The Hunter 280 is a 27.75ft b&r designed by Hunter Design Team/R. Mazza and built in fiberglass by Hunter Marine (USA) between 1995 and 1999.
The Hunter 280 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a good performer. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a short water supply range.
