ISAF (International SAILING Federation) gave the U20 a 'recognized' keel boat classification
The Ultimate 20 is a performance-driven, mono-hull boat designed to reach multi-hull speeds. When you're at the helm, you'll feel a quick, dinghy-like response combined with the stability normally expected on a much larger boat. At just 21 feet long, the Ultimate 20's smart design and fine craftsmanship combine to create a sturdy, reliable, safe, and economical boat.
With its small size and simple design, the Ultimate 20 is the ideal boat for racing. Whether your preference is One Design, PHRF, or mid week beer cans, the Ultimate 20 offers plenty of thrills. Standard features include positive flotation, a patented keel lifting system and a deck mounted bow-sprit. The Ultimate 20 is easy to sail and just as easy to launch. With precision control and state-of-the-art technology, this maintenance-free performer also carries an award for the industry's highest resale value.
The Ultimate 20 is perfect for sailors looking to graduate from smaller boats, catamarans or sailboards. And first time sailors will find the efficient size, unparalleled stability and spacious cockpit of the Ultimate 20 hard to resist.
Conceived for a crew of between 2 and 5 people, the Dolphin 81 One Design is a basically sporty boat and perfect for those wishing to enjoy sailing with rigging and marine equipment which is both complete and well-designed.
Conceived for speed, the Dolphin 81 One Design is at the same time reliable and easy to handle; her dimensions also mean that she is comfortable and safe enough to be sailed for pure pleasure by a less expert family crew.
Novice sailors and veterans alike appreciate a boat that is easy to sail, packed with extra value and offers plenty of performance. Hunter’s exciting 27X delivers all that and much more, resulting in an exceptional weekend cruiser with all the comforts of home. An impressive interior incorporates a refreshing sense of spaciousness with its large salon and 6’2” headroom. Other interior highlights include almond wood cabinets and bulkheads trimmed in teak, an L-shaped starboard galley, forward V-berth, private aft cabin, plus a fully enclosed head. Versatile sail plan options allow you to maximize your own performance requirements.
