The Hunter 170's fantastic open transom design allows for super easy land or water access! In addition, the canvas cuddy unsnaps for easy bow access. The extraordinary seven foot beam keeps you stable, with seating for six in the clean and clutter-free cockpit. Beginners can handle the simple rig like a pro with its large main and small jib,
yet the rig also challenges the seasoned sailor. The kick-up centerboard
and swing-up rudder makes landing or beaching a breeze.
