Review of the Hunter 29.5 by Vivian Grasse

Year built 1994  
Location of boat Pueblo, Colorado  
The boat is sailed on Lakes  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 16-22 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2002  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes  
Gear that's been added Not yet. Just cockpit cushions and wheel cover. Want to get a bimini, but can't find one we like.  
Structural or complex improvements Replacing holding tank for head & all connecting hoses.  
The boat's best features Cockpit and ease of sailing, oh... and transom with ladder.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. The head - Leaking tank & hoses. Wish original owner would've been gracious enough to inform us about its condition.  
Sailing characterisitcs Handles well in high winds. Sails with ease.  
Motoring characterisitcs It motors like it should, although we haven't figured out reversing into dock space. Hard to back it into dock.  
Liveability Very liveable on the weekends for 2.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Good.  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Good.  
Other comments We love it.
