Review of the Hunter 29.5 by John

Year built 1980  
Location of boat duluth  
The boat is sailed on The Great Lakes  
How the boat is used Day sailing  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2001  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? definatly. It,s the perfect boat. Actually far more capable a boat than I am a sailor.  
Gear that's been added would like to add front furlor  
Structural or complex improvements new cutlass bearing stress cracks  
The boat's best features Its all good...  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. new cutlass bearing stress cracks mabey replace turn buckle  
Sailing characterisitcs very comfortable. Not wiked fast but i,m not good.  
Motoring characterisitcs clacckety clack, sounds like worn valves in a car. Is this what it's suposed to sound like? Not a speed boat but it works good so far.  
Liveability Id love to live on it.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any)
