The Hunter 240 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by the Hunter Design Team and first built in 1998.[1][2][3][4]

Production

The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States from 1998 to 2005, but it is now out of production.[1][2]

Design

The Hunter 240 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop B&R rig, a raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard. It displaces Шаблон:Convert and carries Шаблон:Convert of flooding water ballast. The ballast is drained for road transport.[1]

The boat has a draft of Шаблон:Convert with the centreboard extended and Шаблон:Convert with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1]

The boat is normally fitted with a small Шаблон:Convert outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. The factory optional equipment included a Шаблон:Convert, Шаблон:Convert or Шаблон:Convert outboard.[1][3][4]

Factory standard equipment included a 110% genoa, outboard motor bracket, dinette table, potable head, highway trailer, anchor and life jackets. Factory optional equipment included a Bimini top, camper tent enclosure, spinnaker, and a roller furling jib.[3]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin nd an aft cabin with a transversely-mounted double berth. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a single-burner stove and a sink. The head is located in the bow cabin on the starboard , under the "V"-berth. Cabin headroom is Шаблон:Convert.[3][4]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 255 with a high of 255 and low of 258. It has a hull speed of Шаблон:Convert.[5]

Operational history

In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "Best features: As with other Hunter trailer-sailers, the 240 has an innovative mast-raising system which makes rigging relatively fast and easy, and a custom trailer that fits the boat and eliminates some of the hassle of launching at a ramp. A movable table ... can be set up in the cockpit or the cabin. Worst features: Water ballast has never worked very well for any of the under 26-foot boats on which it has been tried, and the Hunter is no exception."[4]
