About the HUNTER 25-2

The Hunter 25-2 is a compact, performance-oriented trailer sailer designed by Glenn Henderson and built by Hunter Marine (USA) between 2005 and 2009. With a displacement of 3700.0 lb and a beam of 8.46 ft, this model represents the later generation of Hunter's 25-foot line, emphasizing ease of handling and trailerability.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideally suited for coastal cruising, weekend getaways, and trailerable sailing, appealing to single-handers or couples who prioritize easy transport and straightforward dockside handling over heavy offshore endurance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 3700.0 lb, a comfort ratio of 14.58, and a fin keel with a max draft of 2.0 ft, the Hunter 25-2 is designed for coastal and protected waters rather than extended bluewater passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Hunter 25-1 and the Beneteh First 23.5, as they share similar trailerable dimensions, fractional or B&R rig configurations, and a focus on light displacement performance for coastal use.
