1985 Hunter 28.5
The Hunter Design Group incorporated a powerful fractional B&R rig, with a modern underbody, resulting in a racer/cruiser that is easily driven. Her fin keel and spade rudder help her point well and makes her easy to handle in close quarters. Kismet is powered by a fresh water cooled Yanmar diesel. Her interior utilizes a modern open layout forward with a huge U-shaped dinette backed by the forward berth. There is no forward bulkhead to reduce the airiness of the salon. For privacy there is a separate aft stateroom.
The Hunter 28.5 is a great performing sailboat with the basic amenities at an attractive price. She is ready to go and is perfect for the beginner, however, she is nimble and fast. This boat is a high performance cruiser and is both large enough for extended cruising for a family, yet small enough to single hand.
Kismet is in good condition, but if you are fussy about appearance the deck non-skid could be painted to improve the overall look.
