Yachtsnet's
archive of boat details and pictures
|
| |
The following information and photographs are
displayed as a service to anyone researching yacht types. Details
and photographs are normally based on one specific yacht, but could
be a compilation. No reliance should be placed on other yachts of
the same class being identical. Where common variations exist,
we have endeavoured to indicate this in these archive details.
The price guide covers the normal ranges of age and condition. Exceptional
boats, whether good or bad, may fall outside these guidelines. |

Between 1988 and 1995,
about 200 Hunter Horizon 27s were built, with minor differences
and name changes, from Hunter 27 to 272 and 273. The boat illustrated
is a Horizon 273 twin keel, built by Hunters in 1992 as a 'sailaway
kit', and completed and launched by the first owners. Hunter 'sailaway
kits' had all structural work completed by the factory - as the
name implies the boats supplied in this fashion were ready to sail.
Owner completion was restricted to fitting internal trim and fittings,
and we generally find very little difference between 'factory finished'
and 'home finished' British Hunters |
