text: # Hunter 19-1
  
  The Hunter 19-1 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed as a day sailer and small cruising sailboat by the Hunter Design Team and first built in 1981.
  
  The design was originally marketed by the manufacturer as the Hunter 19, but is now usually referred to as the Hunter 19-1 to differentiate it from the unrelated 1993 Hunter 19-2 design, which was also sold as the Hunter 19.
  
  ## Production
  
  The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States between 1981 and 1983, but it is now out of production.
  
  ## Design
  
  The Hunter 19-1 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a slightly reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a centerboard. It displaces 1,250 lb (567 kg).
  
  The boat has a draft of 4.50 ft (1.37 m) with the centreboard extended and 0.58 ft (0.18 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.
  
  The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. The design features a self-bailing cockpit, built-in outboard engine mount, a portable toilet and a cooler.
  
  The design has a hull speed of 5.12 kn (9.48 km/h).
