Do you want competitive racing in an affordable boat with a friendly fleet to enjoy the socials with? If you’ve said yes to any of these, then the Hunter 707 is for you. To find out what the boat and the fleet have to offer, the class association have organised a test sail weekend, on the 6 and 7 March, for all prospective owners.

The Hunter 707 is the largest one-design fleet competing in the Solent with regular class racing taking place in Scotland and on the East Coast. Formerly voted 'yacht of the year' the Hunter 707 is raced with a maximum of five crew, and carries a conventional spinnaker. The 707 fleets healthy mix of male, female, young and old are famously sociable and welcoming, optimising every opportunity to socialise at all events in the comprehensive racing calendar. Don’t take our word for it, this is your opportunity to try before you buy.
