Review of the Hunter 35.5 by Hugh Thompson

The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water

Normal wind strength Press here to select  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2005  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes  
Gear that's been added Bimini, GPS, Reverse Cycle AC.  
Structural or complex improvements None  
The boat's best features Ease of sailing, fast, backs easily, interior space.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. I would mirror the comment that somebody made about the Hood roller furler being in the anchor locker. Very difficult to get to. Wish it had another halyard for a spinnaker.  
Sailing characterisitcs Probably the fastest sailboat in my marina. Very forgiving. Downwind performance could be better but I only have the standard sail package.  
Motoring characterisitcs Can hit 6.5-7 knots without pushing the engine. It backs fairly well and the Yanmar diesel is very frugal with fuel.  
Liveability Great for one couple, two couples would have to be very close friends.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any)  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any
