Hunter 19 MK II

The Hunter 19-2 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed as a day sailer and small cruising sailboat by the Hunter Design Team and first built in 1993. The design was originally marketed by the manufacturer as the Hunter 19, but is now usually referred to as the Hunter 19-2 to differentiate it from the unrelated 1981 Hunter 19-1 design, which was also sold as the Hunter 19.

The Hunter 19-2 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with positive flotation. It has a fractional sloop rig, a slightly raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom, a transom-hung kick-up rudder controlled by a tiller, a retractable centerboard and a flooding water ballast tank, which is drained for road transport. It displaces 2,000 lb (907 kg) when the 500 lb (227 kg)-capacity water ballast tank is full and 1,500 lb (680 kg) with it empty. The boat has a draft of 4.67 ft (1.42 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.17 ft (0.36 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.

The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. The design features a self-bailing cockpit, built-in outboard engine mount, a portable toilet, portable stove and a cooler. The fresh water tank has a capacity of 2.3 U.S. gallons (8.7 L; 1.9 imp gal). A highway trailer was supplied as standard equipment.

The design has sleeping accommodation for two people, with a double berth in an aft cabin. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a stove and a sink. The head is located in the forepeak. Cabin headroom is 52 in (132 cm).

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 282 and a hull speed of 5.35 kn (9.91 km/h).
