Seller's Description
This 1992 Hunter Legend 37.5 is a proven coastal cruiser, her 4’ 10” draft makes cruising The Bahamas and the Keys a reality.
A comfortable cruiser and a capable weekend racer with lots of sail area and cockpit control. Easily handled by a couple and comfortably accommodates 6 to 7.
Well-equipped and upgraded. Below decks, a spacious teak interior with recently refinished teak-holly soles (2024). The main cabin includes a dining area and settee, (sleeps 3), a nav station, a TV, and a complete galley with a propane stove.
The aft cabin is accessed through the galley as well as the full-sized head with shower. The aft cabin has a double berth with an upholstered backrest, hanging and shelf lockers, and generous overhead shelf space. The forward V-berth sleeps 2 and has hanging and shelf lockers. All berths have generous storage below cushions.
Mechanical systems include AC (new in 2018), 12v/ 120v refrigeration / freezer, 12v water heater, and a pressurized hot water system (including a cockpit shower). 12v house and starter batteries and 20A Promarine charger were replaced in November 2024. 50w solar panel and Renology controller (new 2023). 2000w AC / DC inverter, 30a shore power, 50’ Marinco twist lock cord set and adapters.
Hunter Marine’s proprietary power management system with battery selector switch and breakers in the cockpit lazarette.
The Yanmar underwent a major service in 2023 including a cooling system, fuel system, and injectors. The new throttle and shifter cable were replaced in 2024.
The boat was hauled in October 2024, for new bottom paint, hull detailed, running gear reworked, new cutlass bearing, max prop, and dripless shaft log serviced. Steering quadrant, cable and chain, bearings, and brake replaced new in 2023. New Rocna anchor, chain, and line.
Electronics were replaced in 2023: Chartplotter, VHF, wind, and sailing instruments. All navigation lights were replaced with LED.
A full list of upgrades and gear is available for inspection while under contract.

Calculations
- Hull Speed

8.6 kn
Classic: 7.55 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
17.5
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
36.0
<40: less stiff, less powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
228.6
200-300: moderate
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
25.4
20-30: coastal cruiser
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
2.0
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
