The Hunter 260 is a trailerable cruiser designed by Rob Mazza and built by Hunter Marine from 1997 to 2005. At 26 feet with a water-ballast system and retractable keel, it was designed for easy trailering and launching. The swing keel provides just 1'9" draft in the raised position and 6' when lowered, making it versatile for shallow-water cruising. The B&R rig and fractional sloop configuration keep sail handling simple. Below, the cabin offers comfortable weekending accommodations with a V-berth, convertible dinette, and a small galley.
