Welcome. I had a friend who did that two years ago: Catalina 34 Mk II to a nice Ranger Tug, and regretted it almost immediately. Started looking for another C34 Mk II, don't know if he's found one, they're kinda rare - people who have them usually keep them, except for my friend! I've had my Mk I since 1998! She was 12 years old when I found her.

Welcome back.

Oh, and please note while this is a great forum, you WILL find much more Hunter related material at https://sbo.sailboatowners.com/recent-fx.php, which is also a Hunter Owners Group.

I peruse multiple boating forums, and learn different things from different ones, all good.

Welcome aboard, Brad!

Anywhere near TO? There are a bunch of us (Forum Members) who are on Lake Ontario's North Shore.

Congrats on your H26. I hear they're great all-around sailers.

Warmly,
LittleWing77

Thanks! There's nobody like Hendrix. Thornbury, eh? Currently, I'm spending 3 days a week in Midland...

Okay, so going from East to West, here is the Lake Ontario gang: Hamburgerking (Dave) - out near Kingston and, like you, a Hunter owner (formerly) and on the lookout for his next one; AnnCognito is in Merritville with her lovely little Grampian 26; Danstanford is at Coburg Yacht Club with his hot-$hit J88; I'm out of Aquatic Park Sailing Club in Toronto (I sail other people's boats); Emoyeni is Toronto - with a lovely C&C 29 he just refurbished; astokel is at Outer Harbour Marina with the second Grampian 26 of the group; Vasco is out of Ashbridges Bay but he doesn't seem to post much anymore; Lake-Effect is Etobicoke or Mimico Yacht Club - I think he told me he has a daysailer, but I can't remember which; and boatpoker (Wallace) is a surveyor out of PCYC who has a refurbished fantail cabin cruiser that he and Sharon did a total refit on a few years ago. His website is www.pcmarinesurveys.com if you want to have a look. Bloody gorgeous.

I'm sure I'm forgetting somebody, but those are the current and (mostly active) Lake Ontario Forum Members.

Emoyeni just got back from a charter in the BVIs - begging the question... how are the REST of us going to get through the Winter I'd like to know??? Although I did just get a notice that the Toronto International Boat Show is a go this Winter. Yipee!
