Capt Rob has taken a bit if flak as a result of posting the above
statement. I think the reason is that we are using terms like "go
offshore" pretty loosely since they can mean different things to
different people.


Dan, while this is true and obvious, Jeff is not interested in that.
He's simply trolling. Of course a Hunter 34 can go offshore. And of
course it's not going to ride like a Block Island 40 or a Pearson
Wanderer for that matter. Jeff is only looking to attack me because I
gave him hell on Alt.sailing.asa and now I'm here posting normally. His
comment about a bunch of clowns laughing at the Hunter boats is all you
need to hear. Utter nonsense. I've heard a lot of bad stuff about
almost every make...even Swan. But the sheer and vast numbers of
popular brands like Hunter makes for many more negative stories than
companies which built fewer hulls. Even funnier, Jeff thinks we need to
hear his story about laughing sailors, but my client's experience
shouldn't be heard because I haven't sailed in big seas.
I spoke to Shaun off this group...he was curious about why the broker
on the 34 wasn't responding. I think they are worried he's a scammer.
We get a lot of phoney overseas queries on boats...almost always fakes.
He says there aren't any boats where he is that can offer what the H34
does at the price. Perhaps THAT is what needs to be examined more
closely....?
