H stands for heel and/or head up. No instructor I know thinks they're worth
much. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Maxprop" wrote in message ink.net... "Capt. Rob" wrote in message oups.com... Captained a sea trial of a H43 today. What a bear of a boat! The thing is quite difficult to handle compared to my quick 35s5, but winds were near perfect and she actually rolled along nicely once I had her trimmed right. The new owner plans to sail her to Florida, then Jamaica next season. http://members.aol.com/bobsprit/images/huntertrial.jpg Doesn't look like much wind. Is that one of those "rough" days? g Max |

Were you sitting on the port rail and someone else took the pic? |

I've been on several large Hunters in the SF bay with wind speeds over 20
kts. They round up like crazy and don't hold a course well. They were impossible to trim well. Every single instructor who teaches on them has only negative things to say. Also, the heel in the picture isn't that much. Must not have been a good breeze... no white caps, no spray. Interestingly, Rob contributed not one item when there was a flurry of ASA questions. I guess he knows a lot about boats and sailing. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Gilligan" wrote in message news ![]() "Capt. Rob" wrote in message ups.com... Doesn't look like much wind.

Yeah, let's keep it going like that. SBV |

I chartered a Hunter passage 42 probably a late 90's model. Took it outside the Sea of Abaco to the open atlantic one day when the wind was up pretty good. Handled like a dream. Very good balance. I was impressed I expected much less. Handled, in my opinion, much better than the later Beneteaus I've raced on for the last two seasons. A 311 and a 343. I'll admit to not being on either of them long enough to learn to properly trim to the weather and they were new to the owner also, but they seemed much less forgiving.

From the picture, I would say "sea" trial was a misnomer. More like a LIS trial. Frank Interestingly, Rob contributed not one item when there was a flurry of ASA questions.

I'm not familiar with the HP 42. I had a H42 out the Gate a month or so ago.
Fortunately, it was a very mild day, but she still heeled over like we were beating through 20 kts on other boats. I found her to be very sensitive to wind gusts, given the size of the boat. The interior looked great, except when you took a closer look and found cracks in the bulkhead due to flexing, apparently. This was a much newer boat than late 90s. Not certain, but I believe it was a 2001 or 2002. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Frank Boettcher" wrote in message ... On Tue, 26 Sep 2006 08:55:21 -0700, "Capt.

That's the same boat you have pictures of on your list of pictures. And from way back in October 2005. Did the sea trial take almost a year? Hee hee! People look here http://members.aol.com/bobsprit/images/ You'll see other "hunter" pictures of the same boat from last year. Duh! Delete Capt. Rob's posts. They're all made up. He's just yanking your chain..... Cheers, Ellen |

But i've seen boats sit around here for years untouched, then someone buys them. Rob would never spin a tell, would he? Some dumbass bought it and Rob was surveying her making sure nothing's go to break, you can tell he's pushing it to the limit with wicked airport winds, don't let that false looking sea state in his fine photos fool you Ellen, LIS is sheltered and you can have a raging storm and just the slightest chopp. He was shaken her down, an manly mans job.
