Review of the Hunter 18.5 by Richard Koch

Year built 1988  
Location of boat New Mexico  
The boat is sailed on Lakes  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength less than 10 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? Yes  
Gear that's been added Added battery, lights, fuse panel.  
Structural or complex improvements No  
The boat's best features Fixed keel and lots of room inside cabin.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. I've had trouble tuning the B  
Sailing characterisitcs Quick in light air with the fully battened, fully roached main. Jib is too small to be much use for power.  
Motoring characterisitcs Motor vibration causes lazarette locker hatch and pop-up cabin hatch to rattle.  
Liveability Not liveable. Weekend camping for 2 close friends is great on beautiful northern New Mexico lakes.
