The bilge keel Hunter Legend 326 is one of the most successful models produced by this yard, and for good reason. The volume of accommodation, both above and below deck, within her compact dimensions is remarkable. The cockpit provides a spacious and sociable area for relaxing with family and friends, with the ever-popular pushpit seats offering an additional seating bonus.
Below deck, the interior benefits from excellent headroom and an abundance of natural light, creating a bright and welcoming saloon. The aft cabin is particularly noteworthy for its generous size, making the Legend 326 an exceptionally practical and comfortable cruising yacht.
This much-loved example of the Hunter Legend 326 has benefitted from numerous upgrades and updates. Her standing rigging was replaced in 2024, and the comprehensive specification includes heating, feathering propeller, autopilot, hot and cold water, TV, and much more.

Ensign & Staff
I purchased Upton Girl in 2013, seeking a well-appointed bilge keel cruising yacht with comfortable and practical accommodation. She has proven ideal for relaxed coastal sailing, and I have greatly enjoyed cruising locally between Portland and Chichester.
Upton Girl has also been a wonderful platform for introducing others to sailing. On numerous occasions, I have taken out members of a Sailability charity, where her generous cockpit space has been particularly appreciated by guests, offering both comfort and ease of movement.
She has been carefully maintained throughout my ownership, being lifted ashore annually for the winter months. The engine has been professionally serviced each year, and equipment has been updated as required, including the addition of a brand-new sprayhood.
I am very sorry to be selling Upton Girl, but health reasons have dictated that I must. She has been a rewarding and versatile yacht to own, and I hope her next owner will enjoy her just as much.
