The Hunter 27-2 is an American sailboat that was designed by the Hunter Design Team as a family cruiser and first built in 1989.[1] [2] [3]
The design was originally marketed by the manufacturer as the Hunter 27, but is now usually referred to as the Hunter 27-2 to differentiate it from the unrelated 1974 Hunter 27 and later designs with the same name.[1] [2] [3]
The Hunter 27-2 was built by Hunter Marine in the United States between 1989 and 1994, but it is now out of production.[1] [3] [4]
The Hunter 27-2 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig with swept-back spreaders, a raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom with a swimming platform, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel, with an emergency tiller and a fixed wing keel. It displaces 50000NaN0 and carries 20000NaN0 of ballast. The boat has a draft of 3.5feet with the standard wing keel fitted.[1] [2] [3]
The boat is normally fitted with a small 80NaN0 outboard motor for docking and maneuvering, although a Japanese Yanmar 1GM-10 90NaN0 diesel engine was a factory option.[1] [3]
The boat was delivered with many features as standard equipment, including a 110% genoa, stainless steel swim ladder, teak and holly interior, dinette table, enclosed head with a shower and sink with hot and cold water, two-burner stove, sleeping accommodation for six people, two life jackets, automatic bilge pump and a fog bell.[2]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 192 with a high of 186 and low of 201. It has a hull speed of 6.342NaN2.[3] [5]
