Broker Comments

Tenacity represents an opportunity to purchase a Hunter 380 whose owner has already addressed many of the expensive items buyers frequently encounter on boats of this age.

The most significant improvement is the replacement of the entire rig in 2023. The mast, boom, roller furler, standing rigging and running rigging have been renewed, and the boat is equipped with newer sails. These upgrades substantially differentiate Tenacity from Hunter 380s that retain aging original spars, rigging or sail-handling equipment.

Additional investment in modern Raymarine electronics, electrical capacity, lifelines, bottom maintenance and onboard comfort has created a boat that is far more current than her model year might suggest.

Her large cockpit can accommodate family and friends, while furling sails and cockpit-led controls make her approachable for a couple or single-handed sailor. Below deck, the full-beam aft stateroom, bright salon and functional galley provide the living space normally associated with a much larger boat.

Accommodations

The Hunter 380 is known for maximizing natural light, ventilation and usable interior volume. Hunter’s signature forward windshield, fixed ports, opening ports and overhead hatches create a bright and welcoming interior.

The main salon features a large convertible dinette to starboard and a facing settee to port. The arrangement provides comfortable seating for entertaining, dining or relaxing, with storage located throughout the cabin.

Construction

The Hunter 380 is constructed with a fiberglass hull and deck, a wing keel with bulb and a balanced spade rudder.

Her design combines a moderate-displacement hull with a broad beam carried aft, creating the large cockpit and full-beam aft stateroom for which the model is known. The fractional rig and furling sail plan are designed to provide manageable sail handling while maintaining good performance in coastal cruising conditions.

Hunter’s stainless-steel cockpit arch moves the traveler and mainsheet above the cockpit seating area. This improves cockpit usability while placing sail controls within reach of the helm.

Interior construction includes molded fiberglass liners, wood bulkheads, cabinetry and trim, a teak-and-holly-style cabin sole and Corian-style galley and head surfaces.
