Hunter 31 Polars

[Robert DeJong]

I am interested if there is a set of polars available on the Hunter 31. I have a deep draft model that I will be racing on the Chesapeake Bay this year. Also any other hints would be appreciated, such as adding a Backstay adjuster, or rigging changes.

Bob, I have a 31' and have raced it a lot no Polars. If you have a good set of sails, folding prop and clean bottom the boat goes real good. I have as little prebend as possible and the mast pulled forward. Points at 35to40 degress apparent. I say screw the polars sail fast and don't over trim. If you sail the polars you will never do any better than them. Need more help call or E Mail Rod 616-455-6143 in the office @ 6:30am Or rod_leonard@msn.com
