Hunter 326
Description
The Hunter 326 is a versatile American coastal cruising sloop designed by Glenn Henderson and built by Hunter Marine from 2001 to 2006, with approximately 100-150 hulls produced—positioning it as a compact, value-driven entry in the yard's 30-foot lineup, ideal for couples or small families on bay hops, lake sails, or light offshore jaunts in protected waters like the Chesapeake or Great Lakes. Featuring a beamy hull with a fin keel and spade rudder for responsive handling, a fractional sloop rig with swept spreaders (B&R style for easy tacking), and a walk-through transom for convenient boarding, it's optimized for shorthanded cruising while offering a surprisingly spacious interior that sleeps 4-6 with 6'4" headroom.
