning, mast furling mainsail, electric anchor winch and a leather interior.[3]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 99 with a high of 111 and low of 96. It has a hull speed of 8.26 kn (15.30 km/h).[4][6]
