About the HUNTER 19-2
Disp. for sailing: 2000 lbs./907 kgs. Weight for trailering/launching: 1500 lbs./680 kgs.
The Hunter 19-2 is a compact fractional sloop designed by the Hunter Design Team and built by Hunter Marine (USA) between 1993 and 1996. With a displacement of 2000.0 lb and a beam of 7.75 ft, this vessel represents a lightweight, trailerable option for entry-level sailors.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal day sailing, trailerable cruising, and novice sailors seeking a manageable, low-maintenance package. Its fractional sloop rig and 16.87 SA/D ratio suggest it is responsive and easy to handle for single-handers or couples.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 2000.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 2.46, and a comfort ratio of 11.99, the Hunter 19-2 is not designed for offshore bluewater passage making and is strictly limited to protected coastal waters.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include the Catalina 19.2 and O'Day 22, which share similar trailerable dimensions and fractional sloop rigs. These models offer similar beam-to-length ratios and are targeted at the same entry-level coastal cruising market.
