The Hunter 170 is an American sailing dinghy that was designed the Hunter Design Team and first built in 1999.[1][2][3][4]

Production

The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States, starting in 1999 but is now out of production.[1][2][4]

The design was replaced in production by the slightly larger Marlow-Hunter 18, which was introduced in 2011.[5]

Design

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. It displaces 478 lb (217 kg), has 1,500 lb (680 kg) of built-in positive flotation and can accommodate up to six people.[1][4]

The boat has a draft of 4.49 ft (1.37 m) with the centreboard extended and 0.49 ft (0.15 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1]

The boat may be fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering and a 2.5 hp (2 kW) motor was a factory option. Other factory options included a 202 sq ft (18.8 m2) asymmetrical spinnaker, a road trailer and a launching dolly.[4]

[4]

The design has a hull speed of 5.08 kn (9.41 km/h).[3]
