Production

The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States, but it is now out of production. [1] [2] [4] [5]

Design

The Hunter Xcite is an unsinkable recreational sailboat, built from a sandwich panel of thermoformed UV-protected plastic, with fiberglass mat and injected foam. It has a free-standing catboat rig, a raked stem, an open self-draining reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and tiller extension and a folding centerboard. It displaces 95 lb (43 kg) and can be transported on an automobile roof rack. [1] [5]

The boat has a draft of 3.19 ft (0.97 m) with the centerboard extended and 0.49 ft (0.15 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. The boat has no provisions for an outboard motor. [1] [5]

Factory standard equipment included a two piece anodized aluminum mast and boom. A "training sail" of 34 sq ft (3.2 m2) was available. Factory options included a launching dolly and a larger 55 sq ft (5.1 m2) "turbo" mainsail. [3]
