1996 Hunter 26 Trailer Sailer, complete and ready to go!
Description
New bottom paint for 2026 and a fully serviced Nissan 9.9hp outboard.
Set sail with freedom and flexibility in this Hunter 26' trailerable sailboat, meticulously maintained and in excellent condition. Designed for both novice sailors and seasoned cruisers, this versatile boat is the perfect balance of ease of use, comfort, and performance. Whether you're enjoying a peaceful day on the water or heading out for a weekend getaway, the spacious interior comfortably sleeps up to 4 adults, making it ideal for couples, families, or small crews.
Thanks to its lightweight, trailerable design, you can launch from almost any boat ramp with ease—no need for expensive moorage or marina slips. The retractable centerboard allows for shallow-water access and convenient trailering, giving you the freedom to explore new waters whenever the mood strikes.
What you need to know:
The previous owner had damaged the hull, which has been repaired with West epoxy fibreglass and resin. The centre board has been replaced and the rudder as well, this boat is water ballasted which means that when you sail it, you flood the bottom of the boat for stability, then when you bring the boat out of the water, you drain it. The internal ballast tank has a slow leak, which means that some water does seep into the bilge, it is handled by the bilge pump whenever it’s out on the water. The boat has been moored on Lake Cowichan several times for several days at a time without any issue.
The sails are in reasonable condition; there is some staining from some of the metal work, but they are fully serviceable and working.
The boat is easy to handle, and in pretty good condition for its age, and prospective buyers need to come and view it before making offers.
