Under power, the trusted Yanmar 4JH4‑TE 76 HP diesel (Engine Family RCD‑4JH4TX2, Serial E12626) shows approximately 1,325 hours since 2019 and pairs with an X‑Change‑R oil change system for both engine and genset, while Racor filtration—cleanly relocated to the engine compartment in 2019—simplifies service. The Fischer Panda generator registers about 850 hours, with a new raw‑water pump in June 2024 and major electronics (both control boards and panel) renewed in July 2023, underscoring a proactive maintenance ethic. The professionally installed bow thruster enhances confidence in marinas and tight anchorages, rounding out a mechanical suite tailor‑made for effortless long‑range voyaging.

A modernized electrical architecture centers on Victron intelligence: a 2022 Victron inverter/charger, battery monitor, and SmartSolar charge controller steward a robust house bank of approximately 600Ah AGM plus a dedicated engine start battery. Two Panasonic 350W solar panels and a Rutland 1200 wind generator deliver renewable autonomy, coordinated through a Charles Industries ISO‑G2 3.6 kVA marine isolation transformer for clean shore power and safety. Micro‑Air EasyStart modules on the air‑conditioning systems enable soft starts at anchor or on limited power, an elegant touch that elevates onboard comfort on hot days and quiet nights.

The helm and nav station are equipped for confident bluewater cruising and refined day sailing alike, with a Garmin 1242xsv chartplotter (2021), a crisp Garmin GMR Fantom 18” radar (2021), and the latest Garmin Reactor 40 autopilot (2024) for precise course‑keeping. A Raymarine chartplotter at the nav station complements the suite, while a B&G V60‑B VHF with AIS transmit/receive, an AIS GPS500 antenna, and a wireless handheld ensure clear, authoritative communication. A Ritchie FN‑201 4.5" Navigator flush‑mount compass (2026) completes the cockpit’s dependable, sailor‑centric instrumentation.

Below, the interior is bright, inviting, and climate‑controlled by two 16,000 BTU air‑conditioning units (forward unit replaced in 2020). The galley is cruise‑ready with a Nova Kool RFS 7501 DC refrigerator, a Coolmatic CB‑040 freezer new in 2023, a Panasonic NN‑SN67KS microwave, a propane stove and oven fed by two tanks, and a Magma rail‑mounted BBQ on deck for al‑fresco evenings. An 11‑gallon hot water heater, a convenient transom shower, a Roku 32” television, and three 12V cabin fans add thoughtful amenities that make extended stays aboard a pleasure.

On deck, a full cockpit enclosure and cushions (2021) transform the center cockpit into a protected, social command center, joined by two comfortable cockpit chairs with arms. Hunter’s signature “Tower in a Box” arch integrates a robust dinghy davit and traveler, while the electric windlass and saltwater washdown simplify anchoring duties. Four winches—one electric—were serviced in 2022, reinforcing a low‑effort, high‑enjoyment sailing experience characteristic of a premium offshore cruising yacht.

The rig and sail plan are optimized for ease and performance: a Doyle in‑mast furling mainsail pairs with a new 2024 furling genoa for balanced power and fingertip control. Running rigging was renewed in 2019, and the deck‑stepped aluminum mast with B&R rig is supported by stainless wire and swaged turnbuckles, stainless chain plates, and a full complement of trim aids including a boom vang, sheet stoppers, genoa cars and tracks with fairleads and blocks, and an arch‑mounted traveler. Lewmar two‑speed self‑tailing winches—one electrically powered, all serviced in 2022—complete a deck layout that invites confident single‑ or short‑handed sailing.

With polished systems, renewable energy, modern electronics, and indulgent comforts integrated into a proven center‑cockpit platform, SnAIL’n stands out as a luxury sailboat and versatile offshore cruiser—ready to slip the lines for coastal adventures, bluewater passages, or an elegant, effortless life afloat.
