1996 Hunter 40'

One the best Hunters built. Merryachtt is easy to manage with her fractional rig and modern sail handling systems. With her generous sail area and shoal draft wing keel she offers excellent performance, stability, and is a lot of fun to sail. Merryachtt is also a great live aboard layout with 2 private staterooms. The interior is quite spacious with private forward and aft cabins, two heads, large salon and galley with plenty of counter space. She is an excellent balanced cruiser, safe and comfortable. She has a large cockpit, wheel steering, catbird seats and an open transom for easy water or dinghy access. Below she has full standing headroom (6’5”) and 2 sleeping cabins and two heads. She will accommodate 7 in berths up to 7’ in length and 7 can sit in the large u-shaped dinette and settee. Her cabin is light and airy with 7 opening ports and 8 deck hatches for great cross ventilation.

Lightly used for daysailing, Merryachtt has enjoyed many upgrades under current ownership. A must see if you are in the market for a contemporary styled sailboat with outstanding amenities. 

Some of the latest upgrades include:

Tides track installed on the mast 

New main sail (2023)

Stack pack ("lazy bag") with lazy jacks 

Two new house batteries Mighty Max 12v 200Ah 4D SLA AGM (over $350 ea.)
