Marlow-Hunter 22

The Marlow-Hunter 22 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Glenn Henderson as daysailer and racer, first built in 2010. It is a development of the 2003 Hunter 216, but with the hull built of fiberglass, instead of thermo-plastic

The design was originally marketed by the manufacturer in 2010 as the Hunter 22, but was usually referred to as the Hunter 22-2 to differentiate it from the unrelated 1981 Hunter 22 design. When Marlow bought the company in 2012 it was officially renamed the Marlow-Hunter 22.

Production
The design is built by Hunter Marine in the United States. Production started in 2010 and the design remained in production through 2018.

Design
The Marlow-Hunter 22 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop B&R rig with no backstay, a plumb stem, a rounded, open reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a metal tiller and a lifting keel. It displaces 1700 lb and carries 500 lb of lead ballast.

The design emphasizes cockpit space at the expense of lower deck accommodation. It does have a V-berth in the bow and room for a portable head. In 2018 the manufacturer's base price was US$29,990.

The boat has a draft of 3.50 ft with the keel extended and 1.00 ft with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.

The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor of up to 10 hp for docking and maneuvering.

The design has a hull speed of 5.8 kn.
