Hunter is introducing the "e36", which it is offering either in a standard cruising model or what seems to be a club racer with high-performance sail plan, foreboom for asym, and more weight down low in a deep keel. The hull appears to be the recent h36, with a deck makeover. Details are sketchy, as not all web pages are functioning, but there are photos and a bit of description. I didn't see pricing.

It looks very similar to the Beneteau 36.5 and will make a great competition for it. I think this is one of the best looking Hunters to come along. Beautiful.
Mast height is same as H356
2003 H356 has 55' 3" mast height - makes mine 58.75' to top of antenna. ICW height of 55 too low for H36 and H356, so this no different.

Gentlemen, your are correct, with virtually the same proven hull sense 2001, Hunter has listened to the feedback to make improvements in the living space as well as the deck. With options of seating at the dinette to larger aft cabin as well as larger cockpit. Standard Cruising model with inmast furler or Performance Package with 12% larger, square top, full battened Kevlar Mainsail and Kevlar Head Sail..
