to build on Rick's response....
The newer, bigger Hunter's are designed to be mainsail driven, not jib driven like the older boats. That is one of the reasons they are only spec'd with a 110 jib. Hence, the fractional rig with the oversized/full roach main with reefing, and more beam. This results in less heeling, but better performance with more boat at the waterline. Our H410 with her 110 jib (and high freeboard, full dodger/bimini windage, fully outfitted and a liveaboard) passes everything in sight, including our neighbor's Beneteau 411 with a furling main, 150 furling genoa, no canvas and almost no additional equipment or systems./cs/v Twilight
