HUNTER HC 50

About the HUNTER HC 50

(shallow draft model) 1.83 m / 6'. Water Ballast (per side) 1,226 kg /2703 lbs.

The Hunter HC 50 is a large cruising yacht designed by Hunter Design and built by Hunter Marine (USA), with production records indicating a build year of 2000. While the exact hull count is unspecified in available data, this model represents a significant entry in the 50-foot coastal cruiser segment, characterized by its B&R rig and fin keel configuration.

Best for:

This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and families seeking a spacious, comfortable interior with modern amenities, rather than serious offshore passagemaking, given its relatively light displacement and beamy hull form.

Bluewater capability:

With a displacement of 20000.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.21, the HC 50 is generally considered suitable for protected coastal waters and short offshore passages, but its light displacement and high SA/D ratio of 27.77 suggest it is not optimized for heavy-weather bluewater cruising.

Comparables:

Comparable vessels include the Hunter 46 and 48 from the same era, which share similar design philosophies and interior layouts, as well as the Beneteau 50 and Lagoon 42 for those prioritizing similar beam and cabin volume, though the HC 50 offers a distinct monohull cruising experience.
