About the HUNTER 19-1
The Hunter 19-1 is a compact fractional sloop designed by Hunter Design and built by Hunter Marine (USA) between 1981 and 1983. With a displacement of 1250.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 8.6, this vessel represents a lightweight, performance-oriented entry into the trailerable sailing market.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal day-sailing and trailerable cruising, appealing to single-handers or couples seeking a manageable, low-maintenance package for protected waters.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 1250.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.72, the Hunter 19-1 is not designed for offshore bluewater cruising and is strictly limited to coastal and protected water use.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Catalina 19 and O'Day 19, which share similar trailerable dimensions and fractional sloop rigs, though the Hunter 19-1 distinguishes itself with a lighter displacement and higher sail area-to-displacement ratio.
