Design

The Hunter 20 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller, a "pop-up" companionway hatch and a retractable centerboard. It displaces 1,700 lb (771 kg) and carries 400 lb (181 kg) of ballast.[1][4]

The boat has a draft of 4.00 ft (1.22 m) with the centreboard extended and 1.25 ft (0.38 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1]

Standard equipment includes a stove and cooler, toilet, life jackets and an anchor.[4]

The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 282 with a high of 274 and low of 288. It has a hull speed of 5.28 kn (9.78 km/h).[5]

gollark: I was *surprised* by how many people somehow *did not get it*.
gollark: The uninstall thing is meant to be mildly complex and prevent programs from automatically uninstalling it by queueing key events.
gollark: Instead of just... [search engine]ing it.
gollark: But people often go "O NO HOW DO I DELET" and "HELP THIS IS DIFFICULT MATHS PROBLEM WHAT DO I DO".
gollark: You literally run `uninstall` and factor a semiprime, which is a simple operation you can do with one Linux command or a bunch of web things.
