Shaun,
I am in the process of buying a 1981 37 foot hunter cutter
rigged but it has
a shoal keel, don't know much about sail boats yet have
only ever had power
boats before. I was told that the early 80's cherubini
design are excellent
quality and design boats, plus the price I'm paying for it
at $25,000.00
with all the accessory's the current seller has added to
make it a more live
aboard comfortable and blue water friendly i don't think I
can wrong with
it. I had the boat surveyed and my surveyor told me the
boat and all the
extra's included make a real good deal and I shouldn't
have any problems
other then a few minor things but that's to be expected He
siad he would
feel comfortable and safe going to the carribean in it as
it sits now so I
think I'm gonna be ok with it. I have heard that the later
80's models had
some problems so You might want to consider only looking
at the early 80's
models.



go to http://www.image-ination.com/sailcalc.html and you'll see the
motion comfort is low compared to similar sized boats and the roll over
ratio isn't the best.
