Hunter channel 31 review

The Hunter gets good reviews for its sailing abilities. I found it fun to sail. What is channel 31? Is hunter good forgiving? Is the hunter built? How much does a Hunter cost?

The Channel is, like many smaller Hunter designs, fractional rigge with a relatively large mainsail. This gives sail area for light winds performance, a small headsail with consequent lower sheet loads, and easy and efficient reefing from the cockpit. She has all the British Hunter attributes of high standard of buil ease of handling, and a sailing performance combined with many new features to appeal to sailors of all levels.


That is my understanding as this was discussed many times in Port Edgar where there was a Channel and a 31. The gives more performance but sacrifices space so it depends what you want. Once in the Mobile North Sea Race. Subsequently a number of other British Hunters sprouted twin keels with a similar aim, including the Horizon 3 and the Channel, and 323.


All offered a similar appealing combination of easy handling and performance that often exceeded that of fin-keel designs of a similar size.

The Marlow-Hunter 3 which has a length overall of 32’4” and a beam of 11’10” will be a tough contender for any model in her size range that tries to compete with the volume below. One of her best features is the spacious cockpit that delivers a feel more like that of a larger boat.
