Designed by David Thomas and built by Hunter Boats, Ltd. (UK), the Hunter Horizon 32 Wheelhouse is a rare fractional sloop with only 19 hulls constructed between 1987 and 1991. Its scarcity and unique wheelhouse configuration distinguish it from standard production models.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize protected cockpit comfort and easy single-handed handling over high-performance racing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 10097.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.89, the boat offers moderate offshore stability, though its limited production run and age suggest careful evaluation for serious bluewater use.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other late-1980s Hunter models with wheelhouses or enclosed cockpits, such as the Hunter 320 or 330, due to similar beam and displacement characteristics.
