    Is this the standard "wing keel" for the Hunter 23? I recently acquired this used 1985 Hunter 23 for a very good price (of course that means a lot of TLC required).

    Keel and G/flex and should I worry?

    I'm looking for some insight into what I should realistically expect from G/flex epoxy and keel movement on an old Hunter 25. My 1982 Hunter 25 came with a small keel smile. This spring, I ground it out, torqued the keel bolts (132 ft-lb), and slathered some G/flex epoxy in the gap. At...

    Stern light

    Was the design of the Hunter 23.5 intended to drag the motor when sailing at night? If I raise the motor it blocks the light. This is with a factory motor attached to the factory mount.

    Spinnaker versus asymmetrical

    Hunter 23.5 owner's manual says you can fly a Spinnaker. Wondering if there's more stress on the rigging flying a asymmetrical Spinnaker. No back stay on these boats. So if it can handle a Spinnaker can it handle an asymmetrical Spinnaker?
