1996 Hunter 280

Sonrisa is a 1996 Hunter 280 located in Alexandria VA, with a shoal draft (3 6) and can easily be sailed singlehandedly. We had numerous adventures on her up and down the Potomac and on the Chesapeake Bay. It is time for us to move to a bigger boat, which will allow you to set sail on this little cruiser.

The interior of Sonrisa is spacious, bright, and inviting, with an open design that makes the space feel much bigger for a boat of this size; with white easy to maintain finishes, and a teak and holly cabin sole. Good light and ventilation are provided by multiple windows, hatch and ports, and the companionway that is protected with a Bugbuster insect screen.

The v-berth can be extended to double adult size, has an overhead hatch, and port and starboard reading lights.

The salon has a wraparound settee with storage lockers under, the dinette table can be converted to a double berth, and there is a hanging locker on the port side.

The head is to the portside of the companionway; with a Jabsco head, manual pump (2018), PVC holding tank and hoses (2018), Corian countertop with molded sink, recessed storage, mirror and dome light, handheld shower (2018), and faucet (2018), upper and lower cabinets, storage locker, and port.

The aft cabin is comfortable and well ventilated, has a double berth with storage lockers under, hull and cockpit ports, one window, two lights and a fan.

The well-designed L-shaped galley to starboard allows food preparation at the dock, anchor or underway. The galley has a deep stainless-steel sink with pressure hot and cold water, insulated top loading ice box, the Corian counter tops have a foldable extension, and there are lower and upper storage compartments. The Origo 4100 two burner alcohol stove is safe and simple to use, with a port above the stove and the companion way that provide good ventilation while cooking.
