Hello,

Last year i bought a Hunter Sonata and i like it a lot.

We race it in the clubraces. Everbody says “that’s a fast little boot” :D

We are at the first place in the overall ranking.

In the weekends when there are no races i sail it whit my wife en 2 children.

Upwind we sail max. 5.6 knots. Downwind we sail 6.3 knots. Is this a normal speed or is it possible to go much faster ?

Can i find a speed-diagram on the internet ?

Tips are welcome.

Erik.
