The Hunter is clearly a sheltered water boat.Certainly not a Blue Water cruiser.They are lightly built and glued together not made for a maritime environment.Unfortunately there are people who have no idea of boat construction or seaworthyness.Then there are those who are stupid drunk and could not safely operate a barstool.Now put the stupid drunk at the helm of a unseaworthy boat and watch the fun.I have heard it said that the gods protect the stupid and the drunk--well he walked away!
