Designed by the legendary C. Raymond Hunt in 1946, this classic 30-footer represents early post-war yacht design at its finest. Hunt, who would later become famous for his deep-V powerboat hulls and America's Cup designs, created the 210 as a versatile coastal cruiser that balances performance with practicality. Built by Graves Yacht Yard with 460 hulls completed, the 210 features Hunt's signature attention to seakindly hull forms. The fractional sloop rig and moderate sail area of 305 square feet provide manageable sailing for small crews, while the fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration offers good directional stability and reasonable pointing ability. With a displacement of 2,300 pounds and ballast ratio of nearly 50%, she carries herself well in a breeze. The 210's construction varied between plywood with single chine and fiberglass, reflecting the transition period when she was built. Her comfortable 13.73 comfort ratio and conservative 1.77 capsize screening value make her well-suited for coastal cruising and club racing. The boat's hull speed of 6.36 knots and sail area to displacement ratio of 28.07 indicate she'll move respectably in light to moderate conditions while maintaining the stability needed for family sailing.
