Review of the Hunter 280 by esedenka

Year built 1997  
Location of boat Baltimore, MD  
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  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2016  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Probably not. Its a good boat, our first sailboat. We now know what we really want, a little more room, more stable sailing  
Gear that's been added Hour meter, DC volt gauge  
Structural or complex improvements No  
The boat's best features Strong Yanmar engine, shallow draft  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Tank gauges failed  
Sailing characterisitcs Tender, Reef main at 15, all the power is in the main. Balances well with 1st reef, with full main and jib the balance isnt great  
Motoring characterisitcs Stong motor, tracks well  
Liveability Weekends are fine but no longer than that  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any)  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any
