Navicula 430 Hunter Toronto
I am done with my hunter sail boat for this year........we rocked this boat every weekend around lake ontario.....it is a dream come true for me.....my wife on the other hand doesnt like the 7.5 knots or 8.5 of speed.....anything over 6 and she starts looking at me with that women look...
we have done alot of recipricals this year and have been treated so nice at every club....it truley is a nice lifestyle.......

I dont think I burned a tank of fuel and we havent even gone through a tank of propane...(and we use the stove alot).......I had nothing break....but I am always spending money on up grades........I am 52 and wondering why it took me so long to find this great hobbie

Well this post certainly wasn't what I expected from the headline. Great to hear you're living a good life. Just one suggestion, though. If going slower helps your wife enjoy sailing, go slow!

Great post. Thanks for sharing.

Navicula, I know what you mean from all angles of your post :). I think I've seen your boat on the water. Cheers

Hunter 42 Sydney
I also was expecting a very different tone to this thread!!

Actually- the thing that has blown me away about my H42 is the social aspect- I have never, in my life made more meaningful friendships than I have with our boat and particularly , on our marina. It certainly seems like boat people have a lot in common in many ways in spite of hugely diverse careers and backgrounds- I also wish I had been able to get into this much earlier- but certainly loving it!

and as a side note- also REALLY glad we chose a Hunter- I doubt any other manufacturer would be as giving of customer support on a 20 year old vessel!
