Hunter 54 history

• Hunter Owner Forums

I am trying to find any information on the Hunter 54 that Warren Luhrs raced around the world. Was it a prototype that was more heavily built than the production Hunter 54's? Where is the boat now? I would appreciate any information anyone can provide. Thanks.  

Thursdays Child perhaps? Are you thinking of Thursdays Child that raced in the 94-95 BOC? I believe it was originally raced around the world in the early 80's (perhaps by Warren)? I think this boat is 60' but I'm not certain. I have numerous racing photos of her. The owner during the BOC race was Arnold Taylor of Portsmouth NH. I've attached a link to the organization that now operates Thursdays Child. She is being used to raise money for charities directed at saving marine mammals.[email protected]

Or maybe Hunter's Child... Hunter's Child was built in the early 90s and also raced in a BOC, sailed by Steve Pettingill.Hunter's Child was on display, either right before or right after that race, at Sail Expo in Atlantic City in '93 or '94. She was built specifically to race in the BOC...I don't remember how well she did, or what became of her afterward.  

Some history. I like your question. I hope we see lots of answers. I tried a Google search("Hunter's Child Sailboat") and found a few things. One is in the Related Link. I was fortunate just to get aboard the HC50 once at Annapolis.  

It seems odd but the boat you describe... was in an e-Bay auction about a month ago. I tried to get a fellow skipper to pursue it. If I remember right (this is becoming more difficult as I get older) but the minimum bid was like $37K. The boat was located in the LA area.Terry

Open 60 Thursdays Child is an Open 60 built by Bergstrom & Ridder. It was this boat that was skippered by Luhrs, and Hunter's Child was skippered by Pettingill. Thursdays Child, if I recall correctly, was the prototype for the B&R rig. I saw it about three years ago when it was being restored in the KKMI yard in Richmond. It was DEFINATELY not a Hunter 54.  

Take a look on yachtworld.com Alittle off subject but go to yachtworld.com for hunter 54's for sale. A few months ago someone sailed from the west coast to hawaii on one and gave day to day acount of their trip. Too bad a 54 wont fit on the river. craig

Quoted text from the Hunter 54 Brochure When I bought my 1982 Hunter 54, I was lucky enough to obtain an original brochure of the Hunter 54. Below is quoted text from the brochure and I'm attaching a picture of the full brochure (All 4 Pages, Enjoy!) Note that since I can only upload a 80k photo, please email me ([email protected]) if you desire a high resolution image of this brochure.Quoted from Hunter Brochure "After three years of research and 15,000 miles at sea and four transatlantic crossings - the Hunter 54 is ready.There's never been anything like her. Our goal was to create a production yacht which combined the style and performance of the finest custom grand prix boats with the comfort, stability and ease-of-handling of a true world-class cruiser. The result is the Hunter 54, a product of three years of development and thousands of offshore miles (including four transatlantic passages) in all kinds of conditions. The 54 is not only a sophisticated combination of the best of current technology, but also launches several innovative new design concepts.  One of the most unique features is a gracefully reversed transom that is not only stepped to provide a convenient boarding platform, but also opens to revel a water-tight compartment housing the dinghy! This feature provides an extremely easy method of boarding from the water, and also eliminates the towing of a tender. Another remarkable feature is a solar charging system which keeps the batteries on charge when the auxiliary is not in use. There are very few custom yachts that can compare with the Hunter 54 in beauty, comfort or performance. The 54 is an extremely fast yacht, un-compromised by any racing rule, yet designed and rigged to be stable and easy to handle under all conditions. Perhaps the most important aspect of the new 54 is that it is a Hunter - a trueproduction yacht complete with Cruise Pac, the most complete standard equipment list available. This also means that the cost of a fully equipped Hunter 54 is substantially below similar boats with no standard equipment. Standards include roller furling; on deck anchor well and anchor roller; pedestal steering; and self tailing winches. Below decks is an inviting entertainment area, comprised of a spacious main salon with twin dining tables, a complete galley, and private staterooms fore and aft with individual heads and showers. There are two companionways with wet lockers for each, and unusually easy engine access via a removable galley unit.  Special design features make the Hunter 54 particularly strong and safe. An internal, unidirectional glass frame stiffens the hull and carries all major hull and rig loads, thus relieving the hull itself from major stresses. A special A-frame carries mast compression and also takes shroud loads via stainless steel tie rods, and a special keel receiver is designed to absorb the shock of running aground. Auxiliary power comes from a 48hp diesel. The Hunter 54 is truly a breakthrough in high-performance, offshore cruising. And its Hunter heritage means quality and completeness with exceptional affordability."

1982 Hunter '54

Hi Negrini, Thanks for your thoughts, on the back of strong advice I will not be considering the Hunter 54 at this stage. It was the lines of the boat and its sailing performance that I found attractive, the length didn't really come into the selection process, although the available deck space for family and friends on a Hunter 54 was very appealing. I was just looking for a boat that would be fun to sail, be capable of coastal cruising and was in my opinion, beautiful and when I saw the H54 the first time and the prices they are selling for, my enthusiasm overtook my sensibility. I am yet to come across another boat that looks as good, sails as good, has the space for family and friends and is also 20 feet shorter! But the research is fun.  

Cayoosh, Good luck in what ever size you decide to persue. It is unfortunate that mid 30' boats don't have the accomodations of a 52'...but if they did, who would buy a 52'? I had an older 33' Hunter of Cherubini design in the mid 90's - nice boat, but not enough room for my family of 5 so I kind of know what you're going thru. I have a 41' ketch that I'm finishing up the restoration on and hope to be in the water yet this year. Excellent Thread! All, I just want to say that I enjoyed the flow of information without the bashing that takes place most everywhere. Thank you all for keeping it on point and not letting it drift off course, so to speak. It was these types of informative posts that made me join SailNet in the first place. I'm hopeful we are moving back in the direction it appears we are. Thanks, and keep up the good work guys!

Wise choice to pass on such a large "first boat". Find something in the 30-35 foot range that you can take anywhere under any conditions - remember, every sail is an adventure! There are lots of coastal boats that have ventured well offshore, but the owners have been lucky. Note that there are no Hunters, Catalinas or Irwins on the Bluewater Capable boat list at the begining of this category. If you plan to do much offshore sailing, look at Cape Dory, Pearsons over 35 feet, Bristols, Pacific Seacraft, etc. all nice boats that will serve you well in any weather.  

I just noticed this thread and want to weigh in here. The Hunter 54 is a boat that has always caught my attention. The orignal design was based on one Warren Luhrs first trans-oceanic racers. Its my understanding that the design was penned by Paul Lindenburg, who I consider to be one of the most creative designers of that period, one who understood structurall design more than many designers of that period and one who understood how to produce designs that are both seaworthy and fast. In many ways the design of the 54 anticipated design concepts employed in the Volvo 60 round the world racers that were to occur decades later. The original layout of these boats resulted in a very comfortable and functional design, one that worked well as a liveaboard and worked reasonably well offshore, as well as, for coastal cruising, solving many of the complex issues of a performance offshore design, including such radical concepts as the dinghy garage which eliminated the need for davits, (I consider davits to be a dingy storage device that I personally think of as the last resort offshore). While Hunters' build quality is generally viewed with some sketicism some of which is deserved and some mere prejudice, Hunters of this period were well constructed, with build quaility on a par with other more respected and revered manufacturers. The 54 has been blasted for design details such as their use of a galvanized steel steering quadrant, but at that time, steel quadrants were seen as being a stronger and more reliable solution than the aluminum quadrants that were then becoming popular. In conversations with surveyors who have looked at these boats, their comments were that Hunter did a very good job on the basic structure and an extremely good job on the systems. Many of these boats have been successful voyagers. There used to be a fellow on Sailnet whose family had done a successful circimnavigation on one and who spoke glowingly of the boat. There is a tendancy to look at this boat as being a very large boat and therefore perhaps hard to handle or expensive to own. I think this may be overstated by those who are not familiar with the design. Ease of handling and maintenance costs are generally proportional to the displacement of the boat rather than to its overall length. The Hunter 54 was comparatively light for its length and so ease of handling and maintenance costs should be down around the costs of a 45 footer. Similarly, the purchase price of boats is often more proportionate to their displacement than to their length and so the inexpensive price on these boats reflect their age, their displacement and the predjudice against Hunters. Many of these boats have had thorough refits and upgrades over the years and so represent a great value given the capabilities and capacities of the design. Like any boat of this era, a careful survey should be undertaken with attention to such details as deck coring condition and blisters, which are common in boats of all manufacteres from this era. Respectfully, Jeff  

The Hunter 54 Hi Cayoosh, You will find that the Hunter 54 is a very different boat than a typical Hunter. I've been tracking Hunter 54 prices for the last 10 years, they have took the normal dip in value after the 20 year mark. A yacht 20 in age is what most lenders will finance, so 20+ year yachts typically dip in value after that mark due to the buying pool becomes less. Historically H54's can be had from 120k-70k depending on condition. The Hunter 54 was designed as an Ocean Racer. Some of the features that I like are its safety. It is a very fast boat and that makes it much more safer than a slower boat. It also has all of the other numbers/formulas as far as stability goes. Its boom only extends just shy of the companionway entrance, so there is zero chance of getting smacked in the head with the boom while in the cockpit or going below. All controls run into the cockpit. The Rudder placement as some have stated makes her a little weird in a following sea, that it makes her super maneuverable when docking. All of that said, the Hunter 54 was built in 1981-1984 so that makes for a boat that could be full of issues due to age and corrosion as with any boat of that age. An old boat of that age will most likely need certain areas and systems to be updated/restored. Again, checkout "hunter 54 dot com" for more info. Stirling ,  

Jeff H, Thank you for a very thorough and thoughtful comment on your knowledge and experience with these boats. It is probable that I may be a bit scared off the boat after some of the other inputs, however, I see no harm in actually going and taking one for a sail with a bunch of very experienced sailors to gather their hands on comments as well. No doubt if there is a temtation to proceed, a very thorough survey will be undertaken. Also a copy of an old Hunter 54 brochure was emailed to me by Hunter Marine and it says that the boat was designed by John Cherubini and Cortland Steck. Stirling, your website is a fabulous insight into some of the details of a Hunter 54, thank you for providing all the history as well.  

My understanding is that Paul Lindenburg designed the hull for Warren Luhrs distance racer, and then Cherubini, who was sort of the in house designer, designed the modifications from the original raceboat design such as the deck plan, interior, rig and keel. I got that second hand at a boat show when these were new boats, but then again its a long time ago and I have never followed it up, so it could be wrong. Jeff  

Jeff, I have no doubt you are correct, I was just letting you know what it said on the brochure.  

Cayoosh, I did not mean my comments as a criticism. In fact, I very much appreciated that you responded my comment on Paul Lindenburg. It reminded me of something that I had forgotten over the years. I am sorry if my note #27 sounded like I was unappreciative of your setting the record straight. Regards, Jeff  

Jeff H, There was no offence offered or taken in my opinion, just two blokes sharing information. I am still overwhelmed by your original post and your knowledge of boats, and in this instance the Hunter 54. I am still considering taking the boat for a sail just to at the least satisfy my curiosity about the boat and how she sails. Thanks Richie  

A 36 ft is about the limit of what I can handle alone, and finding crew is not all that easy. A 54 ft is awfully big, methinks, but it will be fast.  

avahunter54

We just bought H54 I am looking for any manuals or blue print ? I will pay for copy's and shipping.  

Avahunter54, Would love to talk with you about your experience with buying the Hunter 54. I am a lic. Capt. who delivers sailboats on the East coast and am looking forward to chartering / live aboard/cruising. Have been researching for years, and have met some very knowledgible sailors. I am considering a h54 that has been in freshwater in the US. Wondering how you are faring. Fair winds, Capt. A. T.  

Capt, Ava only posted one time a year ago. I doubt if you will be hearing from him/her.

cayoosh said: Hi everyone, I have stumbled across a Hunter 54 and think they are one of the prettiest boats I have seen. All the research I have done, and it has been hard to find, seems to point to the fact that these boats were very advanced for their time and are a very capable boat. Most of my sailing has been on skiffs and cats but have in recent years had a season sailing etchells and am keen to progress to an easy to manage cruiser. Most of my sailing will be harbour and coastal with some longer passages as experience and confidence grows. Some friends have suggested looking at a 30-35 foot boat but the Hunter 54 seems to tick so many boxes and for its length actually has a smallish sail plan. They are about 100k and I consider that good value for money. It is a Cherubini designed boat and others have been raced singlehanded from San Fran to Hawaii. Can anyone give an honest appraisall of this boat and its ease of sailing without turning it into a production boat sledging thread. Thanks ! Click to expand...
