It\'s a Mystery

Don't know how many of you have been following the development of the Hunter Mystery.

Apparently it will be at E.Court. I shall be in the queue to poke and prod.

Do you think it will sell?

Bet it has rudder problems, but certainly 'classic' lines.

Loved it !

Should go like the clappers !

Pretty light still for the length. Luverly overhangs.

Could be the best compromise yet re looks/speed/accommodation/seakeeping.

Best of luck to Hunter's for having the balls to try something different in the current market.

If ERNIE is ever good to me, I might just take a look. One of my neighbours build a Hunter kit a couple of years ago, and I liked the look of it.

Still fancy a Rustler 36 though, but I still need ERNIE's help !

Can't see it selling many. It's certainly pretty enough if you like "traditional" lines and it'll attract the odd sailor , who likes the idea of that sort of boat , but it won't appeal to the mass market which of course it isn't designed to do. If production gets to 3 figures , it'll have done well.

I hope you don't think Ken & I are "odd"

A bit eccentric maybe, but never odd ! !

Re: It\'s a Mystery

I love the concept and I'm glad that someone has the courage to try to make it work - good luck to them.

In terms of accommodation it seems very limited, no more than my 32' boat which in turn is much smaller than many modern 29'ers.

If I were in the market for a new boat, I would certainly consider one, but it would have to be very good to be better value than (say) a Rustler 36.
