Hunter 25-2
Description
The Hunter 25-2, also known as the Hunter 25 Mark III or simply the 2005 Hunter 25, is a modern trailerable pocket cruiser designed by Glenn Henderson and the Hunter Design Team, produced by Hunter Marine from 2005 to 2012 with approximately 200-300 hulls built. Introduced as a replacement for the water-ballasted Hunter 240 and 260, it reverts to a traditional fixed-keel design with a fractional sloop rig, emphasizing ease of trailering, spacious accommodations, and family-friendly sailing in a lightweight 25-foot package. Featuring a walk-through transom, self-tacking jib, and B&R-inspired swept spreaders (no backstay for clean tacking), it's optimized for shorthanded coastal cruising, gunkholing, or club racing—sleeping 4-5 in a bright interior with 6'4" headroom. The shoal-draft keel (2'11") allows beaching, while the fixed ballast provides better upwind performance than its water-ballast predecessors. Constructed with solid fiberglass below the waterline (Kevlar reinforcement forward) and balsa-cored deck, it's lauded for its value, stability, and simplicity but critiqued for modest speed in light air (PHRF ~225).
