Production

The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States between 1999 and 2002, but it is now out of production.[1][2]

Design

The Hunter 290 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop B&R rig, a raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel with a weighted bulb or optional wing keel. It displaces 7,400 lb (3,357 kg) and carries 2,550 lb (1,157 kg) of lead ballast.[1]

The boat has a draft of 5.33 ft (1.62 m) with the standard keel and 3.50 ft (1.07 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1]

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 18 hp (13 kW). The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 40 U.S. gallons (150 L; 33 imp gal).[1]

Factory supplied standard equipment included a 110% roller furling jib, two self-tailing jib winches, arch-mounted mainsheet, rack and pinion steering, private forward cabin, aft stateroom, convertible dinette table, 74 in (188 cm) or stand-up cabin headroom, stainless steel sink, two burner stove, top-loading ice box, four plates, bowls and mugs, with built-in storage, Danforth anchor, fog horn, four life jackets. Optional equipment included a hot and cold transom shower, two-burner gimbaled LPG stove, spinnaker and associated rigging and winches, in-mast mainsail furling system, GPS and a bimini top.[3]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 186 with a high of 190 and low of 186. It has a hull speed of 6.95 kn (12.87 km/h).[4]

gollark: Most people can't influence politics much, so they fairly rationally mostly ignore it and do whatever makes people around them not shun them and whatever sounds nicest.
gollark: In politics this might manifest as "taxation is theft (because I don't particularly want to give the government money but they take it anyway)", or "work is slavery (because you are heavily incentivized to do some amount of work or you struggle to afford things)".
gollark: The issue is that a "book" isn't a strict formal thing but a pointer to a rough fuzzy set of things which we call "books" for convenience.
