Introduction

Luna is hull number 15 of only 17 Hunt Harrier 36s ever crafted, making it a rare gem in the world of boating. These iconic designs have become highly collectible, especially since the molds no longer exist. It's a shame, as these boats are remarkable in many ways, not least of which is the character they exude when powered by twin Volvo 435hp diesels with shafts, props, and rudders. If there ever were a 12-cylinder touring car equivalent on water, this is it. Luna offers ample power for cruising with family and friends, achieving a swift 30-32 knot cruise. Equally impressive is her ability to glide at slow speeds on a plane, whispering through the water while sipping fuel, with minimal bow rise for excellent visibility for both the helmsperson and guests. No drier riding boat exists, making the expansive and open cockpit a delight both underway and at rest.

Built with Florida's climate in mind, Luna features a minimal maintenance exterior with white gelcoat surfaces to prevent excessive heat buildup underfoot, behind the windshield, and in the cabin. This simple yet well-thought-out vessel is equipped with amenities such as AC/reverse cycle heat for the interior, twin Garmin plotters at the helm, twin Stidd pedestal seats, autopilot, and a bow thruster. A custom bridge deck wet bar and other custom features cater to both the enthusiastic host and the avid angler. Bravo!

The focus on exterior space and day boating is evident, with a very large ensuite head below deck that complements this theme. Yet, the interior is both lovely and functional, featuring a convertible dinette, galley, and a large V-berth with a filler to create a spacious double bed, perfect for overnight stays or long weekends for a couple or a family with young children.

Luna is indeed a special boat, superbly maintained with light seasonal use in a covered slip until 2024. This is the second Hunt for the original and current owners, who have decades of experience in both power and sailboats, in both northern and southern waters. In other words, they recognize a great boat when they see one. Luna benefits from recent enhancements, including an electric windlass and anchor roller, a fiberglass swim platform, a custom bimini, and a dual-height settee on the bridge deck. Reluctantly but seriously offered for sale, she is ready for many more years of service, and we invite your interest and inspection.

Hull

The hull of this yacht is a testament to advanced engineering and meticulous craftsmanship. Constructed with biaxial E-glass fabric, it features a foam-cored bottom and topsides, ensuring both strength and lightweight performance. The hull and deck are vacuum-bagged, a technique that enhances structural integrity and durability. To protect against osmosis, a vinylester resin barrier is applied to the bottom, providing an additional layer of defense against water ingress.

Inside, the yacht boasts foam-cored E-glass stringers, which contribute to the overall rigidity and stability of the vessel. The bilge is painted, not only for aesthetic appeal but also for ease of maintenance. Custom-painted louvered engine compartment vents, matching the hull color, add a touch of elegance and functionality, ensuring optimal ventilation.

The yacht is equipped with an extruded vinyl sheer guard, offering protection and a sleek finish. A transom door on the starboard side provides convenient access, enhancing the vessel's practicality. The interior features a molded fiberglass hull liner, which adds to the seamless and polished look of the yacht. Finally, the gel coat finish on the hull topsides and deck ensures a glossy, durable surface that stands up to the elements, maintaining the yacht's pristine appearance.

Deck

The deck of this yacht is a masterclass in design and functionality, crafted from E-glass with a foam-cored laminate and featuring a molded non-skid surface for safety and durability.

This locker is equipped with a flush-mounted, guttered hatch for easy access.

The deck is outfitted with two stainless steel bow chocks and two 12-inch bow cleats, providing robust mooring options. Additionally, there are four stainless steel pop-up cleats, with two positioned amidships and two aft, ensuring versatile docking capabilities. The white powder-coated aluminum windshield, complete with handrails and side-opening vent windows, is fitted with Solex glass, which is green-tinted to preserve night vision.

For all-weather navigation, pantograph windshield wipers with washers are installed on both the port and starboard sides. The yacht is equipped with U.S. Coast Guard-approved running lights and an anchor light, ensuring compliance and safety. Ventilation is enhanced by a Lewmar opening coach roof cabin hatch with a nylon screen, complemented by another hatch in the head.

Cockpit

The cockpit of this yacht is both expansive and versatile, designed with wide and flat coamings that are comfortable to sit on and secure for stepping. A transom door to starboard is a thoughtful feature, perfect for both swimming and landing a kingfish. Currently, the cockpit on Luna is wide open, allowing for the placement of deck chairs as desired. This space has been utilized in various ways on similar boats, with ample room for additional built-in seating on stainless frames, which can be easily removed either partially or entirely. L- and U-shaped settees with bolstered backrests are common additions that truly enhance the yacht's appeal.

The entire cockpit sole can be easily removed, providing convenient access to two aft hatches for quick entry to the rudder posts and aft bilge. A single hatch just forward on the centerline allows access to the fuel tank dipstick and sender. A custom fiberglass 24-gallon well is centrally located on the transom, serving as a drinks cooler and is also plumbed with a pump for use as a live well. This feature doubles as a great tabletop for drinks and food, and also offers excellent fender storage.

Natural teak side boarding steps add a touch of elegance, while LED strip lighting beneath the cockpit coamings ensures excellent illumination of the cockpit sole. A hot and cold cockpit shower with a nozzle is conveniently located in the cockpit coaming aft to port. For added convenience, a saltwater deck washdown system is integrated with a hose, nozzle, and storage holder. A custom varnished teak flag staff from Bette Fleming, complete with a stainless flush socket, adds a classic touch. Rack storage is available under the starboard cockpit coaming, and five rod holders are strategically placed in the cockpit coamings for fishing enthusiasts. The fiberglass swim platform, equipped with a bathing ladder, is a new addition for 2024, enhancing the yacht's functionality and appeal.

Bridgedeck and helm

The bridgedeck and helm of this yacht are designed for both comfort and functionality, offering ample space for family and friends. The area is well-protected by a windshield and curved glass side panels, with a convertible bimini top, new in 2024, providing overhead cover. This setup can be opened to the front, sides, and back, making it ideal for warmer climates and sunny days. Side filler curtains, which have never been used, are available for additional protection.

The helm features twin pedestal chairs, both upgraded Stidd Slimline models with white powder-coated frames that match the white Ultra-leather covering. These chairs include optional varnished teak ladderbacks, with one positioned at the helm and the other for a companion across to port.

It features a recessed stainless steel sink with a folding faucet and hot and cold water, with a storage locker beneath and a second locker aft with built-in drawers, both with varnished teak doors. Aft to port is a custom molded dual-height twin settee, approximately 4’ x 3.5’, with elevated front and lower aft seating and backrest. This area is insulated with oversized scuppers to drain overboard, doubling as a fish box or large cooler. The top lifts effortlessly on gas struts for easy access, and the seat cushions are removable.

The custom bimini top, new in 2024, includes a clear plastic filler piece to the windshield and a custom integrated stainless steel arch for antennas with four stainless rocket launchers (rod holders). Side curtains are also included, and the original 'Navy' top, which connects directly to the windshield without a filler curtain, is part of the inventory and may be preferred north of the Mason-Dixon line. Stitched-on Stamoid safety grab straps run down both sides of the bimini top for secure movement along the side decks, and custom stainless handles on the underside provide secure handholds while underway.

Additional features include two LED courtesy lights down low and a single overhead light aft on the bimini frame. Stamoid protective covers are provided for all bridge deck seating, the helm, wet bar, companionway, and portside teak cubbies, ensuring the area remains in pristine condition.
