David, I'm not trying to sell it short. I don't like Hunters generally, but
I suppose it's possible for there to be decent ones. I believe this one
might not have the stupid arch in the back. If that's the case, then it
probably sails better than others. I typically teach on newer models (early
this century), and I don't like them. You'll note that I didn't say he
should avoid them, rather I said I would have recommended trying different
boats before making a decision. Perhaps he did that. Certainly, given his
limited experience sailing larger boats and his choice of a Mac (don't lets
start vilifying Macs), it could easily be inferred that he didn't try a lot
of boats. I await clarification.

I generally don't agree with posting private disputes on these public
forums, much less establishing a website to publicize your issues.

But having said that, let me offer some advice:

Forget the sailing certification. It is simply a piece of paper. Actual
experience and capability is what really counts.

And don't let Jonathon sell your 1980 Hunter 37 short. I believe that is
the Cherebuni designed boat and is quite capable.
