Accommodations
Generously sized and well laid out in a practical L-shape, the galley is nicely fitted out with a two-burner stove and twin deep stainless-steel sinks set in Corian countertops. Its convenience is enhanced by the ventilation provided by two opening ports, a hatch, and the proximate companionway. The refrigerator and freezer are under-counter, custom stainless-steel units that offer the convenience of front-opening household appliances and leave the counters clear for food preparation. The centerpiece of the main saloon is an eye-catching glossy varnished table with a center leaf that pulls out to convert to a coffee table.
In the aft cabin, the queen-size berth is set athwartships, and by virtue of the cockpit?fs height above the waterline, it?fs neither claustrophobic nor restrictive and is extremely comfortable with the boat at rest. Other amenities in this roomy cabin are a short couch and a vanity table with a Corian dresser top fenced, rather incongruously, by a stainless-steel railing that serves as a strong point for lifting and moving the vanity to access the aft part of the engine.
On the Move
The Hunter 426 has in mast roller main and all the control lines from the mast led to two winches on the cabin top, one on each side of the companionway. The cockpit is roomy and wide, and the centerline table offers good support for those seated to windward.
