The Hunter 170 is an American sailing dinghy that was designed the Hunter Design Team and first built in 1999.[1] [2] [3] [4]
The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States, starting in 1999 but is now out of production.[1] [3] [4] [5]
The design was replaced in production by the slightly larger Marlow-Hunter 18, which was introduced in 2011.[6]
The Hunter 170 is a small, unsinkable, 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.[1] [3] [4]
The boat displaces 4780NaN0, has 15000NaN0 of built-in positive flotation and can accommodate up to six people.[1] [3] [4]
The boat has a draft of 4.49feet with the centreboard extended and 0.49feet with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1] [4]
The boat may be fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering and a 2.50NaN0 motor was a factory option. Other factory options included a 202square feet asymmetrical spinnaker, a road trailer and a launching dolly.[3]
The design has a hull speed of 4.662NaN2.[2] [4]
