HUNTER MARINE’S OWNER AND FOUNDER

WARREN R. LUHRS

BRIEF BACKGROUND

Warren Luhrs was born in East Orange, New Jersey in 1944 into a family with an established tradition in the maritime and transportation industries. His greatgrandfather, Henry, was a railroad and clipper-shipping pioneer in America, while his great-uncle John helped build the famous St. Petersburg to Moscow railroad for Czar Alexander II.

Henry Luhrs owned shares in twentytwo different ocean-going vessels – barks, brigs, and schooners - and was the principal owner of the bark Sophia R. Luhrs, named for his wife. He was also a partner with Albert Sprout, who managed the shipyard where the Sophia R. Luhrs was built in Melbridge, Maine.

Warren Luhrs’ father Henry worked at a small boat manufacturer in Morgan, New Jersey, and later started his own company, continuing the Luhrs’ family sea tradition during the great depression. During World War II he repaired boats and installed ice sheathing on their bows for the Coast Guard.

After the War, Henry built 27-foot fishing boats and in 1948 began to construct custom-built pleasure craft. He then turned to skiffs and in 1952 incorporated as Henry Luhrs Sea Skiffs, where he constructed lapstrake sea skiffs using assembly-line techniques. Henry personally “shook down” his prototypes on family trips up the Hudson River to Lake Champlain.

The sea skiff is a class of boat that has been very popular, owing to its seaworthiness. It features a sharp bow, which reduces pounding in surf or

choppy seas, and a hull whose forward section is rounded below the waterline to increase stability in rough water or a following sea. Such skiffs can either be smooth sided or of a lap strake construction.

Inspired by Henry Ford, Henry Luhrs’ aimed to give the average man the opportunity to enjoy the luxury of boating by building an affordable and reliable boat. He was both designer and engineer, and his progressive new models exhibited his talent for innovation. He successfully changed the line of the bow from straight to curved at a time when the industry trend was a straight square effect, and he is believed to be the first designer-builder to popularize a small boat with a fly bridge.

In 1960, Luhrs acquired the Ulrichsen Boat Company of Marlboro, New Jersey. It was here that Luhrs’ Alura fiberglass division was located. In 1965, Henry sold his company to Bangor Arrostook Railroad, which was to become the recreational conglomerate BangorPunta. It was also during this period that Silverton of Tom’s River, New Jersey was purchased by John and Warren Luhrs.

Today, Warren R. Luhrs and his brother John own the Luhrs Group of marine manufacturers, which consists of Silverton Marine, Mainship Motor Yachts, and Luhrs Fishing Boats with its Alura division, as well as Hunter Marine, which exclusively manufactures sailboats.

In January of 1996, the Luhrs family transferred a portion of the Luhrs Group to its employees through an ESOP program.

Stem: the timer at the bow, from the keel upward, to which the planking is attached. Sternway: the backward, stern-first movement of a boat. Stringer: a fore and aft member, fitted to strengthen the frames.

Tack: 1, the lower forward corner of a

sail; 2, to turn the boat through the wind so that it blows on the opposite sides of the sails. Tacking: working to windward by sailing close-hauled on alternate courses so that the wind is first on one side of the boat, then on the other.

EXPLANATION OF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This manual contains safety precautions that must be observed when operating or servicing your boat. Review and understand these instructions.

Denotes an extreme intrinsic hazard exists which would

result in high probability of death or irreparable injury if proper

precautions are not taken

Denotes a hazard exists which can result in injury or death if

proper precautions are not taken

Denotes a reminder of safety practices or directs attention to

unsafe practices which could result in personal injury or dam-

age to the craft or components

SAFE BOATING TIPS

BE PREPARED

Take a safe boating course. In the U.S., contact your local Boating Industry for details. Carry all safety equipment required by the laws that apply to your area. Requirements are generally available from the Coast Guard or your local boating industry.

As the owner of the craft, obtaining

and maintaining necessary safety

equipment is your responsibility.

For more information about equip-

ment required, contact local boat-

ing authorities.

SAFE BOATINGTIPS

MINIMUM RECOMMENDED SAFETY EQUIPMENT

• Required life saving equipment, including life vests and throwables

• Required fire extinguishing equipment

• First Aid kit

• Emergency Position Indicating Radio

Beacon (EPIRB)

• Manual bailing device

• Anchor with sufficient line and/or chain

• Flashlight with good batteries

• Binoculars

• VHF radio

• Appropriate navigational charts

• Flares

• Fog bell

LIFE JACKETS

A life jacket may save your life, but only if you wear it. Keep jackets in a readily accessible place – not in a closed compartment or stored under other gear. Remove them from any packaging, and keep throwable floatation devices ready for immediate use.

• Noise emitting device

• Radar reflector

• Sufficient food and water provisions

• Auxiliary starting battery

• Spare fuses and bulbs

• Sunglasses and block

• Blanket

The legally required on-board safety equipment may vary by region or body of water. Please check with local authorities prior to departure for a safety examination.

It is very important that children,

handicapped people, and non-

swimmers wear lifejackets at all times. Make sure all passengers are properly instructed in use of life sav-

ing gear

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

Approved fire extinguishers are required on most boats, local authorities can provide details. All passengers should know the location and operating procedure of each fire extinguisher. Fire extinguishers are normally classified according to fire type. Be familiar with the type of fire extinguishers you have on board.

Some boats have been equipped with an Automatic Fire Extinguisher)

event of a fire in your engine compartment, this unit will automatically discharge. Please read your SEA-FIRE manual for operating instructions, maintenance and precautionary information.

BACKUP RUDDER SYSTEM

Rudder failure or loss is something Boat Operators MUST be prepared for. Hunter Marine has a backup rudder system that can be purchased for our current models 38 feet and up. Other commercial suppliers offer similar systems at differing benefits and costs and you should conduct your own analysis to determine which alternative is best for you.

Because the Backup Rudder System may also be lost, Boat Operators MUST be able to sail without rudder or otherwise be prepared to assemble a makeshift rudder.

SAFE BOATINGTIPS

Most boats operating on coastal waters are required to carry approved visual distress signals, therefore check with your local authorities as to which types are required.

DRUGS AND BOATING

Consumption of alcohol while boating is not recommended. The combination of noise, sun, wind, and motion act to produce fatigue on the water, and can exaggerate the effects of alcohol.

FLARES

FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD; Pyro-

technic signaling devices can cause

injury and property damage if not

handled properly. Follow manufac-

turer’s directions regarding the

proper use of signaling devices.

IMPAIRED OPERATION HAZARD

Operating any boat while is intoxicated

or under the influence of drugs is both dangerous and illegal. Impaired vision

or judgment on the water can lead to

accidents and personal injury

BEFORE GETTING UNDERWAY

• Leave a float plan (example on p. 12)

• Perform a pre-departure checklist (example on p. 11)

• Keep a good lookout. Keep a watch to the leeward under the headsail. Keep away from swimmers, divers, and skiers.

• Know and obey local boating laws.

• Respect bad weather, and be

prepared for quickly changing conditions

• Check the weather. Do not ven-

ture out if the weather is, or will be, threatening.

WHILE UNDERWAY

COLLISION HAZARD Use extra caution in shallow water or where underwater/floating objects may be present.

Hitting an object at speed or severe angle

can seriously injure people and damage

your boat

Dear Hunter Owner,

Attached you will find a list of items and recommendations that we believe should be incorporated into your own ongoing list of preventative maintenance items and safety check points. THIS LIST SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A COMPLETE SERVICE MANUAL OR THE ONLY ITEMS ON YOUR BOAT IN NEED OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, INSPECTION OR ATTENTION.

You will find that we address commonly found optional equipment items installed on Hunter boats, as well as most standard equipment from Hunter Marine. Owner’s need to familiarize themselves with individual equipment manuals on all such items, especially aftermarket purchases or optional equipment installed by your dealer or Hunter Marine. This should insure that you are following the manufacturer’s recommendations for proper maintenance and up-keep.

We strongly recommend that all owners complete a Power Squadron course followed with a complementary boat inspection before leaving the dock. To locate a Power Squadron in your area please visit <

Reviewing and familiarizing yourself with the Chapman’s Piloting Manual is also highly recommended for every boat owner. This manual contains demonstrations for safety drills which should be practiced routinely, dealing with adverse conditions, general boat handling and recommended safety equipment. Our opinion is that no boat owner should operate a boat without first reviewing this manual and without having ready access to it while sailing.

We hope that this list will be beneficial to you in your ongoing maintenance and upkeep. Safe boating!

Thank You Hunter Marine
