Carpe Vinum is a 1997 37′ Hunter 376 fractional sloop, built on the proven Hunter platform with the signature B&R rig. The design earned Cruising World Magazine’s 1997 Best Value Cruiser award for its combination of performance, accommodations and systems—qualities that are evident in this example. The B&R spreaderless rig and fractional sailplan provide a balanced helm and a responsive feel under sail.
Under power Carpe Vinum is driven by a reliable Yanmar 36 HP auxiliary engine, well sized for maneuvering and passagemaking. Sail handling is straightforward with a roller furling headsail and a mainsail stack pack for easy reefing and dousing, allowing for efficient single- or short-handed sailing.
The boat has been fitted with updated Garmin electronics, bringing modern navigation and instrumentation to the cockpit and helm for improved situational awareness and route planning. These systems complement the vessel’s practical deck layout, which emphasizes safe lines of sight, accessible control lines and a comfortable cockpit for extended days on the water.
The Hunter 376 is known for a roomy interior and sensible cruising accommodations, and Carpe Vinum reflects that pedigree—offering a welcoming liveaboard feel, ample storage and ergonomic galley and systems placement that make weekends or longer cruises more enjoyable.
