Hunter Legend 27 — UK-market name used for the mid-2000s Hunter 27 / Hunter 27-3 design. Hunter documentation gives LOA 8.33 m, beam 3.02 m and lightship displacement around 3,473 kg for the shoal-keel version. Deck-stepped fractional B&R rig with no conventional backstay. For replacement work, that model information is a strong starting point, but the diagonal and shroud layout should still be checked on the yacht. Wire diameters, finished lengths, mast terminals, chainplate pins, rigging-screw threads and the forestay or furling interface should all be confirmed before manufacture.
