The Hunter 212 was introduced in the late 1990s as a versatile entrylevel daysailer and "pocket cruiser," designed to bridge the gap between a pure performance dinghy and a traditional small keelboat. Produced by Hunter Marine between 1996 and 2002, the model was a flagship for the company’s thenrevolutionary Advanced Composite Process (ACP). This construction method utilized a thermoformed LuranS plastic skin over a foam core with a fiberglass mat backing, a technique marketed as providing five times the impact resistance of traditional fiberglass. Measuring 21 feet with a substantial beam of over 8 feet, the 212 was designed by Chuck Burns to offer maximum volume and stability in a package that remained easily trailerable behind a standard family vehicle.
