Remarks

The Hunter Horizon 23 has a very well appointed interior with galley, one of the best heads compartments in a boat of her size, and ample accommodation space for four plus two children, all of which make her an ideal compact family sailing cruiser. This very well presented example also boasts cabin heating, full cooker with oven, new Jabsco sea toilet (2018), recent new windows (2017) and recent new outboard motor (2015). She is easily handled under both sail and motor, with her self tacking jib on roller reefing system enabling easy single handed sailing. Purchased by the current owners in April 2018, she is now for sale as the owner wishes to upsize.
