hunter 34
ok folks this is not a troll and i don't want to start a flame war.
I am getting closer to buying the boat that look like it is going to suit me. About me a little, i am one of those lucky sod's that can fix almost any thing and often with a pair of pliers and a bit of wire. After managing a autowrecking yard for over 8 years i have got the gist of most things mechanical and painting wise...on the other hand my timber work is a bit shy. What i am looking for is REAL not percieved or imagined faults with the hunter 34 1980 to 1987 type, deep keel tall rig. 80% of my sailing will be offshore coastal along the Western Australian coast. I started sailing at about 10 on windrush 12's up to 14's then a 24 ft blue bird sloop "allegedly a early vanderstat design" then to a RL24 ( http://www.rlyachts.net/index24.asp ) now at 40 + i am moving up a little...now keep in mind i work at fixing things so my boat WILL have repairs of some sort. i have been lurking around here for quite some time now and almost think its not worth the hassle...but sombody throws up a gem of a tit bit and i think its worth it again. yes i have been to hunter.com.ect and almost anywhere i can find a mention of hunters........sheesh theres lots out there. Thanking you all Shaun P.S i never said i could spell nor punctuate :-) |
