@mkjhartmann this boat could be sailed single handed if rigged properly. The toughest thing is hoisting the main as it's just such a tall thing. The Hunter 45 is such a wide and stable platform that it's pretty easy to deal securing and covering sails yourself. Plus it tracks so well that you can leave the helm for a while even without a autopilot. We have found our Hunter Legend 45 is an amazing boat for the money.
Filmed in the Portland area of the river. She sails BEAUTIFULLY! Very stable handling in weather, even with 30 degrees of heel. Really allows you to enjoy the excitement of sailing at 8-9 kts.
30-40 knots - what's that, about 5?

Great video. Thanks for sharing. And good music selection too!
If my business sells I want to buy one of the Hunter 45s. There are a couple for sale at good prices.
Do you think this boat can be sailed single handed if rigged properly?
