Normal wind strength Press here to select  
Average size of crew  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 1995  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Probably  
Gear that's been added  
Structural or complex improvements Boat suffered steering post damage after grounding. The repair was made satisfactorily  
The boat's best features Comfort,sailability, seaworthiness  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. The outboard shields of the opening ports in center cabin [portside]have broken off in pieces and are unsightly.Bilges never pump dry, up to 1 inch.  
Sailing characterisitcs Weather helm and balance most satisfactory. sails well with single reef and full 120 genoa. Points probably 50 degrees close hauled.  
Motoring characterisitcs Strong tendency to port; astern not too bad, considering  
Liveability n/a  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) good  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any  
Other comments Not my Hunter; I don't like the design of the current models, too modern, not classic.e.g., although only 20 ft. I love the lines of the Pacific Crelock "Flicka"
