Hi all,
We bought a 2001 hunter 460 last summer. Love it, been using it a tone. Since we have had it I have always checked out others running rigging modifications for there neeeds. We put new elvstrom sails on the begining of this season and sized up from jib to a genoa 120 (as big as we could go). Love it! With the current car track and block setup it feels like I cant maximize the sail. They are tigher to the center of the boat in front of dogger. Like othe boats there are more locations to mount additional blocks, cars, tracks.

Has anyone with a hunter 460 466 added more to their boat to optimize sail power and is so where and how.

Thanks

What sail material did you install?

Replaced my Dacron sails with off-shore cruising laminate sails, which offered very good performance. The only other option would be to install partial vertical batten mainsail, which I installed on my 386 for more sail area.

Run an asymmetrical spinnaker or gennaker.
