I'm interested in hearing some 'off shore experiences' from people that have used or sailed the hunter 27 cherubini 'class'. I bought a 1978 h27 last year, and really love this boat. With some minor modifications and maybe two or three more years of experience, I would love to start my trip from Olympia, Wa.......sail down to San Diego.......then over to Hilo, Hawaii. It would be great to hear from some other local sailboat owners that may be from the 'West Coast area', that would be interested in doing the same thing. Maybe make plans for a group of sailboat owners to make the passage together. I realize a trip like this takes alot of preparation, planning and hands on practice. Looking forward to hearing some comments......for those who want to, your welcome to e-mail me..... donhuber1953@hotmail.com
