Review of the Hunter 25 by Andrew Hemingway

Year built 1982  
Location of boat Long Island  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in this  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? I would actually buy the 1980 27' Hunter. There is a world of difference.  
Gear that's been added just starting...ie genoa and boomvang whisker pole  
Structural or complex improvements no  
The boat's best features figuring all that out. Positive thus far  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc.  
Sailing characterisitcs  
Motoring characterisitcs very hard to get my engine up after going under sail  
Liveability  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) n/a  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any n/a  
Other comments if I have a genoa made what would the square footage/demensions of that genoa(150). I would like to get a deck sweeper.
