2006 Hunter 36

Vessel Overview

"Laura Marie" is a premier example of the highly sought-after Glenn Henderson-designed Hunter 36. Perfectly suited for coastal cruising and effortless shorthanded sailing, this vessel features an aft cockpit layout with a signature traveler arch, a stable wing keel, and a responsive spade rudder.
