Sails

Headsail - Furling ()

The backstayless Bergstrom rig is easy to handle: with a relatively small headsail sheet loads are lessened, and the big main is effective in light airs. The only downside to the rig (apart from nervousness at not having a backstay) is that the sharply aft-raked spreaders restrict the ability of the sail to be set running.

Although those accustomed to more conventional rigs with backstays tend to be dubious about the Bergstrom rig, as supplied by Hunter it is in fact safe and reliable, with many thousands in use worldwide.

The Hunter Legend 340 is a development of the Hunter 335 and 336 boats from the early to mid 90s. Introduced in 1997, and sharing the same hull as the earlier versions, this yacht has the by now almost trademark Hunter cockpit arch supporting the mainsail sheet track, keeping the track well out of harms way for children in the large, family-friendly cockpit. The backstayless Bergström fractional rig with solid mast struts instead of one set of lower shrouds looks unusual, but has been well proven, and having the large roached mainsail as the main source of driving power makes handling easy, with lighter genoa sheet loads when tacking. Yachting Monthly described these boats as "...easy to sail, and reasonably quick".

While very comfortable in harbour, the 340 does not really have a single berth properly usable at sea . The saloon table has two folding leaves, allowing it to be used as a dinette-style 4-seater, or to seat the full six by using the starboard settee. The dinette converts to a double berth, and forward of this is the separate two berth forecabin.

Broker's Comments

These boat details are subject to contract.
Legend 340s are American-built Hunters, and offer remarkable interior space and comfort for the price. They are very much designed for comfort in a marina, particularly in warm climates, but also provide good sailing performance in the sort of light to moderate conditions most leisure sailors actually go out in.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

This Hunter Legend 340 has been personally photographed and viewed by Jamie Nash of Boatshed Kent. Click here for contact details.
