Hi Glenn - it is greatly appreciated that you are taking the time to talk with the Hunterowners - thank you. We absolutely love our 2005 H41 and sail about 1500 miles a year on weekends and a longer summer trip in New England. One question I do have is about the rudder post. When I look at the manufacturing videos on the Huntermarine site, they show a rudder post reinforcement structure that surrounds the post. I do not have the structure that is shown that would support the rudder post - should I?.
