Integrated Design Blends Sail and Power Together in a
Trailerable Package
America’s largest sailboat producer, Hunter Marine Corporation,
has now completed prototype testing of its latest model; the Legend
27 “Edge”.
It may seem strange, in today’s energy-focused environment, that
Legend would develop a sailing craft with a powerboat twist.
However, in recognition that its customers are requesting more
flexibility in a small trailerable package, Legend has responded
with a multi-purpose family sport boat that is sure to please
active families who enjoy being on the water.
The new Legend 27 Edge offer boaters a new level of integrated
design. The Edge blends the freedom of sailing with the flexibility
of a powerboat – combined in a trailerable package. Depending on
the weather, or your own desire, you can choose to raise the sails
– or lower the engine. Sailing, fishing, sightseeing, swimming, and
wake-boarding are all part of the on-water family activities the
Edge can bring to your leisure time. The unique hull shape
allows for excellent sailing characteristics, plus provides a
stable platform for planing under power. Trailerability is enhanced
with a swing keel, water ballast, plus a simple mast raising
system.
The interior features two double berths, a generous galley and
large salon - accented by warm Cherry laminates. 1.8m headroom and
large windows enhance the spacious feeling for days and nights
aboard.
