A day out...........................

[Solitaire]

on a Hunton 43. I went out to play with Matt's new Hunton earlier in the week. We went down to Yarmouth for a spot of lunch.

Thought I'd post some pix of the day.

The boat at Hamble Point Marina.

It has some very serious stainless steel.

The "must have" wake shot.

At 3,000 RPM it sits very nicely at..............

It made me smile..

and Matt really does love it!

The hull is superb and it grips and turns fantastically.

Lovely boat!

See you kept the covers up! Might have been a tad chilly earlier in the week at 40+ knots.

Nice boat, can't say it'd be my cup of tea though (I like big sidewalks with big bars)

Like the new school boat, David. Very smart. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Smashing boat David / Matt /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

On the list as a dayboat along with Superhawk 43 if we decide to sell SV for a home in the med.

A very nice boat indeed.
But I hope you'll forgive me for pointing out that you'd better not photograph her near a gorgeous F55, if you wish to keep the readers' attention on her!... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Very nice looks about as trick as a DBS!

Jas.

 

[Whitelighter]

Love it, love it, love it.

Now that is a proper boat!

Nah, it just wouldn't suit my cruising grounds, in the damp, damp west of Ireland. ie. no use for the sun-pad, and I like big side-decks so the girliefriend to pop the fenders down/get the ropes ready without me having to worry

A stunning looking boat all the same, wouldn't say no to one if the keys were handed to me /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Don't worry, my reply was just a crap joke about sidewalks and bars, which sounded a bit like a Friday night out, rather than a reference to a boat.

Matt, don't look so nervous: SMILE!

If I owned that boat, I would have a permanent cheesy grin /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yes, he is a PB2 instructor and does most of his instructing with Warsash Sailing club. So you may have seen him around the Hamble. He does not do it full time.

Let's face it those of us that do can't afford a boat like that!! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

The space below is amazing - full double cabin in the bow and stern cabin while "low is a double. There is plenty of headroom in the main cabin and it is superbly finnished. Matt and Kath - particularly Kath, spent a lot of time on the interior design and layout because they do want to "cruise" in it.

I thought so, he was on a Instructors Course I ran for you a couple of years back. Had a gas powered Hunton if I recall and a nice fella.

Wonder what his day job is .
And your right those of us who do teach can only dream of owning a boat like that.
