Hunter 22-2 →

The Hunter 216 design, with its thermo plastic hull, was developed into the Hunter 22-2 in 2010. The 22-2 is a similar boat, but built in more conventional fiberglass.[1]

Production

The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States starting in 2003, but it is now out of production. A total of 250 were built.[1][2]

Design

The Hunter 216 is a small unsinkable recreational keelboat, built predominantly of thermo plastic. It has a fractional sloop rig, a plumb stem, an open reverse transom, a lifting internally-mounted VARA rudder controlled by a tiller and a hydraulically operated lifting fin keel. It displaces 1,351 lb (613 kg) and carries 500 lb (227 kg) of lead ballast.[1]

The boat has a draft of 3.51 ft (1.07 m) with the lifting keel extended and 1.02 ft (0.31 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1]

Factory options included a 200 sq ft (19 m2) asymmetrical spinnaker, portable toilet, motor mount and a highway trailer.[4]

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

The design has a hull speed of 5.81 kn (10.76 km/h).[5]

gollark: If there was and it wasn't awful somehow they would ship it with that enabled, surely.
gollark: Just put "by gollark" in the corner I suppose.
gollark: I still haven't found an image editor which runs on Linux and isn't bad somehow, so I can't really.
gollark: Sure.
gollark: Someone probably figured that the USB 3 components wouldn't cost too much more but would make people more likely to buy it.
