Welcome to the temporary homepage of the Medina 20 Class Association. The Association is an enthusiastic group of boat owners who share a common interest in getting the best performance and greatest pleasure from the Hunter Medina 20, a superb small cruiser/racer. We share our experiences, tuning tips and ideas so that all members can benefit. Membership is open to all Medina 20 owners and offers the benefits of an occasional newsletter, local owner groups, and access to project notes and the Association Handbook.

Designed by David Thomas for Hunter boats in 1979, the Medina 20 is a sporty lifting keel trailer-sailer, based on the designs of the highly successful Hunter Sonata. It combines excellent performance, ease of sailing and practicality, within a 20ft overall length. Compact 4-berth accommodation is provided in a single cabin.

With its light 860kg displacement and lifting keel the Medina is a breeze to launch and recover, while the low (keel up) 10" draft allows Medinas to reach those places other boats cannot go. With a high performance bendy mast, fractional rig and 140% deck-hugging genoa, the Medina is fantastic to windward and is capable of matching or beating many fast 27 footers. Flat after hull sections promote early surfing and Medinas can easily attain in excess of 10 knots under spinnaker downwind giving an exciting ride. For a full specification, email for a copy of the PBO Test page.

We hope to develop this site and provide much more useful information and a forum. If you wish to join the Medina 20 Class Association, please e-mail info@Medina20.com
