A brilliantly designed and well-equipped cruiser, Teazy is a superb example of the Hunter Horizon 23. Designed by David Thomas and built by Hunter Yachts UK, this twin-keel yacht is known for its excellent handling, clever use of space, and ease of sailing—making it perfect for both solo sailors and those moving up from dinghies.
Key Features:
Twin keels for hydrodynamic lift and efficient sailing
Self-tacking jib – ideal for single-handed sailing
Transom-hung rudder with extendable tiller for easy manoeuvring
Separate heads compartment – rare on boats of this size
Roomy accommodation for 4 people
With a 50% ballast ratio, the Horizon 23 is both stable and responsive, even in stronger winds. Most Hunter 23s feature an outboard well in the cockpit, which can be noisy and affect airflow. Teazy has had this well professionally fibre-glassed over, providing extra storage space instead. A brand-new 6hp long shaft Mercury outboard is now mounted on the transom via a bracket.
The fibreglass hull and deck require minimal maintenance—just a quick bottom clean and anti-foul once a year. Teazy’s current drying mooring allows you to walk out and easily clean the hull with a soft brush in just 30 minutes.
She’s in great condition and sailed regularly. Everything you need to start sailing immediately is included in the sale.

Teazy has been a wonderful step up from dinghy sailing, offering the freedom to explore further and overnight in comfort. My family has enjoyed sailing her—even taking her out on the 3rd of January!
