Review of the Hunter 216 by Michael Gill

Year built 2006  
Location of boat Sydney Australia  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Day sailing  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 5-6  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2006  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes. It is exactly the boat for our needs.  
Gear that's been added  
Structural or complex improvements  
The boat's best features Simplicity, performance, reliability. She is quick, handles well even in a stiff breeze and is ideal for family day sailing.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. The trailer design could use some rollers, but that said we have not had great difficulty.  
Sailing characterisitcs Fast running, excellent balance. In fact virtually hands free! Reefed tight and flat, she handled an unexpected (30+) gusty evening with ease.  
Motoring characterisitcs  
Liveability  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any)  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any US Yachts (Matt Hayes) in Sydney is an excellent company to deal with. They handled all of our the delivery issues very well and are very responsive to queries.  
Other comments We're happy.
