I just rescued a badly neglected 2006 Hunter 170. According to the dock master it had only been sailed about 3 times in two years. Can't see any cracks and the Honda engine even started on the second try. The sails had never been stowed or covered and of course are shot. I searched the web for new sails (main & jib). Most are in the $1200 range except for soundboatworks.com which are about $700. Has anyone had experience buying new sails for the 170? Recommendations? I don't need high end high performance sails, just fun day sailing.
P.S. From the number of posts about cracking I'm now having second thoughts about the ACP Hunters. Is this a pervasive problem or just the result of abusive use?
