Sailing characterisitcs Imported this boat from Florida, to Brisbane Australia. Sailed the boat from Brisbane to sydney (1100 km) over 4 days coastal sailing. The boat handled well in 20-30 knots (2 reefs in the main). Very strong and stable boat. Average speed 7.5 knots.  
Motoring characterisitcs Motor is under powered but very economical. In big swell/waves to forward motion is possible. Must use the main sail to help the engine.  
Liveability Weekends and small costal trips  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any)  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any  
Other comments Very strong boat that took a real beating down the NSW and QLD coast.
