Review of the Hunter 26 by Bill Haitz

Year built 1995  
Location of boat Brookville Lake In.  
The boat is sailed on Lakes  
How the boat is used Day sailing  
Normal wind strength less than 10 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2000  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? yes  
Gear that's been added no  
Structural or complex improvements no  
The boat's best features Easy to sail (I am short on experience)  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. water system - needs redesigned  
Sailing characterisitcs have only sailed in light air  
Motoring characterisitcs pleasent  
Liveability for two people it will be ok, but more than two or three it will become crowded  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Only at the Chicago Show - very plesant  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any very helpful - good  
Other comments Probably a little early - since we only bought our boat in November 2000
