Review of the Hunter 27_75-84 by Norm Hildreth

Year built 1976  
Location of boat Cape Cod Bay  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 16-22 knots  
Average size of crew solo  
Liveaboard?  
Owner bought the boat in 1994  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes  
Gear that's been added GPS, furler, Stern Rail, holding tank for toilet,new forward hatch,  
Structural or complex improvements Replaced forward hatch  
The boat's best features Fairly fast, easy to handle single handed  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Forward hatch too weak, 8 hp Yanmar too small, it needs at least a 12 hp engine  
Sailing characterisitcs Sails well at 15 to 20 degrees heel, points ok  
Motoring characterisitcs Not good when windy or moderate waves, it bogs down when motoring into the wind and waves sometimes comes to a standstill with no way on.  
Liveability good for two or three a pinch for four unless your real friendly.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) They provided good information  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any N/A
