The Marlow-Hunter 18 is a versatile fiberglass daysailer designed by Glenn Henderson to provide a stable, modern platform for family cruising and sailing education. Introduced in 2011, it served as the direct successor to the long-running Hunter 170. While the previous 170 was famously constructed from Advanced Composite Process (ACP) plastic, the Marlow-Hunter 18 returned to traditional fiberglass construction with a balsa-cored hull and deck, offering a more repairable and rigid structure. The boat is characterized by its wide 7'2" beam and a distinct hard chine that runs from the mid-section to the transom, providing significant initial stability that makes it an approachable choice for novice sailors.
