Hunter 20T Compact Coastal Cruiser + Trailer

Just Sold, ‘Evie’ a well cared for 2007 Hunter 20T coastal cruiser with a massive inventory and RM road trailer.

Everyone has heard of the legendary British Hunter yard’s reputation for building solid yachts with excellent performance and handling. Yet, this modern looking, David Thomas designed trailerable pocket cruiser, may still surprise you. Not only does Evie feature a safe, deep cockpit from which all control lines can be easily managed but she boasts a super reliable Yanmar diesel inboard engine, a galley with room to stand up under the protection of the sprayhood and, even a fully enclosed heads compartment with separate sink! It’s amazing top find all this in such a small sea going package. Her diminutive size makes her easy to tow to your favourite sailing destination but even if you leave her in the water, she won’t cost the earth in berthing fees – she can even take the ground on the cheapest moorings available. Unlike other trailer sailers, this little Hunter’s cabin is open and unencumbered by compression posts and keel casings – by fitting twin keels and reinforced bulk-heads under the mast David Thomas ensured that the cabin of this tiny cruiser was left open and easy to move around in. With a mast positioned close to the water line and a massive 400kg of ballast this little yacht doesn’t display any of the twitchy characteristics of some other contemporary trailer sailers – she will look after you on a sea passage.

Originally built in late 2006 and commissioned in 2007 ‘Evie’ has been extensively sailed off the Northumberland Coast for the last 3 years by her current owner. He is now reluctantly putting her on the market. She is worth viewing soon as Hunter 20T are as rare as hen’s teeth, especially if they come equipped with these extensive features:

• Coppercoat antifouling
• Garmin Echomap 45DV mini chart plotter
• Tacktick wireless wind instrument
• Simrad DSC VHF radio
• Simrad TP10 tiller pilot
• Stack-pack lazy jack system
• Plastimo jib furler
• Sprayhood with grab handle
• Spinnaker with snuffer
• 4 Harken winches
• 10 deck clutches/jammers bringing all lines back to the cockpit
• All seacocks and through hulls in corrosion free HD reinforced plastic
• Yanmar 1GM10 inboard diesel with 25l tank
• Cookmate double spirit stove
• Cabin/cockpit table
• 2 sinks with pumped fresh water supply!
• RM single axle braked road trailer

Evie has been well cared for and it shows. Over the last few years maintenance and enhancements included:

• Regular sails servicing
• Trailer inspected and serviced every year
• Engine serviced every year
• New toilet and hose fitted 2024
• Lockers insulated
• Chartplotter added in 2023.

Evie is an excellent example of this eminently trailerable cruiser. Hunter 20Ts in such good condition and so well equipped are extremely rare. So, early viewing was advised and the viewer was rewarded with a quick purchase. So, this boat has now SOLD.
