Optional equipment included an asymmetrical spinnaker, roller furler, front hatch and a bimini top and dodger, as well netting for the open transom. The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is on the port side, under the bow berth. The head is located in the bow cabin on the starboard side under the "V"-berth. Cabin headroom is 52 in (132 cm).

“ I just received my asymmetrical spinnaker, with sock and turtle bag, along with a new 135 Genoa. The entire process was simple and both sales and the design team were in regular contact if there were any questions. The customer portal was easy to use and lets you keep track of where in the process your sails are. Great sails, great service -Graham Edwards (Facebook)

“ The whole team at Precision Sails was fantastic from start to finish. We’ve had a laminate main and genoa made so far and have a spinnaker on the way. They listened carefully to our needs and recommended a great sail cloth. We couldn’t have gotten more bang for our buck! -Noah Regelous (Google)

“ We received our spinnaker and launched it yesterday and I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with it. The service we received from your company was exceptional and the quality of your product is second to none. We will certainly be return customers in the next few months to replace our main and jib sails and will recommend your company to all our sailing buddies. Once again-thank you.” -Daniel Jackson (Google)

“ we had good communication during the planning stages and the knowledgeable people at precision sails really got me fixed up good! The sails look and work fabulous! my boat sails better than it ever had! couldn’t be more pleased with the product AND the service!” -Fred Jelich (Facebook)

“ Our new furling jib for a Corsair 27 Had to be specially designed due to the height of the furler, but this was accomplished quickly and in short order we had our sail which fits beautifully and has a great shape. It’s everything we could have wanted, high tech design, thoughtfully executed and affordable.” -Nancy Y. (Yelp)

Hunter212; dropped the centerboard (keel) while pulling the boat out of the lake. As the trailer came up the incline of the boat ramp the end of the keel was ground off. Would like any information about the keel, does it have a lead center, what is the composite of the material. Have attached a few pictures to try and explain what I am trying to say. Is there a way I can jack the boat up off the trailer without damaging the boat, where would I put the cribbing. Any information is welcome. Thank You.

Swing Keel / Centerboard removal & maintenance: Hunter 22

• 212 Owners Manual.pdf 5.8 MB Views: 294

Not a big deal to fix. First you will need to get it off the trailer. Do you have a picnic table and a strong oak tree near by? If so, park the boat under a stout branch... lower the trailer tongue all the way, put the picnic table under the transom... maybe sacrifice an old life jacket on the table top to keep the bottom from getting scuffed and then raise the tongue. This will lift the transom off of the trailer. Then run a heavy tow strap under the bow and up into the oak branch... release the bow eye strap on the boat and ratchet the bow off of the trailer. Pull the trailer out. lower the keel a little and then take a grinding wheel and remove any loose fiberglass. Feather the edges of the damaged area into the clean fiberglass and then lay about three layers of fiberglass cloth over the damaged areas ... I'd recommend epoxy resin and not polyester. Fair it with filling compound (not bondo) and paint. It will take a single afternoon to fix.

Equipment: Exterior and interior cushions, roller furling, Honda 2 HP long shaft outboard. Spare trailer tire. and many extras.

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)
