I took my first sailing lessons this past summer and I loved it. So of course I am looking to purchase a boat for next summer. I have found a 1978 Hunter 25 that is suppose to be in great shape. However, I have no idea how to determine whether this boat is worth the asking price or if it is a good starter boat. Does anyone have any recommendations (books, web sites etc.) as to how I can learn more about sailboats in general and this boat in particular. We learned to sail on Vangaurd 420s and much of the terminology on Sailnet.com seems to be focused on larger boats and is very new to me.
Any info would be much appreciated, Thanks.
