Hi Bob, congrats on the good news. Was out on my slip neighbors 426 DS
on Sunday. He has a FULL cockpit enclosure. It was like sailing a
solarium. Absolutely no sensation of movement until we had to reef as
the wind picked up off of the Ambrose racon. Broad reached back into
the harbor at 10 kn. These boats do move and sail well.

some of my non-sailing friends think Hunters are great boats with a great
rep. Name recognition, I guess.


As Marc (He sails a Freedom) will attest, the newer DS models from Hunter are
okay looking and quite nice. The fit and finish is pretty good, a LOT better
than Beneteau. A lot of folks probaby dockside condoize them, but they actually
seem to sail reasonably well.
