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 much total weight in gear is that? Doesn’t look too bad
I’m estimating around 250, but I could be off. There’s about 5 gallons of gas and a small 5hp outboard that’s making up the bulk of that weight missing from this picture.
