I don't know if this has been bought up yet, as I skipped a few posts ( sorry ) but my father inlaw just got a 45'CC and yes the chainplates are massive, I assumed it had lot to do with the swept spar/No backstay rigging it has, is this correct

DawnDreamer...just noticed that Cruising World "appointed" the Benteau 49 as "Large Production Cruising Boat of the Year" ....picking it over the Hunter 49.
Guess it wasn't Hunter's turn in that category this year.

Ok, I realize I may be a little late to the plate with this one. DD, yes there have been many "advances" in design over the past 30 years, but that doesn't mean anything. The biggest advance has been creature comforts below. Unfortunatly your Corian countertops do nothing to aid a boats sea-worthiness. I'm not saying it is a bad boat, just that if you want people to change their opinions of Hunter, you need to come up with something better than counter-tops and CAD design. I think it is safe to say that ALL boats today are CAD designed regardless of production style. I pass the Palmer Johnson building every weekend during the summer. They are "hand build" and I guarantee you they aren't "banging away" with anything to make their parts fit either.
