Design
The Hunter 212 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of ACP. It has a fractional sloop B&R rig, a slightly raked stem, an open reverse transom, a transom-hung swing-up rudder controlled by a tiller and a centerboard keel. It displaces 1,800 lb (816 kg) and carries 140 lb (64 kg) of fixed ballast.[1][4]
The boat has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the centreboard extended and 0.83 ft (0.25 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1]
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1]
Standard factory equipment included a portable head, cooler and a highway trailer. Optional equipment included an asymmetrical spinnaker, roller furler, front hatch and a bimini top and dodger, as well netting for the open transom.[4]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 216. It has a hull speed of 5.69 kn (10.54 km/h).[5]
