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.

Friends had an about '82 34, I believe Cherubini, and by about 96, they
had some serious work to do, including structural bulkhead(s). Boat's
still at the marina, but our friends dumped out of the partnership and I
don't see the boat away from the dock much.

Sweet interior, though. Was the only boat under about 40' that we
thought would be a real step up from our Xan.

You may be confusing me with Paul V, the author of cruisenews.net.

We've had Xan for 12-13 seasons now. It's gotten almost boring: head
down Friday afternoon, head out some place, have a great time,
reluctantly head home sometime Sunday. Did 3 week-long trips and the
pattern was essentially: wake up, decide whether to move, move or not,
enjoy the scenery, eat, sleep.

I may be...but i don't Think i am....grin. I Must be suffering from
C.R.A.F.T.*
Was very sure that i had read about your boat quite a while ago and was
imressed by your loyalty to a boat that many people laughed at
(out the other side of there face when you passed them) it seems to be
that way about the hunters as well, over here they have a very good rep.
Mind you, you try and find one in WA (Western Australia).
