The Hunter 140 is an American dinghy that was designed by the Hunter Design Team as a sailing trainer and first built in 2003.[1][2][3]

Production

The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States starting in 2003, but it is now out of production.[1][3][4]

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 (102 kg) and can accommodate three occupants.[1][2][3]

The boat has a draft of 3.00 ft (0.91 m) with the centreboard extended and 0.50 ft (0.15 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1][2][3]

Factory options included a roller furling jib, a launching dolly, a road trailer, a motor mount and a 2.5 hp (2 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][2][3]
