I don't want to start a long debate here, but this is beginning tio sound like the WoodenBoat forum, where they argue about whether the use of epoxy in a cold-molded boat disqualifies the boat from being "wooden." Sure most Hunters are ugly, but some people actually sail them and think they're OK and get more sailing us out of them than folks with claissier boats. We may prefer our Ariels, Commanders and (and, for me), Sabres, but just remember, to the WoodenBoat folks, they're trash, too. All a matter of perspective, isn't it?

Further deponent sayeth not.
