Scotty, the early 80's Hunters were notorious for heavy, heavy weatherhelm
problems. I was also warned off by a LOT of people, including former owners.
The most common complaint for the 27 and 30 was that heavy air of any degree
overpowered the boat easily.

That's total bull****. my first sailboat was a 1980 hunter, and it
was definately NOT overpowered. I always considered it underpowered.
I always thought it needed three more feet of mast.

That said, I found that the early Cherebuni Hunters have held up as well as the
Pearsons and certainly better than many Catalinas.

The early Hunters were very sturdy.

That means that you never looked upon your previous boats as learning tools to

and move up to a more comfortable yacht.
You may not like the term, "Stepping Stone" but it's what most of our boats
are. I love Alien, but I have dreams and plans to own a larger boat in warmer

Not untill I decided to buy another boat. Up till then I was happy,
satisfied with what I sailed. Sorry for you that you can't understand this

I have never been unhappy with any of my boats. I loved all 3 and STILL do.
Moving to a larger or smaller boat doesn't negate that. I sold the Catalina
because I wanted a larger boat in better condition. I sold the Pearson because
my wife and I wanted to buy something suitable for a family. We bought the C&C
because it allowed us to sail basically for free while planning for a larger
boat. All 3 are stepping stones and have been thoroughly enjoyed. At your age
you may find a 30 foot old boat "enough." That's fine. But as you'll note, many
sailors want more and slowly move up to larger boats. I sailed my first two
boats for 8 years. The 3rd was a lucky fluke. I know people who buy different
boats every few years. They just love saling and owning various designs.
What's the problem?

Boats and learning about them are not stepping stones to some

Boats and learning about them are not stepping stones to some
end. They are an end and a beginning in and of themselves.

Like many philsophical statements, the one above has no real meaning.
Almost everyone who sails has progressed beyond the abilities of their first,
second and even third boats. They were stepping stones.
Allow me to help you with the term:

Websters: Stepping Stone: 2 : a means of progress or advancement

Hmmmm. Like many people, you're offended by the capitalistic element introduced
to a passion that you feel is well above such things. It isn't. It takes money
to sail, a boat, usually a car. It's not exactly Yoga, now is it?
