The Hunter 27-3, introduced in 2005 as a fresh take on the compact cruiser, represents a significant departure from its predecessors. Designed by Glenn Henderson, who took over as Hunter’s chief designer to modernize the fleet, this iteration was built to provide the "big boat" feel of Hunter’s larger 30-plus-foot yachts within a manageable 27-foot footprint. According to editorial reviews in Cruising World, the design goal was to maximize interior volume and cockpit space without sacrificing the nimble handling required of a pocket cruiser. This model is often referred to as the "Henderson 27" to distinguish it from the original 1970s Cherubini design and the later Hunter 27 Edge, a water-ballasted motorsailer that shared the name but utilized a completely different hull form designed for high-speed motoring.
