Broker's Comments
The Hunter Horizon 23 is a very well thought of compact family cruiser. Designed by David Thomas, Hunter Boats seem to have managed to negate so many of the compromises you usually have to consider when buying a small boat.
She looks good, is easy to handle, sails well (a twin-fin keel rather than a bilge keeler is how she is described) and has an incredible amount of accommodation and storage for a boat this size.
This particular example has been very well cared for, lightly used and regularly serviced and maintained.
They usually are found with an outboard engine however this has a Yanmar diesel inboard, fitted from new. She was a factory fitted boat rather than a kit and you can see the by the quality of her interior fit out. She's well equipped and as she's only just back in the water she's all ready to go sailing
