The Hunter 170 is a small, unsinkable, recreational dinghy, built predominantly of ACP. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, an open reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard. [1] [3] [4]

The boat displaces 478 lb (217 kg), has 1,500 lb (680 kg) of built-in positive flotation and can accommodate up to six people. [1] [3] [4]

The boat has a draft of 4.49 ft (1.37 m) with the centreboard extended and 0.49 ft (0.15 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. [1] [4]

The boat may be fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering and a 2.5 hp (2 kW) motor was a factory option. Other factory options included a 202 sq ft (18.8 m2) asymmetrical spinnaker, a road trailer and a launching dolly. [3]

The design has a hull speed of 4.66 kn (8.63 km/h). [2] [4]
