The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States between 1995 and 1999, but it is now out of production.[1][5]
The Hunter 280 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop B&R rig with a full-batten mainsail and 110% genoa, a raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom with a swimming platform, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel or an optional tiller and a fixed fin keel or option shoal-draft wing keel.
