Cherubini info
In 1972, John Cherubini and Bob Seidelmann were commissioned by Waren and John Luhrs (the Luhrs brothers who formed Hunter Marine) to design a production sailboat for them. Thus, in 1972, the h25 was designed during the spring/summer of that year with its first production being in 1973. This was quickly followed by the h30 and then in early 1974 by the h27. John Cherubini was the designer, Bob Seidelmann kept him up to date on racing rules and user demands, and John Jr. doing much of the interior layout/design at the age of 15. The original 25 design called for a sloped cabin overhead blending into the deck which was replaced by the pop-top version inspired by other similar boats of the day by 1977. For a while, both versions were built alongside each other. The Cherubini Hunters were built up until about 1983. Cherubini boats were designed as real "yachts". Though somewhat tender on the stiff breeze, they are inherently safe and can, as many owners say, "be taken to hell and back". They are solidly built, roomy for their era, inherently responsive, and comfortable sailing boats.
