The Hunter HC 50 is an American sailboat that was designed by the Hunter Design Team as a "long distance express cruiser" and first built in 2000.[1][2][3]
The HC 50 is a development of the one-off racers Hunter's Child and Route 66, with a design goal of producing a fast cruising sailboat. The HC designation is an acknowledgment of its design ancestry.[1][3]
The design designation can be confused with the Hunter 50 CC of 2009 and the Hunter 50 AC of 2010.[1][2]
Production
The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States starting in 2000, but it is now out of production.[1][2][4]
