The British Hunter Ranger 245, introduced in 1994, represents a pinnacle of the "big-little boat" philosophy championed by designer David Thomas and Hunter Boats Ltd. Designed to provide the accommodations of a 27-footer within a 24-foot hull, the Ranger 245 was the compact sibling to the highly successful Ranger 265. It was engineered specifically to address the needs of coastal cruising families who required a shoal-draft vessel capable of taking the ground while maintaining a level of sailing performance often sacrificed in bilge-keel designs. The model was a significant departure from the earlier Horizon series, utilizing the innovative "Ranger hull" which featured a long waterline, a subtle chine for enhanced stability, and a modern fractional rig.
