Review of the Hunter 430 by van den Toorn, Wim

Year built 1995  
Location of boat Sopers Hole, BVI  
The boat is sailed on Open ocean  
How the boat is used Multi-week coastal cruising  
Normal wind strength 16-22 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard?  
Owner bought the boat in 1995  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? certainly; much comfort, not too fast but reliable; airy; moves nicely with the seas.  
Gear that's been added not yet, but after the Sunsail ownership obligations I will add auto pilot, Autoflug life boat, two more batteries, bigger altenator, wind generator
