The Hunter Passage 450 is an American sailboat that was designed by the Hunter Design Team as a cruiser and first built in 1996.[1][2][3]

Production

The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States, but it is now out of production.[1][2][3]

Design

The Hunter Passage 450 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of hand-laid polyester and vinylester resin fiberglass, with a deck made from a fiberglass and marine plywood sandwich and Baltek end-grain balsa core hull above the waterline. It has a masthead sloop B&R rig, a raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom with a swimming platform and folding ladder, an oval-shaped center cockpit, a fiberglass mainsheet arch, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel. It displaces Шаблон:Convert and carries Шаблон:Convert of lead ballast.[1][3][4]

The boat has a draft of Шаблон:Convert with the standard wing keel with a weighted bulb. It is fitted with a Swedish Volvo or Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of Шаблон:Convert. The fuel tank holds Шаблон:Convert and the fresh water tank has a capacity of Шаблон:Convert.[1][3]

Standard equipment includes dual staterooms, with private heads and a transom hot and cold water shower. Air conditioning, a clothing washer and drier, a bathtub, and in-mast furling mainsail were factory options. The below decks headroom is Шаблон:Convert. The design has Community of Europe certification for "unlimited offshore use".[1][3][4]

The design has a hull speed of Шаблон:Convert.[3]

Operational history

Reviewer Quentin Warren, writing for Cruising World in 2002 praised the design's accommodations. He wrote: "This boat is comfortable to be aboard, light and airy, easy to handle from the cockpit, big on tankage, chockablock with amenities and perks - it’s no surprise that people are queued well down boat-show docks for the obligatory look-see. It isn’t traditional or classic or reserved; rather it’s a showcase of modern thinking with liveaboard focus."[4]
