You nailed it! We have a 1988 37 Legend. Sails great and so many good features. $35,000!

[@sweisbrod6109]

Ive delivered a ton of these "production" boats. They were intended for the "mostly weekend but some coastal cruising" crowd. Hunters and Catalinas are a good value. If the boat surveys well and you like it, you cant go wrong provided you use it in the manner intended. Ive found them to be sturdy enough. With the Hunters and Catalinas, you can depend on the drawers opening when you want and the doors staying shut in a seaway. Some of the more "flexible" boats, not so much. Its true that the sugar-scoop stern makes for easy boarding. Snakes, alligators, racoons, nutria and if youre on the west coast, sea lions, all concur.

[@tomasrestrepoa.1247]

Rarher some snake or racoon than be left out of your boat, like in that movie....

[@gibsonoster1]

I had a 35.5 and I sold it and got a 40.5 I absolutely love them I appreciate the shout out!!!

[@TheWeirdocrew2]

Hey you actually used pics of my sailboat Remedy!! Thanks and looks great.

[@m4flannery]

We have a 87 Hunter Legend. Great value. Comfortable and spacious below and we still regularly outsail many in our marina. Thanks for showing the Hunter Legend the love it deserves.

[@SirCharles12357]

Really enjoy your opinion on various boats at a price for us middle class people. There's a huge swath of boats out there and its good to hear your take on them. Keep it up!!

[@matthewtrapp7756]

NOOOO stop telling people about the Hunter legend. Your driving the price up for me. My plan is to buy a 40.5 in a couple years. Just messing with you. Love the video.

[@LadyKSailing]

hahahah me too! #hiddengem

[@varad17]

I have to agree ,the 40.5 is a great looking boat. It'd be my go to as well....

[@Tal_Aldris]

This boat might have just shot to the top of my list, Tim great vids as always, do you think there will be good condition 40.5 Legends around in 6-8 years?

[@jameyburnett2699]

I've been looking at these boats for the last 3 months. Now the price is only going to go up.....

[@mamboos]

Would you cross the Atlantic on one of them?

[@Sailing_brin_de_folie]

It’s not a 37.5 but we love our 1994 Hunter 33.5. Plenty of room for a couple , easy to handle, shallow draft and a capsize ratio of 1.98. Perfect for us on the Great Lakes .

[@MrSteelmoon]

Do an article about sail inspection, time of life and repairs. Diy would be a plus

[@erictavares678]

I’m ready to sail through a brick wall, love the passion

[@craigwhitten1]

Thanks for the feature on the Legend series. Bought a 40.5 a few years ago and agree it's the best balance between cost and sailing performance. Preach on!

[@Mosmarc]

I have a 1985 Hunter 40 Legend ❤ it's a remarkable boat, loads and loads of space, a huge king sized island bed in aft cabin, with 2 doors, shower, basin &toilet en- suite, spacious v-berth with own shower,head & basin, very spacious kitchen, saloon as spacious...... and she's FAST! I solo sail and handle her easily... love this boat 👌🏼⛵

[@LadyKSailing]

Very nice!

[@grecopena]

OMG… I’m getting that itch again! We think alike about our love of sailboats and sailing. It just never leaves. That Legend looks so sweet. Wet Wednesdays or Thursdays with friends. trips to Catalina Island. Just don’t know if it’s safe for me at 72.

[@G-ra-ha-m]

Safe at 72? I'm sure you'll find willing crew, combine it with teaching them sailing! A win-win.

[@sailingisara331]

Good video! I've looked at countless boats and found our Legend 40.5 to be special. Hunter introduced a build quality improvement in the late 80s which set up the better build quality of the Legend series. The build quality is good (ie Catalina+, better than a Beneteau imho), all brand name components, great wiring, lead keel etc. Like all boats has its quirks - large mainsail (but points well, even more so for a shoal-draft) with difficult to access blocks that need to be maintained. Also, going upwind you'll run out of reefs surely much sooner than an Island Packet, so then you're a motor boat or drifting on a sea anchor or bare poles. Doesn't track super easily, so a modern autopilot is a must and is equal to more than one additional crew member. Due to the backstay, making a solar arch takes more thinking as well, however I have over 1kW on my boat with nothing overhanging. Overall, I've had her in 20'+ seas and 40 knots+ wind (downwind) and she handles great. Super happy with the purchase, having been on Island Packets, Juneaus, Catalinas and Beneteaus. None of the other boats have the lively and bright feel of the Hunter inside. Saving over $100k was nice too; this video captures the 'quality bang for the buck' situation well. Another thing you didn't mention - how about that engine access? all 4 sides clear access, the front and the back and most of the top as well. Engine maintenance and fixes are as easy as pie. As others have noted, the bow seat? Special. Every woman who has been on my boat has found that seat to be magical, whether ghosting along under sail in a calm bay, or being chased by jumping dolphins. One of my former crew has an Island Packet and was quite floored at how fast my boat was in light wind. Because my main crew (my wife!) and I both like calm and relaxing sailing, I find that I'd rather have a boat where we prioritize sailing in 10-15 knots of wind (or 15-25 downwind) - and can actually move quickly in that wind level! At 8 knots of wind on a broad reach or closer, we have workable speed (4-5kn), otherwise, based on the wind speed, 5-8+ knots. 12 knots downwind in 40 knots breeze was a bit more than I wanted ;) Cheers and fair winds -Peter

[@G-ra-ha-m]

Fast sailing also allows you to avoid some bad weather!

[@SV_Intention]

Hey Tim - love the channel and I think I have an idea for an episode or article for you to research: BOAT INSURANCE FOR CRUISERS. Long story short, we live on Vancouver Island. Our current insurer does not cover us south of 40N and we want to cruise the Sea of Cortez. We were able to get them to quote on an extension to include anywhere within 100 NM of shore from Cabo San Lucas NORTH. The problem is that they wanted 200% of our annual premium as a surcharge. We also needed to provide a hurricane plan, including what boatyard we would be hauling out at and who would be monitoring the boat. We elected not to head to Cortex this year, but for next season we will. So what do we do? Pay $3K extra to sail to Mexico? Just not carry hull insurance? Try to go to a different insurer? Any hints, tips, or guidance you can provide to sailors who aren't as familiar with cruising to different countries would be helpful.

[@miguelatambucho748]

I have a Legend 40 from the 80’s and live aboard in FL. I love how confortable is.

[@xavcasper6112]

True, love my Legend 45

[@Mosmarc]

Same here, bought mine in pandemic time, been living aboard since, and sailing around! VERY spacious and comfortable, and a super fast sailboat too

[@freemansmith1]

Tim, what a great video...I'm watching it again. I just have to try and plug my ears; because this boat and price is feeding "a bug". Thanks again, all the best , Marty

[@daytripper7597]

Live aboard, day sail, cruise, and race very successfully my 1990 Hunter Legend 40. I’ve always known the 37 is faster and more nimble. And my 40 doesn’t have a sugar scoop which is fine without one.

[@ateamNM]

Tim, not sure how to send a PM but me thinks you are going to need editors for your pending missives. PG geologists, been writing for 40 years. OBTW, I have watched every video you have made. Love the new back drop, no distractions, pure content. 5 stars.

[@jhacker5165]

always good info. i'm doing lots of homework before pulling the trigger

[@forestspeaks]

Great content. Hunters rock

[@LadyKSailing]

Thanks for watching!

[@ZekeChanguris]

I'd like to know more about what it is like to clear customs in the various ports.

[@Tal_Aldris]

I’ll second this.

[@michaelguittar8127]

I like the new black-screen format!

[@chrismckillip1292]

Have owned the 40 Legend now for a couple years. Fun sailboat.

[@LostandFoundonNorden]

I'll add you forgot to mention the 40 legend. I've sailed since just after I could walk. My dad was a live aboard for 10 years on a Pearson 30 Wandeder. I was a navigator in the Navy and have worked in the marine industry since I got out. Up until recently Hunter in general was one of my least favorite sailboat manufacturers. That all changed when I started looking at 40-45ft boats to live aboard. I have two teenage daughters 50% of the time so that was a huge factor in my decision making process. After looking at a Pearson 424 in my price range that need to much rehab and lacked the space that my kids needed I punted and decided it was time to look at boats I hadn't considered. This all lead to me purchasing a Hunter 40 Legend. It was in really good shape for its age and the previous owner even had a series of KZbin videos documenting work she had done including a very recent haul out and bottom job. The firs time I got on the boat to give it a once over, I came away with a different opinion on Hunter and especially the Legend series. I love my boat and feel that I got an extremely good value for my hard earned $$. I'm in the process of upgrading and adding my own touches to bring it to the point that I will be comfortable and ready to go out and have my adventure!

[@bharris968]

Great vid Tim. I bought a 94 37.5 legend about 6 months ago and moved on board right away. I love it more everyday I wake up on it.

[@davidlawrence327]

Great boats! While you did not mention the smaller sister, the Legend 35.5, we LOVE our MY1995. Great boat, big enough for us, and quite fast. Our pristine 35.5, with new sails all new rigging, and electronics, along with several nice upgrades, just surveyed at $70,000.

[@davidfinney6855]

I like the format. And the boat.

[@drhive1645]

Great as always, Tim. I've never seen Hunter Legends here in NZ. They seem to be rarer, even, than Catalinas. Quite frankly, though, any boat with a walk-through transom (and definitely not just for swimming), a wheel, and a traveller on the coach roof, has to be an improvement on what came before. As for ideas for new articles, I know it's verging into the realm of higher level sailing stuff, but I'd really enjoy hearing you talk about the need for headsail "alternatives" to drive cruising boats downwind, including especially low-cost furling systems for code zeros, gennakers, etc. It's the one thing still really missing from our sailing, after starting from complete newbies four years ago, even though we do coastal passages here in NZ in a 34 foot production boat all the time now.

[@Lew114]

Another good one Tim. Thanks.

[@KentDuFault]

I had a Hunter 26 weekender. Loved that boat.

[@user-kj4pt5tn2v]

Well said, and please keep em coming.

[@wildsky209]

I appreciate you gently reminding us that it can be done for less. All the while, it can be done in comfort tooooo.... Cheers!

[@user-sf2jg5ms2c]

Lived aboard and cruised an ‘83 Hunter 34 to Mexico and back to SF in the mid ‘80’s and early 90’s. It was what I could afford, and “run with what I had.” Roomy, goes to weather like a banshee and real squirrely downwind in a breeze and swell. Saw the owner not long after we sold her. The transverse beam under the deck stepped mast had failed. For me, I will never again own a boat whose bulkheads are not spaced off the hull with foam and tabbed with multiple layers of glass.

[@jimsellars6838]

It has been some time since I sales and I am rusty on terms and especially tacking navigation. Broad reach and tacking angles etc. That would be a fun article to take us all back to the basics once again. You could tie it in with rules of the sea meeting other craft discussions. Look forward to reading the articles.

[@Coyote-would-go]

I have an 89' Legend 37.5 and absolutely love it. I actually bought it based on pervious Lady K videos and have not at all been disappointed. Great boats!

[@ringydingydo]

Your video convinced me it was okay to buy a Hunter Legend 37.

[@mikrascally]

Nice video style. Very Gentleman- cigar- liquor- sailing of you. I like it.

[@noopy24]

I've been looking to move back to Annapolis and get myself 37 to 40 ft boat thank you for letting me know about this one 🙏

[@dougheizenrader2280]

Love the new format, Tim!

[@marcmenton8063]

As an armchair sailor who only has experience in sailing a very small sunflower as a 12 year old I found that I like the Hunter boats. I only have to impress myself not others. If I could I would choose the Hunter center cockpit. I find it well thought out and I like to be different.

[@John-Nada]

Good one! The 37 and 37.5 are pretty boats.

[@snowbound74]

We love our 37.5 legend!

[@leeburnside735]

Love it great info would like the 40.5 great vids too

[@KingArthurFleck]

Love the new format !!

[@mitchmartin55]

Took our ASA103/104 on a Legend 40.5. Great Boat !!

[@anthonyfederico7904]

Thank you for giving great details of the pros and cons of each of these popular boat models! Really helps us who are interested in getting into sailing, to learn a lot before maybe taking the plunge down the line 🤙🏼

[@jaMacek777]

Tim, since I started dreaming (thinking?) about going sailing upon retirement, I watched a ton of videos. Yours are the best! And honestly, some time ago you made me switch from an axe core ocean eater (HR 352 was my first dreamboat) to consider a production boat for a start. Just considering now, because after getting some experience closer to home I would like to sail from Europe to the Caribbean. And thank you for this video! My wife considers an isle bed in the aft a must, which (until now) limited my options to center cockpit boats. Thanks to you I see that I have more to choose from :)

[@LadyKSailing]

Thank youuuuuu!!!!

[@bobdailey9533]

Great Vid! Tim. Awesome information and you are Right! Who knew?

[@annaherlinger6316]

We have a 1997 Hunter 376. She is a great boat, amazingly fast and we love it.

[@CraigMiller91]

Really good review of the Legend series ... realizing these boats are all now 30+ years in age. Could you consider doing a similar episode on the "Passage" series, as these are center cockpit boats

[@connorcrowley1]

Owned a 40.5 for a few years. Damn great boat.

[@tymaynard5244]

Would love to see an article around center cockpit vs after cockpit. Starting to look at the legends because of this video!

[@LadyKSailing]

Love it!

[@shainester]

Always 👍🏽 your videos. I’ve never sailed but plan to in a few years. I’m 6’5” so I need something like the Hunter and really like everything I’ve seen about them on YT. I’d like to see a more in depth review of the Hunter boats without the complicated B&R rig.

[@alexusanin1632]

Got 1989 Legend 40.1 and have to say that pictures here are mixed years and versions of the boat. There are only 2 issues I want to highlight for potential buyers - bedroom on the back is not useable due to slop and slosh sounds due to hull shape unless you really sleep soundly. Second is the entrance to the interior is nearly verical, so you have to be fairly able to climb up and down.

[@Jim-jh9bd]

Another great show like the back drop

[@jesuschrist-alphaomega]

I am totally hooked on Hunters. 90% sure when I do buy my retirement boat. It's gonna be a Hunter.

[@GenerationX-GenX]

great vid. dig the new format!

[@Monkeywrenchmotorcycles]

When I got into sailing I heard all the hate on Hunters and so naturally I thought it was justified but 3 of the boats on my dock are Hunter Legend and all 3 liveaboard. Being on one, I’m impressed with the layout, 2 bathrooms, sugar scoop, and how well they sail and point for such a big boat.

[@wow.sailor.]

Love the tip, Thanks

[@NickFolzie]

Getting my ASAs over the next couple of years starting with 101 in Barbados this winter. Then I will be looking at a Hunter legend in either 37.5, or 40.5 depending on what is available. One thing I love about the boat is that seat out on the bow. That definitely should be a more common feature. Until then, I watch sailing KZbin!

[@robertdaniel2735]

I like the Hunters, even the BR rigs, but they do have a bit of a learning curve. We own a Hunter 306 and love it. We sail the great lakes.

[@sproven1]

Yep ! Hunter sailboat have a lot to offer for the price … I really like their layout … even the more recent B&R rigged one, well for our cruising plans … but sadly, all of those we looked seriously at had soft deck, soft cockpit floor … We are presently in the Bahamas, this is our second trip on our Jeanneau 34 and looking to upgrade for a bigger sailboat … Hunter are tempting … finding the right one is a thought proposition …

[@G-ra-ha-m]

Thanks for your presentations, it's very nice to be able to see the possibilities. Much of boating I've seen as either lots of work into a money pit, or needing to be a millionaire - the idea that we can get nice things from £10k to £100k is very cheering, and buying cheaper than we 'could' will also result in far more usage - which should be the point.

[@robertgold2643]

Aloha Tim, another great episode 🤙. I have two really bad ideas for articles for ya 😉. 1. “Boatyard Rescue”. Find an old boat to fix and sail from a-b on a tiny budget then write/vlog about the “adventures”. 2. Find an almost-middle-aged writer (hopefully me) that’s obsessed with sailboats (definitely me) but has next to no sailing experience (also me) and put them (hopefully me, again) into sailing situations and see how I/they do, then write about those “adventures” as well. Rob

[@basilbrushbooshieboosh5302]

Yeah, that'll be on my 'look for' list.

[@UncleJoeLITE]

Love your thinking. Cherry pick the good boats that people look over & which sold new to an older crowd. _First time seeing the 50/50 format mixed the short video clips!_ _Green screen legit looks like you borrowed Bob's green tarp for the shoot! =)_

Not a green screen ;)

[@edwardbibb6920]

I adore my 90 legend 35.5. I have been live aboard for nearly a year here on the Texas Gulf coast. I added an arch with a Saturn dingy and 400 amps of solar.

[@Yorkmedia1]

I like the Hunter legend myself it’s a great boat and cheap too good video good advice

[@seanrhone5306]

The main thing I do not like about newer production boats is, they seem to have stopped using fiberglass to tab and just use, somthing like, 5200.

[@svlyoness1969]

After 12 years with our 1989 Hunter Legend 37, I agree that it’s a very special race cruiser boat. Although a bit nimble for retirees looking to get into a cruiser; this Great Lakes past keel boat racer finds the boat a great boat that out-sails the 40’ cruisers. Once at anchor in a quiet GBay harbour it’s very comfortable down below. And yes, I was a C&C owner in the past.

[@joeldelamirande5792]

Traitor lol I haven’t tried other boat that C&c

[@svlyoness1969]

While the C&C has always been an incredible 80/20 combo race cruiser it’s much less comfortable. I purchased the Legend 37 as a family cruiser for those of us that still trim the sails and steer at the helm vs set it and forget it cruising. Our dock neighbours have a similar era C&C 37 with only 2/3 the space down below and nothing like our beam to beam aft cabin. Those that have the Legend 37 all know that I’m talking about.

[@joeldelamirande5792]

@@svlyoness1969 I’m sure I’ll come for a ride to see the difference

[@markpitman2676]

Hey Tim, idea for a video. Sweden versus rest of the world or USA on bluewater. Hallberg, Malo, Najad all great boats, but do you want that teak to upkeep, that weird arrangement of beds after in the HR versus the likes of an IP445; great boat, but do you really want to sleep at an angle?. Couple of calls in this. Teak in the Bahamas? Best places and angles to sleep at anchor, aft versus central cockpit. More on Bluewater, what capsize ratio or comfort rating is really needed for your average Joe sailor. Just some brain dumps, great channel!

Great review. The video production, black background worked great. I am currently in the research mode after selling my last boat. My requirements are not a fit for the Hunter Legend, but very interesting review.

[@sailingabroad6528]

I have a 1983 what I've been cruising been living in cruising on it for over a year full time I want the smallest boat I can stand up in because having a boat that's less than 30 ft has saved me so many times finding a slip when I need it fees and repairs have been so much cheaper and easier my vessel is a Helms LOA 29ft. Is heavy and way better built than a Catalina it's heavier than a Catalina higher quality materials have been used. And that's good enough for me I have never once looked at another boat and wish I had versus not I don't do that I am perfectly 100% happy with my vessel I spent almost $40,000 and did a complete restore on it from the bottom of the keel to the top of the mast. I'm completely satisfied with my boat 100% because I know everything on it and everything is practically brand new I always tell people I have a brand new 40 year old boat.

[@WillN2Go1]

I've got a Passage 456 with a the BNR rig - and a bent mast with a Selden roller sail (a bad idea that makes you wonder if maybe they just had a pile of those laying around, because the delivery truck got T boned. It still works, but it's fussy.) I'm usually happily surprised by the Hunters I've seen and sailed on. These two look great. The only thing I'd want to add is a bimini,

[@charles.neuman18]

You've given me a lot to think about regarding Hunter. I'm looking at 30' boats, and I had my mind set on a Catalina 30. But I think I should throw Hunter 30 into the search, too. You have been clear about supporting a walk-through transom. I realize that's an important thing to consider, as I age (and if I try to convince the wife to come along). And a sugar scoop does seem nice. Catalina put a sugar scoop onto some of their later 30' models, but it doesn't look quite right. Catalina is a more traditional design, and then slapping a sugar scoop on it seems a bit off. Hunter, on the other hand, looks more natural with a sugar scoop, because that's what is expected. It seems like a more natural part of the design. The question is whether I want to give up a bit of "saltiness" for comfort. Anyway, this is not directly related to the Hunter Legend models, but this video did make me think about considering Hunters. Thanks for your perspective.

[@freemansmith1]

Another great video. My wife and I are newer to your site, you have some a great way to communicate a love for sailing. I would love to someday soon get a Legend 37. There have been so many trashing reviews of them; but I wonder if you think it would be a great option to go to Catalina from Long Beach....seaworthy for that? Also, could that be possibly to sailed single hander? Thanks for your extremely informative and entertaining wideos. All the best, Marty

Without a doubt, the best sailing boat at anchor

[@allanrheaume5549]

Thought of something for an article idea...fenders! They're a pain to put on, they're a pain to store. I tie mine off the slotted toe rail though some boats don't have these anymore. Tying off the lifelines isn't a good idea because in a blow with the boat pitching it's hard on the stantions and bases. I see many new boats with enormous hull windows, it doesn't seem wise to have fenders leaning on these. My point is with all of the innovations we see today there are no solutions offered to easily clip on and off a fender and no dedicated quick and practical way to store them.

[@MG-ct9zf]

hey Tim love your work! can you do some videos on sailing and buying sailboats in New Zealand?:)
