Review of the Hunter 34 by Jamie Nicoll

Year built 1986  
Location of boat Halifax, Nova Scotia  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2001  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Probably as it represents good value for size.  
Gear that's been added Took so much gear off the boat that I gained six inches of waterline  
Structural or complex improvements Replacing cabin sole, replaced motor, still poor after those two.  
The boat's best features Very comfortable to cruise on  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. very tender to sail, plumbing and wiring are poorly done, leaks are plentiful  
Sailing characterisitcs Digs in in a constant wind and performs admirably. Poor downwind handling. Works well as a single handed sailor  
Motoring characterisitcs Yanmar 3YM30 is tremendous with a 3 bladed prop  
Liveability Comfy for a family of 4  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) No experience  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Bought direct from fla and shipped to canada  
Other comments Good value, solid construction. defineable faults
