Remarks

The Hunter Horizon 23 has a very well appointed interior with L-shaped galley, one of the best heads compartments in a boat of her size, and ample accommodation space for family cruising. This is a very well presented example with desirable wing keel giving good performance under sail. She is easily handled, with her self-tacking jib on roller reefing system enabling easy single handed sailing. She was purchased by the current own some 9 years ago and has clearly been well looked after.
