The Hunter 25 is an American trailerable sailboat, designed by John Cherubini and Bob Seidelmann and first built in 1972.
It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel.
[1][10] The boat is normally fitted with a small 4 to 8 hp (3 to 6 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.
It was a success, and in 1977 was followed by the Hunter 25 Mark II, which retained the hull and layout below but sported a new and boxy deck with six inches more headroom.
There were several pet names for the Mk I, with her low-domed cabintop and coaming going around the edge of the spray hood, including 'bubble top' and 'spitfire canopy.'
