Production

The design has been built by Hunter Marine in the United States, starting in 2003 and remains in production under the designation Marlow-Hunter 15.[1][2][5]

Design

The Hunter 146 is a small recreational dinghy, built predominantly of ACP. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, an open reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard. It displaces 340 lb (154 kg) and can accommodate up to four people.[1][5]

The boat has a draft of 3.00 ft (0.91 m) with the centreboard extended and 0.50 ft (0.15 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1]

gollark: You probably should anyway. The 4 is power-hungry.
gollark: And there's just something cool about a no-moving-parts computer.
gollark: Because fans draw more power, make noise (though often not much), get dusty (OH POTATOS THE DUST), and break.
gollark: I prefer adequate cooling with no fans over somewhat better cooling *with* fans generally.
gollark: Though I guess some chargers do provide 5V3A.
