The Hunter 216 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Glenn Henderson as a daysailer and cruiser, and first built in 2003.[1] [2] [3] [4]
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] [4]
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] [4] [5]
The Hunter 216 is an 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 13510NaN0 and carries 5000NaN0 of lead ballast.[1] [4]
The boat has a draft of 3.51feet with the lifting keel extended and 1.02feet with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1] [4]
Factory options included a 200square feet asymmetrical spinnaker, portable toilet, motor mount and a highway trailer.[3]
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1] [4]
The design has a hull speed of 5.812NaN2.[4] [6]
