OK, here's the story. Last summer we were fortunate enough to find our “dream boat” the 1982 37ft. Cherubini Hunter.For those of you who are unfamiliar with John Cherubini, he is remembered as the legendary boat designer who was hired by racing legend Wally Luhrs to design a fleet of sailboats for Wally's new company, Hunter Marine. John who was also an aviation engineer, created a fleet of boats ranging in length from 25 – 54ft, though the 37ft. cutter is considered his masterpiece. John unfortunately contracted cancer and passed away in 1983. Around that same time, Wally Luhrs moved the Hunter factory from its original location in New Jersey to Florida, where the Hunter fleet got re-designed. In retrospect, many sailors will tell you that the quality of the Hunter line deteriorated. The Cherubini Hunter's are highly coveted by sailors in the know and they have almost a cult-like following. The Cherubini family continues producing John's original designs and still creates not only sailboats but powerboats as well, under the company name, Cherubini Yachts. This particular 37 ft. cutter, hull #304, is one of the first to incorporate a new design change. In May of 1982, the traveler, which originally was in the cockpit was moved to above the companionway. IMO, that design change was brilliant and I feel very lucky to own one, but here's my problem, which is now your opportunity Last summer, we purchased this boat from two gentlemen who reluctantly came to the conclusion that they were no longer physically capable of sailing. So me and my wife, an avid sailor, rented a car, drove to New Jersey, purchased the boat and motored it up the East River to its new home in Huntington, Long Island, were we immediately pulled it out of the water and put her up on boat stands for the rest of the year. Our intent was to do a major cleaning in the Spring, then sail and enjoy the boat this summer, while slowly restoring it back to perfection. Then my wife who is an super talented business professional was offered her dream job...in Los Angeles, California. So guess what, we're moving to California. I'd love to sail this boat through the Panama Canal, but to be honest, I'm really not at the skill level to do that and the boat is really more equipped as a coastal cruiser. Shipping the boat across the country is just not financially feasible. So it looks like it has to be sold. As I stated before, we purchased this boat from two older gentlemen, who used this boat primarily as a summer weekend getaway. The boat was filled from bow to stern with stuff. According to one of the partners, they had 3 of everything. When we got the boat on land, in order just to see how the systems are laid out, I pulled every single thing off the boat and stored it in boxes in my garage. The interior was meticulously cleaned, the teak was oiled and the cushions were thoroughly steam cleaned. As for the exterior, the entire top and bottom was pressure washed. The faded blue painted stripe and the dried out vinyl logo stripe was removed. The hull above the waterline was sanded with 220 grit fine sandpaper then buffed with rubbing compound and waxed. The bottom was sanded smooth and painted with West Marine Bottom Shield Copper Ablative paint. A new waterline stripe was then added. On the topside, the anchor locker and the decks on either side of the cabin and cockpit were painted with Pettit Topside Polyurethane their original color, Grand Banks Beige. The propeller shaft and the prop were sanded smooth and 2 new zincs were bolted into place. The prop and shaft were then painted with the same bottom paint that was used on the hull. And that's where it stands. As of today July 6th the boat is scheduled to go back in the water where it will be motored to a mooring in Centerport Harbor. There it will be available for viewing. The following is a list of some of the equipment that comes with the boat: 135 Genoa Storm Jib Yankee Jib Staysail Main Sail Mac Pac for the Main with Lazy Jacks Garmin GPS Auto Pilot Life Jackets 3 Fire Extinguishers VHF Radio Panasonic CD Radio and 2 exterior West Marine Speakers Anchors (2) Rode Anchor line Deck Lines Fenders Bimini Dodger Wind vane and an extra wind vane Misc. Lines and Rope Brand new Salt Water Pump Brand New Fresh Water Pump 2 Burner Propane Stove Tools Parts and Miscellaneous stuff up the wazoo. This is not a brand new boat, but it's a solid boat that needs to be maintained like any boat, but this boat is perfectly sail able and can take you just about anywhere you need to go, right now, in comfort and style. I'd rather not sell this boat, but life intervenes.Please post any questions you have, I'll try my best to answer them to the best of my ability. Best of Luck!
