This Hunter Horizon 23 is compact family cruiser, with a very good sailing ability, and particularly easy handling. She has a fractional rig with self-tacking jib. Both twin keel and fin keel versions were built - Hunters calliing the twin keel versions 'twin fin' rather than 'bilge keel' to emphasise their performance. This one looks to be a very clean and tidy example.

The Horizon 23 provides excellent accommodation below decks, given her size.

This Hunter looks very well kept below decks as you will see from the pictures and video.
