The Hunter 28.5 can be a great value if purchased at the right price. Fairly
modern design, inboard diesel, pressure water, stand up headroom and they sail
pretty well. I've seen them advertised for $15k. I would think they would
make a nice small inexpensive to operate cruiser for semi protected waters like
the Chesapeake Bay. They sailed good enough for them to be chosen for the
Liberty Cup one year.

This sort of sums up my expectations for this boat -- if I buy it. Thanks to
all of you for your insights into this model boat.
