Additional updates include new running rigging, a new sail cover, and a Raytheon autopilot, supporting easy sail handling and relaxed passage-making. Comfort upgrades include a new 11-gallon hot water heater, new water pressure pump, and new interior cushions, giving the cabin a clean, refreshed feel.
Electronics have been modernized with a Garmin 94 GPS chartplotter with sonar and a new ICOM VHF radio with AIS, providing dependable navigation and enhanced situational awareness. Auxiliary power is provided by a Yanmar 2GMF 20 HP freshwater-cooled diesel engine, a proven and respected engine known for reliability and efficiency. The bottom is cleaned monthly, reflecting consistent and attentive maintenance.
Below deck, Amazing Grace offers a comfortable and practical layout with a forward V-berth, a bright salon, and an aft cabin arrangement well suited for couples or small families. Generous headroom and smart use of space make her comfortable for overnight stays or extended coastal cruising.
Amazing Grace represents an excellent opportunity to own a well-equipped Hunter 29.5 that blends modern upgrades with a proven cruising design. She is an ideal platform for sailors seeking a capable, comfortable, and confidence-inspiring sailboat.
