No.. not certain it was the identical model. The vessel sailed like a pig
though. This was about 8 years ago. I got a close look at it when I helped
him haul it out. For all intents and purposes it resembled a sturdy version
of a Mac26X without the engine well. Up to that point I didn't really have
an opinion on Hunters... having seen so few. Since then I've sailed their
brand new [at the time] 31 footer.... to say I was less than impressed is
an understatement. It looked reasonable... nice lines and all... but the
sailing characteristics sucked backwash. The joke around the marina was that
the Hunter 31 was the only boat the Bayfield 25 could sail faster than.

Why would they use the 285 for the Liberty Cup? Wouldn't America's
| Cup drivers be bitchin?

Maybe... then again if it's a class fleet... it's just a matter of seeing
which crew can make their Viva Vauxhalls of sail go the fastest.

Oh, so you felt you should type the following even though you didn't know
what you were talking about:

"Surly You Jest Loco!!
Fast... No!
Upgrade from a Mac26X..... barely!
Assumption of Quality...... Base-less.
Loco... having sailed and rescued one.... I can tell you it's a POS!


By the way all I said was it seemed to be a good VALUE at times and stated
why. And it is a good VALUE if it can be bought in the teens.

Yup... Hunters suck. That's the facts..... It was a 285. You really
friggin believe they can turn a pig into a horse by making a few different
models???

Oh and so you feel qualified to make that statement even though you have
never sailed that particular boat.... and in effect don't have a clue about
what you are talking about?

Stick to your trains...

I had more of a clue than you did. You didn't even know what boat was under
discussion.
I've been on the boat and heve seen them underway. If you could comprehend
things you would have understood my reasons for stating that it seemed to be a
good value. By the way when they were used for the Liberty Cup Sailing
World said they performed just fine.
Certain boats are just fine for certain people. If it gives you a superior
feeling inside to bash every Hunter then go for it.

Certainly... a Hunter 285... You're starting to sound like Jim Cate
lamenting the 'M' is a far superior boat to the 'X'.

...but you've never sailed the boat have you?
....and they race rafts as well... without the quailifier of a name like
'Liberty Cup' which has about as much concern or care to me as the
International Viva Vauxhal Challenge.

I bash Fin Keelers and Club Racers as well..... does that make you feel
bullied or defensive??

Never said I did and my remarks that stated they seemed like a good value
were based on other observations.
Your looking like a fool here as usual.

Yeah... you never sailed the boat... you whined like a school girl at a
rodeo... you tried in vain to afford your opinion validity.... and you
failed on all counts.

Please reaffirm who is the fool here.... I believe it's the Idiot who has
never sailed a Hunter 285 and yet seems to be taking umbrage with someone
who has.

Loco... you are the ultimate statement of a Club Racer.... you claim to
know all and prove to all you know nothing.

Shut the **** Up ... you are an Idiot!

Now be a Good Boy and Go Away........ Sheesh Already!

No wonder Bobsprit beats you into oblivion every time you two collide.....
it's because you are a Brainless ****! Try grabbing a friggin clue sometime
in your pathetic life!
