About the HUNTER 22-2

Replaces, though similar to, the thermoplastic HUNTER 216. This is a complete redesign of the original Hunter 22 launched in 1981. Called the Marlow-Hunter 22 (after 2012).

Sailpages Buyer's Take

Designed by Glenn Henderson and built by Hunter Marine, the Hunter 22-2 is a compact trailerable sloop produced in 2010. With a displacement of 2000.0 lb and a beam of 7.92 ft, it offers a lightweight, performance-oriented platform for small-boat enthusiasts.

Best for:
This boat is ideal for coastal day-sailors, trailerable cruising, and single-handers seeking a manageable, high-performance package with a variable keel for shallow water access.
Bluewater capability:
With a low displacement of 2000.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.52, this boat is not designed for bluewater cruising and is best suited for protected coastal waters.
Comparables:
Comparable to other 2010-era trailerable performance sloops like the Beneteh First 21.7 or O'Day 23, as they share similar footprints, trailerability, and a focus on ease of handling over heavy offshore endurance.
