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]
Design
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 1,351 lb (613 kg) and carries 500 lb (227 kg) of lead ballast.[1][4]
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][4]
Factory options included a 200 sq ft (19 m2) 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 5.81 kn (10.76 km/h).[4][6]
