    2021.04 Blue banner stripe

    The 4-1/4"-wide banner stripe is a fixture of 1970s race yachts and deemed essential for Diana (so much that the 'Hunter by Cherubini' sticker was expressly designed to fit inside the stripe). Showing Diana with fine-line tape delineating the stripe and 'curtain' of paper to guard against drips.

    2021.0514 Diana's name

    Diana's name graphic, as designed by JC2, realized by Night Owl Graphics of Croydon PA. Pic is confusing as neighbor's Chapparal motor boat's arch appears directly beyond! Showing green-painted plywood 'winter cover' replacing foredeck hatch. No; pic is not squashed; the boat really is this sleek!

    2021.0513 U-bolt angle

    showing preferred angle for having 5/16" or 8-mm stainless-steel Wichard/West Marine U-bolts bent for installation through factory toerail for use as chainplates for Hunter 25. Copy this; it works great.

  13. CAND masthead tricolor light

    CAND masthead tricolor light

    Custom two-bulb masthead light assembly by JC2. No-one makes an LED tricolor light for smaller boats; yet this is even more vital on a smaller boat than on a 35- or 40-footer. Red/green/white nav light below all-round anchor light (not the reverse, which makes no sense).

    2021.0421 Diana, final paint

    After looking far and wide (and offering $100/day) for anyone to help, I said 'shove it' to everyone and applied the Brightside (at best a two-person job) myself. Good enough; and DONE. - JC2
