Interested in trading your First 285 for a H 34?

[mark_swart]

I am getting into racing and will normally have very little crew, so I am considering trying to trade my 1984 Hunter 34 deep draft for a First 285 wing keel of comparable value. My Hunter is great if you want a fast cruiser with lots of room. We used to be further from the boat and usually stayed on it, however now that we live closeby I'd rather have something a little smaller and easier to run by myself.

I am in the southern Chesapeake, sailing out of Hampton, Va. If nothing else, I'd be really interested in seeing firsthand and or sailing on a 285 locally if someone wouldn't mind?

Thanks
