Hi guys bought an 1981 Cherubini Hunter cheap.
Not all that well maintained, used as a live aboard but got a great deal.
My last boat 25 years ago was a small 21" day sailer that I ran without any knowledge
Not that I ever learned much. Sails up sails down OOPS was about it
I picked up this 36" and was to sail it home from PA to Hudson River NY
Hired a Captain to get her home as the ocean route up Jersey shore had me a little bit worried.
So here we go down the Delaware river, just into the bay we hear a noise and start loosing rpms on the engine!
Winds change to a head wind weather and tide rolls in and we are runniing at two knots to a safe harbor.
Spray breaking the bow got drenched
(Glad I ordered a dodger when II get home to put on -- lol)
The throttle cable was loose and would vibrate back and lower rpms.
6' swells 17mph headwinds what a trip!
Great captain!
Captain Chris, calm and cool found safe harbor kept the boatt under control and me out of panic.
The ocean with *' 8' swells and light wind 10 mph gusts to 15 showed me how to "work the Sea" thanks.
Had the jib 1/3 and power sailed, had fun.
Almost shhiit my pants with the occasional Big swell but quite under control, calm and cool.
Found port befor weather rolled in.
Tucked in for the nighy
