Review of the Hunter 28 by Anthony Kearney

Year built 1990  
Location of boat Mamoroneck, NY  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Day sailing  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 6  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 1992  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes, the boat has been great for solo sailing. I do wish that I had used my 150 genoa sooner and parked the standard 110 jib years ago. With the 110, I was always overpowered by 15 knots of wind. The boat was not balanced, and I either had to trim the main , a pain in the ass, when you are alone or roller furl the jib. Lots of times I just sailed with the jib. On a whim, I swtched this past season to a 150 genoa which the previous owner had made for the boat, and sailing has been pure pleasure. The boat is balanced in all sorts of wind conditions and is very comfortable!  
Gear that's been added no  
Structural or complex improvements no  
The boat's best features Solo sailing equipped  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. See above comments on sail size.
