The Hunter Medina 20 was designed by David Thomas for British Hunter boats in 1979 as a fast lifting keel trailer-sailer, based on the designs of the highly successful Hunter Sonata. It had a single cabin with four berths and a galley. It proved itself to be a practical and well built small cruiser-racer, with a light 860 kg displacement, fast hull. Her draft is 3' 6" with the keel down and 10" with the keel raised. The keel is made of cast iron and lifts straight up and down on a winch. It weighs 220 kilos. The type has ceased production, but the high build quality and demand has ensured that most are still afloat, so the Medina is still an active class. A total of 165 Medinas were produced. Its equivalent in the current Hunter line is the H20 Fox. ==Sailing qualities== The hull and large sail-plan give the Medina speed comparable to many 25-footers. However, when overpressed with too much sail, the boat will have a tendency to gripe (luff up without tiller input) or even broach.〔(Duncan Kent, 'Hunter Medina', Sailing Today, 2005 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hunter Medina 20」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
