The Hunter 146 is an American sailing dinghy that was designed by Chuck Burns and the Hunter Design Team as a novice sailboat and first built in 2003.[1][2][3][4][5]
The design was renamed the Hunter 15 in 2008 and is now referred to as the Marlow-Hunter 15.[1][4][5][6]
Production
The design has been built by Hunter Marine in the United States, starting in 2003 and remains in production under the designation Marlow-Hunter 15.[1][4][5][7]
Design
The Hunter 146 is a small recreational dinghy, built predominantly of ACP. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, an open reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard. It displaces 340 lb (154 kg) and can accommodate up to four people.[1][4][5]
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][5]
