The Hunter 27-3 was originally marketed by the manufacturer as the Hunter 27, but is now usually referred to as the 27-3 to differentiate it from the unrelated 1974 Hunter 27, 1989 Hunter 27-2 and later designs bearing the same name.[1][4][5]
Production
editThe designs were built by Hunter Marine in the United States, but are now out of production.[1][6]
Design
editThe Hunter 27-3 series are both small recreational keelboats, built predominantly of fiberglass. They have fractional sloop B&R rigs, plumb stems, reverse transoms, internally-mounted spade-type rudders controlled by wheels and fixed fin keels.[1]
