Ahoy fellow sailors Newby sailor here about to open up a can of worms.
Due to a cancer scare where I thought I might die but not to worry I’m healthy
I’m selling everything retiring and setting sail for roughly 10 years or more.lifelong dream.
I’m 54 so I figured I have a few years left.
Due to budget etc I should be able to get a Hunter 450,455, 460 or 466 for my voyage.
This seems to be a good sweet spot for me and a future girlfriend/1st mate to have space on and handle.
I’ve looked at a lot of boat brands(I currently have a 84 H31).
So 2 questions for people with Hunters!!
Centre cockpit vs aft cockpit having a hard time deciding, pros cons etc
Also info about how your boat has weathered coped with long/short passages?
Also any other tips would be useful.
Opening the floodgates lol.
thanks in advance
