Seller's Description
The Hunter Legend 43 is known for its solid performance under sail and comfort at anchor. Its sleek design, spacious cockpit, and ease of handling make it ideal for long-distance cruising, living aboard, or weekend getaways. Perseverance has been well-maintained with regular servicing and upgrades over the years.
The well designed and spacious cockpit make sailing a breeze, and all lines lead aft to the cockpit, there’s also an electric winch which makes hoisting or trimming the mainsail effortless.
She has the desirable three-cabin layout with a large salon and dining area. The aft master stateroom boast a queen sized berth, and a forward guest cabin offers a roomy V-berth. To starboard, aft of the dining table you’ll find another cabin with two pullman berths and the navigation station.
Port side midship there’s a fully equipped galley with double sinks, a stove, oven, refrigerator, freezer, and ample storage. There are two heads with showers off each cabin, one forward and one aft. There is a generator which provides ample air-conditioning throughout.
Perseverance could use a little attention on a few minor cosmetic issues, below she shows well and has been well cared for. Due to health issues the owner has not been able to look after her recently. She was just hauled out (late October ‘24) and had four coats of fresh anti-fouling as well as a thorough cleaning before launching in early November.
This yacht provides a great opportunity to get into a proven and comfortable cruiser for a fair price. She also comes with a lightly used dinghy and outboard.
She’s ready to sail away with you onto new adventures, and is already in one of the worlds best cruising grounds. Offers Encouraged!

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
9.9 kn
Classic: 8.26 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
-
16.3
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
-
31.9
<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
-
193.7
100-200: light
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
-
27.6
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 ocean passages
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
