Hunter 19- good first boat?

Well-known member

I've been gaining some experience crewing with friends and am now looking to buy a boat for myself. I have a rather limited budget and the Hunter 19 seems to be crop up often in my price range. I like the look of it, and the fact that it would be easily trailed. It also seems to suit my needs for day sails and possible overnights if I can drag the girlfriend along! My main concern is that, living in Stornoway, I could be facing potentially quite serious sailing conditions. I certainly don't intend to seek out rough weather by any means, but on the other hand I can't discuont the possibility of being caught out. The Hunter is obviously a very small boat- would I be crazy to leave harbour in one? Thanks! Rob  

The Hunter 19, and the marginally more civilised Hunter Europa, same hull different coachroof, are excellent boats. Very seaworthy and surprisingly quick. Obviously limited on accomodation but super wee boats. David Blagden sailed his across the Atlantic.  

My wife and I had a Hunter Europa as our first boat. It was very seaworthy and surprisingly quick. We had a triple keeled version which always fell over on its drying mooring but fin keel versions are also out there. Its hull was from a Squib keelboat but with a deck moulding fitted. I would say it is ideal as a first boat although rather cramped inside. If you like more comfort (though not as quick to sail) we have also owned a Newbridge Venturer which are 22ft but much more space including a separate heads.

In the old church there you can see the best extant depiction of a medieval hebridean galley. Some of these were probably little bigger than 20' or so and were used for 00s of years as the mainstay of the local economy, and primitive compared to what you are considering (open to the sea, poor windward performance, no lifesaving equipment etc. etc.). A boat like a Hunter 19 with a full deck and self-draining cockpit will stay afloat long after the crew have given up caring. Stay away from the Blue Men of Shiant and you'll be fine /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif  

That would be, as said, a good boat. There's quite a few sound little boats like that. Prelude, Foxcub etc., all available for less than £1500 for a good one with a trailer. Don't be tempted to buy a rough one cheap. a set of sails would set you back £700, so you may as well shop for a top quality example. There is a young guy who was on the next mooring to me with a rough Europa was planning to take it to sea and do a Round-Britain. He is an RYA Instructor so presumably knows what he is about.

I seem to remember considering one of these back in 2002, and I got a PBO report on it. If I'm correct then it was the lifting keel version I was interested and the only downside as I recall was that the lifting mechanism was hydraulic and the ram is installed upside down in the keel box, which meant if it corroded/failed it had to be cut out as it was otherwise inaccessible (and I suppose irreplaceable). So watch out for that

"He is an RYA Instructor so presumably knows what he is about. " Sure!  

RYA instructor = marine engineer?  

my first boat was a Europa,fin/bulb keel, very fast, great first boat, big enough for two / three to cruise, four for a race, very seaworthy, i heartily reccomend them  

Thanks very much for the responses- clearly a lot of good feeling for these wee boats! There seem to be quite a few around, and from what I've seen less than £2000 in good condition on a trailer (or with a tender and a cradle) seems to be about right. If I can haggle that down then that's all the better. Any idea what the hull speed would be for one of these? Also, (and I know this is a hard thing to quantify!) how much of a chop does it take to make things slow and unpleasant?

Out of interest, much of my sailing has been aboard traditional Sgoth Niseach fishing boats (see www.ansulaire.com ) which have a shallow double-ended clinker hull and a dipping lugsail. They're good, fun boats, but windward performance is a bit lacking compared to modern rigs! However at 27 and 33ft the two that I have sailed are obviously a bit bigger than the Hunter, but I guess I'm comparing Apples and Pears now.  

They will do about 5 knots and a bit. But are not easy to get planing as they have a narrow stern. Which is good news in a rough following sea. My Foxcub had a broad flat stern which would plane but was a pain in the arse when running.  

my first boat was also a europa - folly - super first yacht - we used to trail sail and then after that kept her afloat - sailed her 3 up from harwich to oostende and loved her - lead to strong faith in hunters - have had 3 - go for it

EZLee said: Hi Paul, I came across this thread as just in the process of purchasing 'folly' which has been advertised as built in 1995 as a Hunter Europa 19, although a previous bill of sale states it was built in 1972, the boat is still in he water and i have looked at here and she seems fine, just wondered if you know exactly when she was built or can offer some information, advice, or feedback for her please? Click to expand...

Well this thread was a bit of a blast from the past! I never did buy the Hunter. Got a Wayfarer instead, then a year later an Albin Vega. I do wonder how things would have worked out with the Hunter. Might well have put off the other half for life.  

I was just about to tell you that Hunter is a bad decision, but now I see the topic is from 2008 and you got Wayfarer)) great choice

Review of Hunter 19 Mk II (Hunter)

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

The boat is equipped with 11.0 liter fresh water capacity.

The boat equipped with a fractional rig. A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a genaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Hunter 19 Mk II (Hunter) is 2.46, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 5.3 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Hunter 19 Mk II (Hunter) is about 76 kg/cm, alternatively 429 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 76 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 429 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Hunter 19 (Europa)

Hunter 19 (Europa) is a 18 ′ 11 ″ / 5.8 m monohull sailboat designed by Oliver Lee and built by Hunter Boats Ltd. between 1972 and 1982.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

A development of the SQUIB day boat with cabin added. Known as the EUROPA after 1974. Shoal draft version draws 2.23’.

To be represented by Premium Yachts, Ferretti Yachts and Riva , two prestigious brands of the Ferretti Group, will be present at the Moscow International Boat Show 2013, displaying motor yacht Ferretti 530 as well as Riva Iseo yacht tender.

Luxury motor yacht Ferretti 530

Luxury yacht Ferretti 530 was very keen to undertake in collaboration once again with AYT – Advanced Yacht Technology, Ferretti Group Engineering Division and Studio Zuccon International Project . The compact dimensions, 16 meters long and almost 5 meters wide, allow the 530 yacht to deliver grand Italian luxury and cruising immersed in such comfort until now unheard of in a yacht of this size.

Ferretti 530 yacht boasts three revolutionary innovations: the full beam master cabin with chaise longue and two large open view windows that make it a real suite at sea level bathed in light, tones and the natural essences of teak. Moving the galley from the center to the aft section creates a unique open space that includes the saloon, galley, cocktail bar and the dining area, the cockpit area continues thanks to the tilting window. The roll bar free sky lounge and the spoiler allow the 530 a sporty appearance combined with elegantly formal lines.

Ferretti 530 Yacht - Interior

Riva , the iconic Ferretti Group brand, presented a new model at the historical Lake d’Iseo shipyards in July 2011. Featuring elegance and ease of transportation as its distinctive characteristics, Iseo superyacht tender , a 27 foot runabout, is destined to become a must-have for those who love cruising on both lakes and the sea, and, most importantly, design enthusiasts. It is also perfect for anyone wishing to enhance their yacht with an exclusive tender that will never go unnoticed.

Riva Iseo superyacht tender

Due to its ease of manoeuvrability and size, Iseo yacht tender is also ideal as a tender for large yachts. Innovative and elegant, it can also guarantee comfort in bad weather conditions. Besides the electrohydraulic bimini top, it was also designed with a waterproof, automobile-style soft top which protects those on board against water and the wind during cruising.

Who is Elena Baturina? Here's the Russian billionaire's net worth and truth behind $3.5M transfer to Hunter Biden

Hunter Biden's name has been linked to a set of conspiracy theories after the Senate Homeland Security Committee's report was released on Wednesday, September 23, 2020. As per a string of explosive reports by New York Post and Daily Mail, Hunter allegedly sent “thousands of dollars” to people who may have been involved in Eastern European prostitution and sex trafficking rings and was involved in a “a financial relationship” with former Mayor of Moscow's widow Elena Baturina.

According to New York Post, the Senate report claims “extensive public reporting concerning Hunter Biden’s alleged involvement with prostitution services.” It also states that the “records on file with the Committees do not directly confirm or refute these individual reports.” The GOP report does state the following though: “However, they do confirm that Hunter Biden sent thousands of dollars to individuals who have either: 1) been involved in transactions consistent with possible human trafficking; 2) an association with the adult entertainment industry; or 3) potential association with prostitution.”

The bombshell report did not mention Joe Biden's involvement in any wrongdoings but focused on how his son “cashed in” on his father's position by joining the board of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian gas company. The Democratic presidential nominee's campaign has chastised the reports as an attempt by an ally of President Donald Trump's to damage his election rival. 

Why did Hunter Biden get a $3.5 million transfer wire?

As per the same report, Hunter's company Rosemont Seneca Thornton received a $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Baturina — the richest woman in Russia and the widow of Yury Luzhkov, the former mayor of Moscow — on Valentine's Day in 2014. Calling her involvement with Hunter “a financial relationship,” the report read: “Baturina became Russia’s only female billionaire when her plastics company, Inteko, received a series of Moscow municipal contracts while her husband was mayor.” That's not all. Reportedly, Baturina sent 11 wires transfers between May and December 2015 to a bank account belonging to BAK USA, a tech startup that filed for bankruptcy in March 2019. The report also quotes that nine of those 11 wire transfers — described as “Loan Agreement” in the details section — were first sent to Rosemont Seneca Partners and then transferred to BAK USA.

That brings us to the big question buzzing in many minds: Who really is Elena Baturina and why was $3.5 million transferred to Hunter's company? As of now, there is no clear indication as to why the wire transfers were made. 

Who is Elena Baturina?

Born as Yelena Nikolayevna Baturina on March 8, 1963, she is a Russian billionaire businesswoman and philanthropist. Baturina first started her career as a design-technician at the Frezer plant. Back in 1987, she first locked eyes with Yury Luzhkov when they were both serving at Mosgorispolkom, a Soviet-era municipal commission. The professional relationship soon turned platonic and led to marriage in 1991. In an interview with Sobesednik, she confessed, “We never even thought about anything like that when we were working together, it all happened much later.”

In 1991, she founded Inteco — which first started as a plastics business and then moved into construction. The next year, in 1992, Luzhkov became the Mayor of Moscow and served until 2010. Elena's company's profits grew day by day and by the year 2007, its revenue spiralled up to $1 billion, as per its own data. By 2009, Baturina owned 99 percent of the company with the remaining one percent on the balance sheet. The next year, she was named one of the largest taxpayers in Russia.

In 2010, there was a major change in their lives after Luzhkov was removed from the mayor's post. As per Daily Mail, Russia's president Dmitry Medvedev fired Luzhkov over corruption allegations, which were never proven in court. Following that, Elena moved to London along with her two daughters, Elena and Olga. 

A look at her wealth and business: What is her net worth?

After heading Inteco for two decades, she started selling all her assets in 2011. That year, she started a hotel chain in Ireland, Austria, the Czech Republic and Russia, invested in real estate in Europe and USA, renewable energy interests in Italy and Greece along with a membrane construction enterprise in Germany.

As per Forbes , Elena ranks #1613 on the list of billionaires in 2020 and her current net worth amounts to $1.3 billion. As per a press statement by her office in 2018, she was not only the only businesswoman in Eastern Europe with an empire worth over $1 billion, but it was her 13th consecutive year as Russia's richest woman and her fortune had increased by $200 million.

One of the 72 self-made women in the "three comma club," she set up the Be Open Foundation in 2011 and has been actively involved in philanthopy and charity work. As per a Finance Uncovered report, she is a keen golfer, skier and equestrian who owns Beaurepaire Park, a moated country mansion and 250-acre estate in rural Hampshire. On December 10, 2019, her husband Luzkhov died in Munich, Germany at the age of 83.
