    Hunter Medina rigging

    Sorry I no longer have a copy of the handbook for the medina , It went when I sold the medina and moved to a ranger 245. But I think I might have given the Hunter Association a copy , the Hunter association is quite active and would be well worth joining they have some good archive material...

    Nasa Marine Clipper Wireless Wind System - ?? Any good ?

    My one worked well for three years, the mast came down each winter and the indicator taken home then the cups seized up. I still get wind direction but no wind speed, the mast has remained up the last two winters so nothing has been done to it.

    A sewing question

    Could you use a thinner foam for the quilting, I normally use foam about 10mm thick and also a layer of calico underneath the foam to stop the stiches pulling through the foam. Another option might be to sew the cover in sections joining it on the quilting lines where it will not be seen

    Hunter Medina vs Swift 18 et al

    The medina has built in ballast as well as the keel so no problem leaving the keel up when moored. The keel slides up and down in the case, no pivot, and you can lock the keel down if you wish.

    Thermal cooker

    Thanks for all the replies. We only have two gas rings and a grill on board so not a lot of room to cook, the thermal cooker would give more options . My thoughts are to get the 3 litre model as there is rarely more than two of us on board at any time. John
