Darrel, my son talked me into selling the Hunter about 7yrs ago and gitting a Soverel 33. Went from being able to race single handed and stay in the metal to having to have a crew of 9 and staying at the back of the pack, due to no show fair weather sailors. Everyone wanted to go on the race until the weather wasn't perfect or they were marginaly over served on the Friday night befor the race! Sold the Soverel 2 yrs ago and now have a J24 that I love, can be raced with some hope of winning by 2 and have won single handed. Still a budget racer but don't have PVC spin pole!
