The Hunter 22 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or centerboard.[1]
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1]
Standard factory equipment included a stove and cooler, a teak and holly wooden cabin sole, a dinette table and potable head, a 12 U.S. gallons (45 L; 10.0 imp gal) fresh water tank, outboard motor bracket, life jackets and an anchor.[4]
