To buy or not?
Question for all. Looking at two boats other than size they seem to be at opposite ends of the spectrum of boats One a 27 Hunter 1983 and the other a 27 1986 compac the hunter is shoal draft and the compac is full keel draft 3''6". Going to use it as weekend sailor on the bay around middle penninsula virgina. Was construction of cheribinni hunters suitable for this and how does the glass stack up againest the other. The compac on the other hand sure is a neat little pocket cruiser that is reputed to be blue water capable. I see on this forum the disadvantage of full keels in light winds and inability to go to wind. Is the glass and construction that much better to justify the cost difference and (tounge in cheek)performance thanks to all in advance. KD
