The Hunter 490 occupies a unique niche in British maritime history as one of the earliest "microcruisers" to emerge from the collaboration between founder Michael Poland and the prolific designer Oliver Lee. Launched in the late 1960s under the Essex Boat Company banner before the firm transitioned into Hunter Boats Ltd., the 490 was designed to provide the stability and safety of a keelboat within a 16foot (4.9meter) footprint. It served as the entrypoint model for a generation of sailors, preceding the iconic Hunter 19 and Europa models. Despite its diminutive size, the 490 was built with the same robust GRP techniques that would eventually make Hunter one of the UK's most successful production builders. According to the Hunter Association, the model features a 16' 1" LOA and a 6' beam, maintaining a classic Oliver Lee profile with a relatively lowprofile coachroof and a deep, fixed iron keel.
