Description

The Hunter 216 is a trailerable sailboat measuring 6.55 meters long, 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 thermoplastic material (ACP) hull, contributing to its relatively low weight and maintenance-friendly design. Dimensions and Construction The Hunter 216 has a length of 6.55 meters, a beam of 2.41 meters, and a variable draft of 0.31 to 1.07 meters thanks to the hydraulically operated swing keel. This keel allows for sailing in shallow waters and even beaching on tidal waters. The hull is made of ACP (Advanced Composite Process). The boat weighs approximately 680 kg, facilitating transport and launching. Sail Plan and Rigging The Hunter 216 features a fractional rig and comes with three sails: a jib, a mainsail, and a spinnaker. The total sail area is around 23 m². The headsail 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 experienced sailors. The traveler and inboard rudder contribute to maneuverability and control while sailing. Motorization The boat comes with a 4 hp Suzuki DF4 outboard motor. This motor is manually started, has only 5 running hours, and runs on gasoline. The outboard motor is suitable for docking, maneuvering, and sailing in calm wind conditions. Interior and Comfort Although the Hunter 216 does not have a traditional cabin, it does feature a small cuddy for storing equipment or providing shelter. The cockpit is spacious and self-bailing, ensuring rainwater is automatically drained. The cockpit accommodates up to six people, making it suitable for day trips with family or friends. Safety and CE Category The Hunter 216 is classified under CE Category C, indicating its suitability for sailing in coastal waters, rivers, lakes, and other sheltered waters with wind forces up to 6 Beaufort and waves up to 2 meters. The self-bailing cockpit enhances onboard safety, especially in unexpected weather conditions. Use and Maintenance The current owner mainly used the boat for day trips on inland waters in Zeeland. The boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2024, reportedly carried out by a shipyard. The purchase invoice is available as documentation. The boat is not registered, but 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 spacious cockpit, variable draft, and easy-to-operate rigging make this boat suitable for a wide audience. It comes with a low-hours outboard motor and a complete sail plan including a spinnaker. With its ACP hull and thoughtful design, the Hunter 216 is an accessible choice for sailors seeking a user-friendly and versatile day cruiser.
