I'm not familiar with the HP 42. I had a H42 out the Gate a month or so ago.
Fortunately, it was a very mild day, but she still heeled over like we were
beating through 20 kts on other boats. I found her to be very sensitive to
wind gusts, given the size of the boat. The interior looked great, except
when you took a closer look and found cracks in the bulkhead due to flexing,
apparently. This was a much newer boat than late 90s. Not certain, but I
believe it was a 2001 or 2002.

I've been on several large Hunters in the SF bay with wind speeds over 20
kts. They round up like crazy and don't hold a course well. They were
impossible to trim well.

I chartered a Hunter passage 42 probably a late 90's model. Took it
outside the Sea of Abaco to the open atlantic one day when the wind
was up pretty good. Handled like a dream. Very good balance. I was
impressed I expected much less.

Handled, in my opinion, much better than the later Beneteaus I've
raced on for the last two seasons. A 311 and a 343. I'll admit to not
being on either of them long enough to learn to properly trim to the
weather and they were new to the owner also, but they seemed much less
forgiving.


Every single instructor who teaches on them has
only negative things to say. Also, the heel in the picture isn't that
much.
Must not have been a good breeze... no white caps, no spray.

From the picture, I would say "sea" trial was a misnomer. More like a
LIS trial.

Interestingly, Rob contributed not one item when there was a flurry of ASA
questions. I guess he knows a lot about boats and sailing.

Finally, I can say that I appreciate a post of yours. :-)

Shows your a liar again. That's the same boat you have pictures of on
your list of pictures.
And from way back in October 2005. Did the sea trial take almost a year?
Hee hee!
People look here http://members.aol.com/bobsprit/images/ You'll see
other "hunter"
pictures of the same boat from last year. Duh!

Looking through that directory one can see that Sudsy is a bleach blonde.

That's about as likely as Krusty behaving like a normal

He's been doing pretty well at it lately...

10 kts isn't that interesting out here. If it's not a small craft advisory
day, it's kinda boring.

Other than stirring up **** over Scout's new boat, and
acting like a spiteful child over the wind generator
questions, and sucking up to Dave (wonder if he thinks he's
going to need a lawyer soon). Yeah, he's acting pretty
normal... for Bill/Krusty.
