The Hunter Horizon 27 is a popular family cruising yacht offering modern, spacious feeling accommodation along with Hunter's well-regarded superior performance. "Kephi" is a factory completed Horizon 27 with the sought after twin bilge keels, offering shallow draft and the ability to take the ground. She has a Yanmar 1GM inboard diesel and was epoxied in 2000 as a preventative measure. "Kephi" has been well maintained and is a good example of her class, with a 2023 survey available to interested parties.
