Review of the Hunter 212 by Sam S. Hill, III

Year built 2000  
Location of boat Corpus Christi, Texas  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Day sailing  
Normal wind strength Press here to select  
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 A forward hatch, A self-furling jib.  
Structural or complex improvements No  
The boat's best features The boat is very stable and forgiving of inexperienced sailors. She sails very close to the wind.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. The rudder has been a constant problem popping up. Also the motor mount is too light. an a bit awkward.  
Sailing characterisitcs Sails well on almost any point of sailing and handles well in seas up to 5'. She is also a very dry little boat.  
Motoring characterisitcs I use a 4 HP long shaft Suzuki with great response.  
Liveability I have no experience  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Excellent  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any I bought from a dealer and I had a good experinece.  
Other comments I intend to stay with the Hunter for the forseable future and when I upgrade I hope to do so in a Hunter.
