Summary Analysis of the Design Ratios for the Hunter 356

eBook: How to Avoid Buying the Wrong Sailboat

1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 20.0 suggests that the Hunter 356 will, in the right conditions, approach her maximum hull speed readily and satisfy the sailing performance expectations of most cruising sailors. 

2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 36.1 means that a sailboat like the Hunter 356 (which doesn't have a stiffness-enhancing bulb keel), is likely to benefit from being reefed early to keep her sailing upright in a moderate breeze.

3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 217, tells us the Hunter 356 is a moderate displacement cruiser, which means she'll carry all your cruising gear without it having a dramatic effect on her performance. Most of today's sailboats intended for offshore cruising fall into this displacement category.

4. Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 24.5 suggests that crew comfort of a Hunter 356 in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a coastal cruiser with moderate stability, which is not encouraging news for anyone prone to seasickness. 

5. The Capsize Screening Formula of 2.0 tells us that a Hunter 356 would not be as good a choice of sailboat for ocean passage-making, owing to the increased risk of capsize in strong winds and heavy seas when compared to a sailboat with a CSF of less than 2.0.

The Hunter 356: A Great Choice for Recreational Sailors

The Hunter 356 was designed by Glenn Henderson and introduced in 2000 by Hunter Marine, one of the largest sailboat manufacturers in the US. The Hunter 356 is part of a scaled series that includes the smaller Hunter 306 and 326, and was later developed into the Hunter 36-2 in 2008. The Hunter 356 won the award for Best Production Cruiser Under $200,000 from Cruising World magazine in 2001, and has been praised for its value, quality and performance.

Accommodation

The Hunter 356 has a spacious and comfortable interior, with plenty of natural light and ventilation from the many ports and hatches. The boat can accommodate up to six people in two separate cabins and the saloon.

The forward cabin has a large V-berth that can sleep two adults comfortably, with storage lockers underneath and shelves on both sides. There is also a hanging locker and a vanity with a sink and mirror on the port side.

The aft cabin has an athwartships double berth that can also sleep two adults comfortably, with storage lockers underneath and shelves on both sides. There is also a hanging locker on the starboard side.

The saloon has a U-shaped dinette on the starboard side that can seat six people around a large table that can be lowered to convert into another double berth if needed. There is also a settee on the port side that can seat two people or serve as a single berth.

The galley is located on the starboard side aft of the saloon, and has everything you need to prepare meals on board. It has a two-burner stove with oven, a double stainless steel sink with hot and cold water, a top-loading refrigerator/freezer, a microwave oven, and plenty of storage cabinets and drawers.

The navigation station is located on the port side aft of the saloon, opposite the galley. It has a large chart table with storage underneath, an electrical panel, a VHF radio, and space for other instruments and devices.

The head is located on the port side forward of the saloon, next to the forward cabin door. It has a marine toilet with holding tank, a shower with hot and cold water, a sink with vanity and mirror, and a wet locker for hanging wet clothes.

The boat has a generous amount of headroom throughout, ranging from 6.4 ft (1.95m) in the saloon to 5.8 ft (1.77m) in the aft cabin.

The boat also has a 12V DC and 110V AC electrical system, with outlets in every cabin, a water heater, a battery charger, and a stereo system with speakers.

Hull and Deck The Hunter 356 has a solid fiberglass hull with a balsa core sandwich construction for stiffness and insulation. The hull is white with a blue boot stripe and a gold cove stripe. The deck is also fiberglass with a balsa core, and has molded-in nonskid surfaces for safety and traction. The deck is white with gray accents.

The boat has a wide and open cockpit, with high coamings and comfortable seats. There is a stern rail seat on each side of the cockpit, which provides a great view and a place to relax. There is also a folding cockpit table that can be mounted on the pedestal for dining or drinks.

The boat has a walk-through transom that leads to a swim platform with a folding ladder for easy access to the water. There is also a hot and cold water shower on the transom for rinsing off after swimming or diving.

The boat has stainless steel bow and stern pulpits, stanchions, lifelines, handrails, and cleats for safety and durability. The boat also has an anchor locker on the bow, with an electric windlass for easy anchoring. The boat comes with a Delta anchor with chain and rode, as well as a spare Danforth anchor.

The boat has an aluminum toe rail that runs along the edge of the deck, which provides extra strength and attachment points for blocks and lines. The boat also has six opening ports, four fixed ports, five opening hatches, and two dorade vents for light and ventilation.

Mast and Rigging The Hunter 356 has an anodized aluminum mast that is deck-stepped on a stainless steel compression post. The mast is 55.33 ft (16.87 m) tall from the waterline, which means it can clear most bridges and power lines. The mast has two sets of swept-back spreaders and no backstay, which gives it more support and reduces the load on the masthead.

The boat has a fractional sloop B&R rig, which means it has a large mainsail and a small jib that are both furling. The mainsail is mast-furling, which means it can be rolled up inside the mast by turning a line on the cockpit. The jib is roller-furling, which means it can be rolled up on the forestay by turning another line on the cockpit.

The boat has stainless steel wire standing rigging that connects the mast to the deck at four points: the chainplates on both sides of the hull near the shrouds, and the stemhead fitting on the bow near the forestay. The boat also has low-stretch polyester running rigging that controls the sails: halyards to hoist them up, sheets to trim them in or out, outhauls to adjust their shape, and reefing lines to reduce their size.

The boat has all lines led aft to the cockpit through organizers and clutches for convenience and safety. The boat has two self-tailing winches on the cabin top for halyards and reefing lines, and two larger self-tailing winches on the coaming for sheets. The boat also has two winch handles that can be stored in holders on the coaming.

The boat comes with a mainsail cover that protects the sail when it is furled inside the mast, as well as a UV protection strip on the jib that protects it from sun damage when it is furled on the forestay.

Keel and Rudder The Hunter 356 has a fixed fin keel that gives it good stability and performance upwind. The keel is made of lead encapsulated in fiberglass, which makes it strong and resistant to corrosion.

The boat has an internally-mounted spade-type rudder that gives it good maneuverability and responsiveness. The rudder is made of fiberglass with a stainless steel stock and shaft that connects to the wheel steering system through cables and pulleys.

Seven of the 29 boats we sailed are series-built sloops of traditional cruising design marked by moderate displacement-to-length and sail-area-to-displacement ratios, as well as simple rigs and sailplans. Of those, three are priced below the $200K mark.

The Etap 34s is a sprightly sloop from Belgium that’s built with enough foam between its hull skins to keep floating–and sailing–even after it’s fully flooded (though, sadly, we didn’t get the chance to test it that way). The Beneteau 393 is a spacious two- or three-cabin sloop modeled on last year’s successful 473.

The prize for Best Production Cruiser Under $220,000 goes to the aft-cockpit Hunter 356, a boat Ralph called “a paradigm shift for Hunter.” It’s a boat with a clean cockpit layout, good quality interior features, and owner-friendly systems; a boat whose production facility has been overhauled in the last year; and a boat that at $114,000 represents a remarkable value.Congratulations to all the folks at Hunter.

"Owner opinion" on the Hunter 356

  • Thread starter Tony
  • Start date Nov 20, 2002
  • Hunter Owner Forums

Hello Everyone, We have almost made up our mind to purchase a new 2003 Hunter 356...the problem being we have not sailed one. We were to wait till next spring to take a test sail & decide at that time whether or not it was the boat for us. However....., recently we have come across a deal that is very hard to pass up & we would really appreciate any comments from owners of the Hunter 356 including all the good points as well as not so good points. Sincerely, Tony & Josee  

356 Feedback Boy, I have nothing but good things to say about the boat having had mine since April (on Lake Erie). There were some major leak problems with it but come to find out the Hunter Factory found out that it was missing its "pressurized leak inspection" signature at the factory so they've been real good about getting those things handled. I love the accommodations on the boat, the feel of the boat (large, yet manueverable) and it clips along nicely at 5 to 7 knots in 10-20 knot winds. I wrote a review of my first sail on it last April that RCR Yachts (the dealer in Buffalo, NY) ended up putting on their website........here: http://www.rcryachts.com/356review.htm you can read it if you like. By the way, please email me what the 'deal' on the boat is that is so good right now, I'd be curious to know ([email protected]). I can't imagine you would be disappointed in the boat if you want a comfortable, fast cruising boat that can be sailed well short-handed.  

John Dorsett

We may be buying one too. Tony We have been looking at the 356 for a few months and have taken it out for a test sail twice. My wife and I sail in Long Island Sound and we currently have a Catalina 30. We are recreational sailors and do not sail in bad weather if we can avoid it. The first test sail however was with an ASA instructor as the salesman was not available. We were aprehensive as the wind was 20 to 30 knots with 3 to 4 foot seas. The instructor unfurled about 1/4 of the main (in mast furling) and a small amount of the genoa. The boat heeled over about 15 to 20 degrees and we were doing 6 knots. What was remarkable was the balance of the boat and the way she sliced through the waves. We were very comfortable and impressed. We did let out a little more of the main and started to experience some leech flutter as has been described in this forum. We changed our heading headed down and the flutter stopped. The second test sail had similar conditions and we did not have the boat balanced as well. We were with the salesman and not the instructor. The boat still handled well but did have some weather helm. We have been reading posts about hatch and port leaks on the 356 and that has us a little concerned We have also test sailed the Catalina 350 which was OK but we did not appreciate the cabin layout. Also the boat was ~ $20K US more. We are currently negotiating with the dealer on a 2003 with in mast furling, bimini arch traveler, dodger cushions A/C wind instruments, refridgeration freezer and an auto pilot. I would certainly like to know what others have paid as I can't seem to get a good reference price. MarcP

Love the Boat Tony and anyone else, I have had my H356 for three weeks now and cannot begin to express the fun we have had. The trip from North Carolina was something else and showed me what a wise descision my wife made in making me buy this boat. Under what I would call severe conditions the boat handled very well. The professional captain was amazed at the handling abilities and the ease of changing sails. Roller jib and main. Made him happy. My dealer let me put on several options myself, like autopilot and it saved lots of money over what they wanted me to pay. Want to talk price, email me [email protected] Jim S/V Java  

A very good boat Glen Henderson designed a wonderful boat. In light winds she almost sails herself. She needs to be reefed earlier and deeper than I am used to, but with more and more experience we’re finding the right combination of main and jib to sail comfortably in 25 to 30 knots. We had the vang position changed and now the main sheet can be two blocked. The main looked better in light winds. We are expecting some nasty weather this Saturday for a seven hour slog to windward back to the dealer. I’ll let you know how she handles and if the leech flutter is gone. If you talk to anyone with a scoop transom you’ll hear about wave slap against the hull. It is not bad at anchor where you’re pointed into the wind, but at dock you’ll be amazed at how loud it can get in the aft berth and how annoying can be. The “slap silencer” available from the chandlery on this site is worth the$260. The 356 sails around her anchor more than any other boat I’ve owned. I’ll be thinking about how to rig a riding sail without a backstay this winter. Any ideas out there? The 22 # Delta anchor and 12 feet of chain that come standard are too light and too short. I’d recommend trading up to the 35 and adding 20 feet of chain. Then of course, you want a windlass – a very nice addition and great for keeping peace in the marriage. The double bow roller will not hold two properly sized anchors without damaging the hull. Hunter knows about this and if enough people complain, maybe we'll get a real two anchor roller. If you do any single-handing you want the autopilot. The winches are not set up for single-handed sailing. I’d up-grade to the 5000 with a hydralic ram. It fits nicely into the large lazzarret. It’s out of the weather and powerful enough to steer in waves. The archives have stories of the 4000 slipping in tough weather. (Both Beneteau and Jeaneau use the 6000 series for the same size and weight boats.) I’d also recommend a chart plotter. I’m just amazed every time I turn it on. If you get refrig you’ll need more battery capacity. I am using 2-27’s in parallel with a third for the engine. I’m hoping not to have to upgrade to 4-D’s and a larger alt. We’ll see. The in mast furling is certainly easy to use. You loose about 12% performance in light air, particularly to windward when you are sailing the aft half of the sail. ( The 12% comes from Henderson) However, this boat is so fast and so light with such a tall rig that I expect those with full roach mains are reefing at 15 knots or lower. Given the light winds on the sound, it’s something to think about. Hunter has always been a lot of boat for the money. The 356 is also a fine boat for the money. It is easy and fun to sail and with a few modification can take you most anywhere you want to go. Will S/v Natural Magic

I love mine IN all, I've had very few problems, and most were commissioning items that are a nuisance rather than serious safety issues. The worst i've had her in is 25 kts and 4-6 ft seas. She tracks straight as an arrow. The helm gets stiff over 6 knots due to the hydro forces on the rudder, but my 4000 autopilot handles this just fine. The dealership delivered her in 6-8 ft seas and 25kts. They were very pleased, as this was their first loong cruise. The loose footed main takes a bit of an attitude adjustment in trim, but sails well into the high teens and low 20's without reefing, if you don't mind the heel to 20-25 degrees. Very, very stable! Plenty of room below and I use the freezer for a beer cooler. That's because I have yet to fill the huge fridge to capacity! I guess I can't say enough about her. If you want more specifics, feel free to call me 207-775-6000 x 1232, or e mail me [email protected] Go for it!  

Yes Our experience is consistent with the other postings. All in all, we love the boat, and it's a terrific deal for the money. We have the standard main, not roller, and I really like that, as well. I sail on Lake MIchigan out of Milwaukee SSYC. Feel free to call or email, 414-297-5537, [email protected].

Great boat We bought the boat without sailing it first. We were a little concerned but the price and the dealer helped us make up our mind. It was the best thing we ever did. We and our partners just returned from a weekend in Newport. We have sailed it to Mexico and to San Diego and it has not disappointed us. The only problem was we should have had it waxed when we first got it and that would have solved some waterspot and small rusting issues. The boat was kept in Mexico for the first few months and there was construction nearby the deposited dirt on the boat and we were not there to wash the boat often. When we returned from Mexico we had the boat detailed and waxed and now it is very easy to keep clean.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
