The Hunter 40 is an American sailboat that was designed by Cortland Steck and first built in 1984.[1][2][3][4]
The design was originally marketed by the manufacturer as the Hunter 40, but is now usually referred to as the Hunter 40-1 or the Hunter 40 Legend, to differentiate it from the unrelated 2012 Marlow-Hunter 40 design, which is sometimes called the Hunter 40-2.[1][5]
