Design
The Hunter 37.5 Legend is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom with a swimming platform and ladder, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 16,400 lb (7,439 kg) and carries 5,900 lb (2,676 kg) of ballast.[1][3][4]

The boat was designed using CAD software. Standard factory equipment supplied included 130% roller furling genoa, fully battened mainsail, self-tailing winches, fore and aft cabins, sleeping accommodation for seven people, built-in solar panel, knotmeter, depth sounder, marine VHF radio, a teak and holly cabin sole, compressed natural gas stove and oven, anchor, a fog bell, emergency tiller and life jackets.[3]
