I have owned this GREAT sailboat for five years. Washed a lot and waxed every four months. I don't sail it enough to justify keeping it.Before buying, I was looking for a 34 - 36 foot boat. Two features that made me consider a "smaller" boat. 1. The length at waterline competes with 34-35 ft boats. 2. The interior spacious and comfortable.You will buy this boat if you see it in person. Make offer!
The Marlow-Hunter 31 follows the pedigree of the 40 and 37 which were also introduced by Marlow-Hunter in the last two years under the new leadership of owner David Marlow. Mr. Marlow, owner of Marlow Yachts, a luxury power yacht builder, has raised the bar by influencing quality and design of a brand that already had forty years of experience building sailboats.
The 31, which has a Length Overall of 32’4” and a beam of 11’10” will be a tough contender for any model in her size range that tries to compete with the volume below. One of her best features is the spacious cockpit that will deliver a feel more like that of a larger boat. Performance will also be one of her strong features with a large sail plan and a Glenn Henderson hull design plus hard chine aft below the waterline which has become a signature for Marlow-Hunter sailboats built under David Marlow.
Below, her quality fit and finish is hand crafted using real teak furniture and floors, Corian countertops, ball bearing drawer hardware and name brand appliances and equipment. The construction of the hull and deck utilizes Vinyl Ester resins and gel-coats, continuous reinforcement fibers, Kevlar and state of the art Nida-coring for structural integrity for ours and our customer’s, peace of mind.
