Hello and happy December 29th 2019.
I bought my 1997 Hunter 376 5+ years ago. A few mods and forum supported repairs have improved her along the way.
The only performance mod was the addition of a telescoping whisker pole, mast track and car, for sailing downwind. This was a GREAT addition to the boat.
I still only have the jib and wonder if there is value in adding a Genoa for light to medium wind conditions when sailing upwind or reaching?
Roughly 30% of my sailing is single handed. Another 30% is with a marginally knowledgeable crew. Therefore I am going to avoid a spinnaker or any sail that requires skilled crew.
So. Suggestions?
Also, is there logic in installing toe rails or fixed locations for blocks for a larger headsail?
My next question will be about mounting winches on the coaming on the 1997 model.
Many thanks.
Fair winds!
Tim
