Perspective
The Hunter 270 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig with a full-batten mainsail, a nearly plumb stem, a walk-through reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed wing keel. It displaces 5,000 lb (2,268 kg).[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 3.50 ft (1.07 m) with the standard wing keel fitted.[1][3]
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering but had an original factory option of a Japanese Yanmar inboard diesel engine of 9 hp (7 kW). The fuel tank holds 15 U.S. gallons (57 L; 12 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal).[1][3]
Standard equipment supplied included masthead anchor lights, an enclosed head, teak and holly cabin sole, a butane stove, kitchen dishes, portable cooler, anchor, stainless steel boarding ladder and life jackets. Factory optional equipment included a Bimini top, road trailer, roller furler, spinnaker and a marine VHF radio.[2]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 222 with a high of 234 and low of 215. It has a hull speed of 6.46 kn (11.96 km/h).[3][5]
