Hunter provided the professionally moulded GRP hull and deck, allowing the purchaser to complete the interior, systems and equipment to their own requirements.Designed by renowned yacht designer David Thomas, the Horizon 26 was developed from the successful Hunter Delta 25 and introduced a raised coachroof and unusually spacious accommodation, including a separate aft cabin and heads compartment. Her deep, efficient bilge keels provide good sailing performance while retaining the practical advantages of a bilge-keeler, including the ability to take the ground upright.The combination of a robust GRP hull, practical twin-keel configuration and generous accommodation made the Horizon 26 a particularly successful British coastal cruiser. # 113SSR10415Disclaimer For a full, detailed specification with additional photographs and direct contact details for the listing office visit our website The Company offers the details of this vessel in good faith but cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of this information nor warrant the condition of the vessel.
