The Hunter 170, introduced in 1999, represented a significant technological pivot for Hunter Marine as the company sought to dominate the family daysailer market with a "maintenance-free" platform. Developed as a joint venture with JY Sailboats, the 170 was built using Hunter's proprietary Advanced Composite Process (ACP), a departure from traditional hand-laid fiberglass. This construction consists of a thermoformed Luran-S (ABS plastic) outer skin from BASF, a high-density foam core, and an inner structural skin. The result, as noted in contemporary evaluations by Sailing Magazine, was a vessel marketed for its impact resistance, unsinkability, and a light-weight profile—tipping the scales at just 480 pounds—making it exceptionally easy to trailer and launch.
