    C. Raymond Hunt, and internationally known and respected helmsman and yacht designer. A gifted visionary, with an innate sense of the physics of motion. To his peers he was a man “ahead of his time” To his competitors, through his creation of the deep-V hull, and the radical international 110, the preeminent forefather of Hunt’s 10 series of yachts, he was feared on the race coarse.

    James H. “Sham” Hunt, on his fathers 10 Series, “I have sailed on all…like the way the 110 goes through the water the best but a bit wet and pounds in a sea way…..the 510 was very quick, CRH and my mother won their share at Edgartown Regatta and the NYYC cruise. My favorite would be the 210…I am 6’2 so the 110 was very cramped for me whereas the 210 had comfort in comparison.”

    Subtitled C. Raymond Hunt and His Remarkable Boats

    This is the story of a supremely gifted sailor who became one of the 20th century's most innovative designers of both sail and powerboats. Today, the name C. Raymond Hunt remains synonymous with some of the most popular boats ever created. They include the classic Concordia yawls and sloops, the original Boston Whaler, the pioneering 1960 Miami-Nassau race-winner Moppie, and the production Bertram 25 and 31 Sportfisherman, 110s and 210s, among others.
