Your daughter has good taste. Was she bred from the same sailor as your son?

I know what you mean, but honestly, I saw that joke and a short bit by

Williams. Did Jonny Depp get anything for his gay pirate movie?

Nope!
But my daughter has seen the pic about 6 times.

I felt that the above comment and it's phrasing said it all.
I was right.

We sailed our Hunter in 35 knot winds at least a dozen times. Apparently some
are better than others... either the boats or the sailors, take yer pick.


Wuss! I sailed my 25' Hunter in 60 knot winds.

Here's a tip. NEVER gybe in 60 kt. winds. I'm suprised the traveler
didn't rip right off, but then, it's a very sturdy boat.

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.

The only time your Hunter saw 60 kt winds was on the delivery truck.

No. That's *IF* I were to sell her. I don't think of my boats as 'stepping
stones'.
