Cruising with a Hunter Passage 42?

[CruisingDream]

Hi everyone,
My girlfriend and I are planning to go cruising in two years. We would really love to do this with a Hunter Passage 42. We’ve been reading about different experiences with what we think is an amazing boat. Are there any owners or experienced sailors here who can reassure us about pursuing this dream with the Hunter Passage 42?

Thanks in advance!
Greetings from the Netherlands.

Welcome to the forum!

Do a search on this site for postings by "Sequitur". He and his wife sailed from Vancouver to FL, rounding Cape Horn, in a Hunter 49 (I know you said Hunter 42). Their blogs are still at Leaving Sequitur

Nice boat! The biggest limiting factors when cruising are storage space and tank capacity for water and fuel. Both of which can be insignificant or problematic depending on your cruising range but neither are insurmountable.

The Leaving Sequitur thread is an excellent blog of what can be done cruising wise on a production boat. Very adventurous people. Well worth reading.

Must add: electrical power to these must haves...
