During my long and rather exhaustive search for a sailboat last winter and spring, I initially ignored Hunter based on my knowledge of their past and concerns about their quality. However, wanting to be thorough in my research, I did eventually looked at their current offerings and the more I saw and learned, the more I liked.
One of the prime lessons I have learned over the years in building and operating a one-man multi-million-dollar business is that a company's history and past performance show only what they have done. While inferences can be made from their past, this history does not show what the company is now doing. We have all seen products turn from top-of-the-line to low quality, often with a rather rapid decline. Many of us, however, seem to deny that the change in quality can also be in the opposite direction. We need to look at current performance, not at stale data.
A decade ago, who would have dreamed that Volkswagen would be building Rolls Royce and Bently?
Things happen.
