We loaded up the Hunter 170 today to see how she would sail when loaded down with camping gear in preparation for next weekend’s trip to the Apostle Islands.
My wife is still a bit nervous, but feeling much more confident after today. Please ignore the watering can. She wanted to put a bit more weight onboard just in case.
How'd she handle?
Slow and doggy, but I’m thinking thats more to do with the wind the the gear. We only had about 3 kts. Its going to be more like 6 with gusts up to 15 so it should be a bit better providing we don’t get stuck in the 28kt gusts predicted for Sunday afternoon.
