Already established as the most successful of the new one-design classes in Britain, the Sonata has had a growth rate which would be the envy of some dinghy classes. She is well built, well finished and is really a true little cruising yacht in many ways. She is fun to sail yet seaworthy enough for short cruises. As the Sonata has already shown herself capable of out-sailing larger boats, she is worth racing in handicap events where there is no one-design class.
There are now around 300 Sonatas sailing around the world, all built by Hunter Boats. Why does the Sonata have such appeal? The answer is probably that she is simple and straightforward, but nevertheless a good performer.

Here is a Hunter Sonata built in 1979 by Hunter Boats Ltd.
The Hunter Sonata is a popular 4 berth cruiser/racer designed by David Thomas, this particular model has been loved by her owners for the last 8 years in that time she has had new coppercoat anti-fouling in 2014, new windows in 2014, new acrylic washboards in 2013, new Headlinings in 2013 and the Barton clutches replaced in 2011. The current owner is looking to step up to a bigger vessel
This appears to be a well looked after boat which would be suitable for newcomers or seasoned sailers alike.
