The Hunter 23.5 emerged in the early 1990s as a cornerstone of Hunter Marine’s efforts to democratize sailing through the use of water-ballast technology. Produced between 1992 and 1995, this model was designed to bridge the gap between a small daysailer and a capable coastal cruiser, prioritizing ease of trailering and launch without sacrificing the interior volume typically associated with larger yachts. By replacing a traditional lead or iron keel with a hollow tank that fills with approximately 815 pounds of lake or sea water once launched, Hunter engineered a vessel that could be towed by a standard SUV or light truck, yet remain stable enough for family excursions once on the water.
