Story so far

After we had used our Moody 376 a lot during the winter we decided we wanted something a bit bigger and a slightly different layout that would suit us more, as we had decided we would be a bit more sociable.  So we decided to start looking around at various options and then one day we were in Haslar Marina and saw a Hunter Legend 41 for sale and decided to have a look.  As soon as we walked onboard we knew this was the model of boat for us as it had 2 very good size double cabins and a fantastic saloon and galley area.  Although we did not purchase this one, we looked at a few others and ended up buying DIABLITO from a couple who had owned her from new and spared no expense with the extras:

  • Solar panel.
  • Wind generator.
  • Built in diesel generator.
  • Decent Nav suite.
  • AIS transponder.






So, we purchased DIABLITO in April 2017 and we we have used her a lot already including:

  • Bembridge.
  • Yarmouth.
  • Poole (Salterns Marina).
  • Lymington.
  • River Beaulieu.
  • Brighton.
  • Island Harbour Marina (for the Isle of Wight festival).

After 3 previous boats and much looking about we decided to buy something a bit bigger and "shinier", a lovely Hunter Legend 41AC.  This will hopefully be our record of what we have been up to and also where we have been, as well as any issues we experience.
