Review of the Hunter 27_75-84 by Paul

Year built 1984  
Location of boat Jersey City  
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 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 1994  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? No, because it is too limited. However it served us well with about 50 daysails per season  
Gear that's been added Radio CD Player, Wind Inst, depth gauge, speed indicator and GPS 150 Roller Furled jib  
Structural or complex improvements Not Necessary  
The boat's best features Westerbeke engine, size of cockpit,  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Water constantly in bildge. Bildge not deep enough  
Sailing characterisitcs Overall pretty good except does not point as well as I would like. No travelor.  
Motoring characterisitcs Excellent. Will run all day with little fuel usuage.  
Liveability hsrdly
