Specifications
The Hunter 216 is a trailerable sailboat measuring 6.55 meters in length, designed for day trips on inland waters and coastal areas. This specific 2005 model is equipped with a Suzuki outboard motor and features a modern sail plan including a jib, mainsail, and spinnaker. The boat is constructed with a hull made of thermoplastic material (ACP), contributing to a relatively low weight and a maintenance-friendly construction.
Dimensions and construction
The Hunter 216 has a length of 6.55 meters, a width of 2.41 meters, and a variable draft ranging from 0.31 to 1.07 meters thanks to the hydraulically operated swing keel. This keel allows for navigation in shallow waters and even beaching on tidal waters. The hull is made from ACP (Advanced Composite Process). The boat weighs approximately 680 kg, which facilitates transport and launching.
Sail Plan and rigging
The Hunter 216 is equipped with a fractional rig and has three sails: a jib, a mainsail, and a spinnaker. The total sail area is about 23 m². The foresail is equipped with a furling system, simplifying reefing and lowering. The aluminum mast and simple rigging system make the boat accessible to both novice and more experienced sailors. The traveler and inboard rudder contribute to maneuverability and control while sailing.
Motorization
The boat comes with a Suzuki DF4 outboard motor with a power of 4 HP. This motor is manually started. The engine has only 5 running hours and runs on gasoline. The outboard motor is suitable for docking and undocking and for sailing in calm conditions.
Interior and comfort
Although the Hunter 216 does not have a cabin in the traditional sense, there is a small cuddy available for storing equipment or providing shelter. The cockpit is spacious and self-draining, meaning rainwater is automatically drained. The cockpit can accommodate up to six people, making this boat suitable for day trips with family or friends.
Safety and CE category
The Hunter 216 falls under CE category C, meaning the boat is suitable for navigation on coastal waters, rivers, lakes, and other sheltered waters with wind force up to 6 Beaufort and waves up to 2 meters. The self-draining cockpit contributes to onboard safety, especially in unexpected weather conditions.
Usage and maintenance
The current owner has primarily used the boat for day trips on inland waters in Zeeland. The boat was taken out of the water for maintenance in 2024. According to the owner, the maintenance was carried out by a yacht yard. The purchase invoice is available as documentation. The boat is not registered, but the VAT has been paid.
Summary
This 2005 Hunter 216 is a compact, trailerable sailboat with a modern design and practical features for day sailing. The combination of a spacious cockpit, variable draft, and easy-to-operate rigging makes this boat suitable for a wide audience. The boat is equipped with an outboard motor with few running hours and features a complete sail plan including a spinnaker. Thanks to the ACP hull and thoughtful design, the Hunter 216 is an accessible choice for sailors looking for a user-friendly and versatile day sailor.
