Mary Jane is possibly the nicest completely original Hunter Cherubini 27 you'll ever find. Just about everything has been been gone through, refurbished and impeccably maintained. Previously owned by a Naval engineer, we purchased her in 2013. She'd been sitting on hard in Connecticut for 6 years. We had her trailered to our boat yard in Northport, Long Island and went to work on her. In the Summer of 2014 we took her out for a 2 week "shake down" cruise crossing the Long Island Sound 4 times, to Shelter Island through the Plum Gut (a notorious passage between Plum Island and Orient Point, the northeastern most point of Long Island). She performed beautifully. Cherubini Hunters are prized among serious collectors for their classic lines, speed and agile performance. Noted for Danish Modern style interior cabins the Cherubinis are astutely laid out and extremely comfortable for extended cruising. Mary Jane's original owner installed a custom made teak "traveler" for precise control of the mainsail in any weather condition (a real bonus). This Hunter 27 boasts the original Renault Marine Couach, 8 hp, one cylinder diesel engine, known for its dependability and unique rhythmic sound. I often liken the sound to that of the African Queen. The top deck is painted with Interlux Brightside Seattle Grey epoxy (2014). All the teak hand and rub rails have recently been sanded and varnished with 6 coats of Marine Spar Varnish (2015). Last year the bottom was sanded and painted with 4 coats of Pettit brand Hydrocoat black hull paint (2014). This year we painted another 2 coats of bottom paint, just for good measure (2015). This year we also replaced the Datamarine depth and knot meters with brand new Moor depth and knot meters (2015). A new Ritchie Helm Compass was installed last summer (2014) and all new Black Sunbrella Mainsail, Compass, Steering Wheel and Winch Covers were installed just this month (2015). The following is a list of some of the items we've replaced and installed: Engine - new water pump (2014), new water pump seacock hose (2014), new starter motor (2014), new custom-made fuel lines (2015), new Racor fuel/water seperator (2015), new and extra Mann fuel filters (2015).

Mary Jane comes with lots of extras, too numerous to mention, including dock lines, fenders, life jackets, deck cushions, Windscoop, etc. She's a joy to own and a pleasure to sail. All lines lead to the cockpit for easy single handling. Mary Jane is currently moored in Centerport Bay. The mooring and launch service is fully paid through the season, so if you're ready to go, she's ready for you. Whether you're just learning to sail or downsizing, you'll fall in love with Mary Jane. .
