The Hunter 27 represents one of the most successful entrylevel cruisers in the history of American fiberglass boatbuilding. First introduced in 1975 as a design by the renowned John Cherubini, the original 27 remained in production until 1984, with over 2,000 hulls completed. This model was instrumental in establishing Hunter Marine’s reputation for "volume for value," offering a coastal cruiser with standing headroom and inboard engine options that were often missing from competitors in the same size bracket. The nameplate was later revived in 2005 with a completely different design by Glenn Henderson, which brought modern performance features and the B&R rig to a new generation of sailors.
