Review of the Hunter 146 by Brandon Baswell

Location of boat Traverse City, MI  
The boat is sailed on Lakes  
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 2005  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes.  
Gear that's been added  
Structural or complex improvements  
The boat's best features I still enjoy the eas of sailing in light air. It is still a good looking easy to rig boat. Very comfortable for a small day sailer.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. The tippiness, that others have mentioned also, is a challenge. Difficult for me to sail solo. I need the extra hand and weight.
