Hunter 270

[1][2][3] The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States, but it is now out of production.

It has a fractional sloop rig with a full-batten mainsail, a nearly plumb stem, a walk-through reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed wing keel.

[1][3] The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering but had an original factory option of a Japanese Yanmar inboard diesel engine of 9 hp (7 kW).

[1][3] Standard equipment supplied included masthead anchor lights, an enclosed head, teak and holly cabin sole, a butane stove, kitchen dishes, portable cooler, anchor, stainless steel boarding ladder and life jackets.

Factory optional equipment included a Bimini top, road trailer, roller furler, spinnaker and a marine VHF radio.
