Hunter 140

The Hunter 140 is an American dinghy that was designed by the Hunter Design Team as a sailing trainer and first built in 2003.

Production
The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States starting in 2003, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Hunter 140 is an unsinkable sailing dinghy, built of ACP, thermoformed and UV protected plastic, with a fiberglass mat and injected foam construction, making it unsinkable. It has a fractional sloop rig, an aluminum mast and boom with stainless steel standing rigging, a raked stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard. It displaces 225 lb and can accommodate three occupants.

The boat has a draft of 3.00 ft with the centreboard extended and 0.50 ft with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.

Factory options included a roller furling jib, a launching dolly, a road trailer, a motor mount and a 2.5 hp outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.
