For the Hunter Channel 323, the information below is intended as a model-level planning tool rather than a substitute for checking the rig actually fitted to the yacht. The kicker recommendation is presented as a separate equipment option, allowing it to be considered during the refit without treating it as part of the standing-rigging set. Even apparently standard production boats can acquire different fittings over time, so photographs and measurements from the current rig are more useful than relying on the model name alone. If the old rigging is available, copying the original stay set after checking its condition and dimensions is usually more dependable than manufacturing solely from a model-based schedule.
