Welcome Aboard Miigwaanhs "Little Wing"

Little Wing is a Hunter 37 cutter rigged sailboat designed by John Cherubini. His line of designs in the late 70's and early 80's started the Hunter company's rise to great success and popularity. This boat was chosen by Bill as it is known as a tough, ocean capable boat. Traditionally rigged, she offers the beginning sailor all that is required for basic seamanship and the expert the benefits of a cutter rig (two jibs and a mainsail)without sacrificing performance. (New sails being delivered this spring.) Experienced sailors will appreciate the asymmetrical spinnaker. She is powered by a new 30 horsepower Nanni diesel engine. Protection from the weather may be had in the cockpit under the dodger and bimini while relaxing on the deck cushions. The galley is complete with 2 burner non-pressurized alcohol stove and oven, 12 volt refrigeration, and hot and cold pressure water. The private head spans the beam of the boat and provides a shower stall, toilet with holding tank and vanity.
