A pocket family cruising boat, the Hunter 27 is uncomplicated, simple to sail with in mast furling main and furling jib, and very roomy for its size.  It has numerous nice design elements which make it a practical, pleasant boat on deck and down below and has easy access to engine, shaft, seacocks etc. This tidy little sailboat has had two owners only, from the same family and has been  hauled every two years. The name, Brightwindbridled, is part of a quote from James Joyce Ulysses where the waves and whitecaps out to sea are being compared to white horses.

Accommodation in the main cabin consists of a nice galley to starboard, a nav station to port, two generous settee berths on either side of the table, and a v-berth immediately attached to and forward of this area.  The V-berth has two fold out cushions to make the berth longer by extending into the saloon area.  The starboard aft cabin has  double berth that runs crosswise across the boat, a hanging locker, and a port that opens inside the cockpit locker so can be opened during rain to allow extra ventilation into the cabin.  On the port aft side is the head/shower compartment with sink and storage. Wheel steering and easy access to stern boarding area.
