Production

The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States between 1996 and 2002, but it is now out of production.[1][2]

Design

The Hunter 212 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of ACP. It has a fractional sloop B&R rig, a slightly raked stem, an open reverse transom, a transom-hung swing-up rudder controlled by a tiller and a centerboard keel. It displaces 1,800 lb (816 kg) and carries 140 lb (64 kg) of fixed ballast.[1][4]

The boat has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the centreboard extended and 0.83 ft (0.25 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1]

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

Standard factory equipment included a portable head, cooler and a highway trailer. Optional equipment included an asymmetrical spinnaker, roller furler, front hatch and a bimini top and dodger, as well netting for the open transom.[4]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 216. It has a hull speed of 5.69 kn (10.54 km/h).[5]

gollark: There are probably a decent amount of not-entirely-spaghetti OO programs.
gollark: I mean, either one can lead to horrible spaghetti.
gollark: It's not really "needs" as much as "is better done in".
gollark: Well, there *is* OS.js, but that's JS and really more of a desktop environment and filesystem abstraction.
gollark: Lots of things.
