I would have felt it was a reflection more on the owners ability, rather
than the boats.
BTW, I've sailed into docks many times and talked to 'sailors' who were
waiting for the wind to 'calm down a bit'.

he, who had owned the boat for some time, felt doing so under those
conditions
was unsafe. I accepted his judgement.

What does that have to do with the boat? there are C&C owners who won't
sail more than 5 miles from their slip, that doesn't mean the boat is
bad.

I looked at a early 80's Hunter 27

I looked at one once a long time ago, but dropped the idea when I
learned
the
owner wouldn't sail the boat in 20 knots.
