hunter 34
go to http://www.image-ination.com/sailcalc.html and you'll see the motion comfort is low compared to similar sized boats and the roll over ratio isn't the best. But then there are J-Boats with even lower comfort/capsize ratios that are taken offshore with great success. True, the H34 is no full keel heavy displacement boat, but it's also faster in many situations and has it's own strengths. There are some folks who have no problem with the idea of taking a J30 on a long voyage...and others who wouldn't think of it in anything less than an Alberg 30. Two very different boats and the J is certainly missing the numbers associated with long range cruising. In the end it's up to the sailor. Robert 35s5 NY |
