I'll second Loco on the Ballast/Displacement ratio.

I used to teach on these boats and we were required
to write up three probelms on every boat we took out.
The joke for these Bent-e-toads was the instructors
put "Not enough lead in keel" for a probelm.

In any kind of wind you are reefing down. Roller furling
kills the shape of the head sail. Offshore, with reefed sails
the leeway is horrible. You are lucky if you get 1 knot made
good upwind.

These boats are for inland and coastal waters where you can
anchor at night.

While we are "OT" (on topic), What are the down falls and faults with
Hunters? Give me the down and dirty facts. I don't want to eventually get

my
dreamboat and find it is a nightmare! :-O

Cheap construction. Balast/displacement ratios probably not suited to

ocean
sailing. Interior layout would not be conducive to your Carib. cruise

plans
which requires days at sea.
