Hunter 707 Fittings Guide

The 707 was designed in 1995 by David Thomas and built by Hunter Boats. Usually sailed with four or five crew and regularly reaching speeds of 5 knots upwind and 12 to 14 knots downwind. With a length of 7.07 m and a beam of 2.53m, the 707 carries a fractional symmetrical spinnaker. It is a rewarding and exciting boat to race in all conditions.

Below is a fully Allen-approved fitting list for a Hunter 707. All the items in this list are class-legal and are easy to swap out for old existing hardware.

Mainsheet

A5166ASSEMBLED - Standard height mainsheet jammer with 60mm pro-ratchet block. This item is an easy replacement as it will fit directly into the existing holes already drilled in the deck.

A2060 - Dynamic 60mm block. Three of these make up the mainsheet system. Two are attached to the boom and one is attached to the mainsheet car. The hole through the middle of the block is used as the becket to dead-end the mainsheet.

Mast Base

A2060 - Dynamic 60mm block. One of these for each of the main, jib and spinnaker halyard turning points (three total).

A20401 - Dynamic 40mm Block. One for the pole uphaul and one for the outhaul.

A..76-496 - Medium ball bearing cam cleat with mega-pro lead. Three in total installed ontop of the hatch lid. Outhaul, pole up and down each use one. It is recommended the pole-up cam cleat is also installed using an A.293 riser to make it easier to use.

A.293 - 22mm cam cleat lifter. Used to raise the pole up cam cleat.

A4566STRAIGHT - Straight swivel with medium ball bearing cam cleat. Used for the Vang control line. An angled version is also available if you prefer the cam cleat to be angled upwards.

Top tip - If you are finding it difficult to cleat any of the control lines, or find the lines coming from the mast are too high, try fitting an A4675 wire under fairlead to the cam cleat. This will help guide the rope into the cam cleat at the right angle.
