Structural or complex improvements No  
The boat's best features The amount of space and innovation - the Cabin is large and very comfortable - the cockpit also and the arch make it very safeGenerally the boat is very comfortable and sails well in all conditions  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. No problems to date other than the windlass needs slight modification to stop the chain dropping off when lowering the anchor.  
Sailing characterisitcs Excellent in all conditions - go's like a dream  
Motoring characterisitcs Very good both ahead and astern - goes just where you want it to  
Liveability We sail generally with 2 adults and a baby and occasionally 2 additinal children - the space and comfort is excellent - plenty of storage with room to spare  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Have not so can't comment  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Bought through Opal Marine in the UK - They have been just great with everything - delivery on time - handover good - just great to deal with - 10/10.
