Are Hunter 212s tender?

When I see a boat that has a CB and no ballast, I think hiking straps and a lot of physical effort to keep it upright. What are owners experiencing?

Some view sailing as a relaxing hoby and others as a sport. The 212 is more sporty... :biggrin:

And I'm not looking to relax when I take my Hobie 16 out for the day....:yikes:

Sporty is my space but trying to accommodate less experienced and physical crew. Being used to small dinghies, I’m sure the 212 would be much less physical.
