Sails & Rigging

Summer Wind is a very easy boat to sail with just two of us aboard. We have seen one owner, single-hand his Hunter 42 without any problems.

The main sail is full batten and has two reefing points. The 135% Genoa head sail has Sunbrella UV cloth along the leech and is installed on a roller furling. Both sails were removed from the boat, taken to a sail loft and re-stitched in 2002.

The Hunter 42 was available with a factory optional inner stay to make a cutter rig. A previous owner added this factory kit. The cable is stowed on the front of the mast and has it's own cable tension lever. The storm sail for this rig has never been out of the bag.
