The Hunter 191, frequently referred to simply as the Hunter 19 to distinguish it from the later waterballast model of the 1990s, was the second design produced by Hunter Marine following the success of the Hunter 25. Launched in 1974, this vessel was a critical component of the company’s early strategy to provide affordable, trailerable pocket cruisers to the burgeoning American middleclass sailing market. Designed by the legendary naval architect John Cherubini, the 191 shares the distinctive "Cherubini lines"—a graceful sheer and a balanced hull form—that have made early Hunters a favorite among traditionalists. According to the MarlowHunter Official Archives, the boat was produced between 1974 and 1982, serving as a gateway vessel for many sailors who would eventually move up to the larger Legend series.
