Review of the Hunter 27_75-84 by chris

Year built 1982  
Location of boat san francisco bay  
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 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2004  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? absolutely!  
Gear that's been added self tending jib with jib sheet and downhaul led aft  
Structural or complex improvements none needed  
The boat's best features this boat is well laid out, heartily built, easy to sail, and just plain fun  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. would be nice if it had a deeper bilge.  
Sailing characterisitcs this boat sails very well in stiff winds, handles 20 knots and asks for more!  
Motoring characterisitcs 1 lung yanmar really has only enough gusto for leaving and returning to the slip, but it has been extremely reliable and fuel efficient  
Liveability we only use it for day sailing but is so roomy inside would be very comfortable for weekending or short cruising trips  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) have not needed to deal directly with Hunter. Any time I needed info about the boat or repairs I logged onto hunterowners.com and everyone has been extremely helpful in answering my questions  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any purchased from a private party  
Other comments We previously owned a catalina 22 and the quality and design of this Hunter far exceed Catalina
