Great video! Have you ever looked at or reviewed the Hunter 49?

As a retiree, I just want to travel all over, eating exotic food, drinking exotic alcohol, and puffing on my cigars. No chance my family will come with me or for me to go solo. I will need a captain and a hand and a lot more money than I have available. I'm a big guy. 6'2" and 240 pounds. I'll put up with a lot of small spaces, but a tiny bathroom and wet head is always going to be a deal breaker.

We looked at a Morgan Out Island a couple of years back. We had lusted after one for years until we went inside one for the first time. My wife is 5'10" and I am 6'1" and 220 lbs. Loved the decks and cockpit, but instantly upon descent into the saloon, we both knew the space was too small for our bodies. We later bought a Bruce Roberts Offshore 44 and are quite happy with its interior volume.
Thanks for your thoughtful and thorough reviews!

I was just about yelling at the screen begging you to be quiet. I have this in the top 5 boats for consideration of purchase. Wish you had waited one more year before putting this out. I don't need the competition for purchase!!!! Nice job as always!

As a US Sailing instructor in the San Francisco area ( an area well known for being quite challenging, in the bay and especially offshore, for years we taught on Hunter yachts. We really gave those boats a work out. Sailing outside the Golden Gate can be very rough. Strong winds, steep large seas, fog, heavy shipping, cold water etc. This is not like Fl or the keys/Bahamas. Not that that area can’t be nasty too. It’s just a lot less common. How did the Hunters do? Quite well actually. And the Yanmars were very good too. Mike Harker sailed a Hunter 46 and later a 49 around the world singe handed, in 11 months. Often breaking 200 mile days. Oh, did I mention that he was a paraplegic. Yeah, hunters can cruise.

We started in a ‘86 Hunter and never had a complaint. Thanks for this review.

oh, how I miss "cajun moon", my '84 out island 416!!! big, fat, heavy and dependable! you could drop a nuke on it and it would sail through. Lived on her for years off and on…from miami beach, bahamas, key west, new orleans and finally pensacola. Had to sell and move on in life (to flying), but I miss her every day. great memories of this wonderful cruiser. the best!

I liked your review talking about both the Morgans and the Hunters. I have a friend who has owned both a Morgan 41 and a Morgan 51 (one of the boats in your video appears to be the 51 – the one with 13 portlights per side). I have had my 1973 Gulfstar 41 Center Cockpit Ketch since 1995. It is a very basic boat with very simple and reliable systems. I have read about families living aboard this exact boat for years, and I think it would be a good platform for that. I have done several offshore passages single handed from Massachusetts to the Dry Tortugas in my boat. One thing I would like to point out about this boat…about the worst conditions I have experienced were 40+ knot winds and about 8 foot seas…though I had practiced heaving-to in the past I had never needed to do it in real conditions until those conditions occurred during an offshore trip in 2017. The mizzen on this boat seems huge, and with no reef points I was expecting it to be too powerful when hove-to. I was pleasantly surprised that sailing only under a partially rolled up Genoa and the mizzen I could go from sailing to hove-to in about 30 seconds without leaving the helm. Roll up the headsail, sheet in the mizzen as tight as I could, put the helm hard over and lock it in place…and that boat just sat like a duck with the keel leaving disturbed water that just sucked almost all the energy out of any approaching waves. I would be interested to see you review the mid to late 70's Gulfstars.

The best boat to cross any ocean is a well maintained boat with a competent crew.
