Review of Hurley 18

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

The interior is like many other boats made of mahogany. Mahogany belongs to the hardwood species, known for being water-repellent and resistant to decay. It has an attractive wood grain and holds wood polish and varnish well. The boat is equipped with 3 berths, a galley and toilet facility.

The boat equipped with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.

The Hurley 18 is equipped with a fin keel. A boat with a fin keel is more manoeuvrable but has less directional stability than a similar boat with a full keel.

The keel is made of iron. Many people prefer lead keel in favour of iron. The main argument is that lead is much heavier than iron and a lead keel can therefore be made smaller which again result in less wet surface, i.e. less drag. In fact iron is quite heavy, just 30% less heavy than lead, so the advantage of a lead keel is often overstated. As the surface of a fin type keel is just a fraction of the total wet surface, the difference between an iron keel and a lead keel can in reality be ignored for cruising yachts.

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 0.99 - 1.09 meter (3.25 - 3.55 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Hurley 18 is 2.00, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 5.1 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Hurley 18 is about 60 kg/cm, alternatively 336 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 60 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 336 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

What is a Ballast Ratio?

What is Displacement Length Ratio?

What is SA/D (Sail Area Displacement ratio)?

What is Relative Speed Performance?

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 10m 2 (107 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

Hi. Hear much about H20 and H22. But the H18... any atlantic crossings in this little "ship"? What's your oppinion on such task (offshore that is!) in a Hurley 18?  

Well-known member

can be done with some preparation and skill. Try asking these people:- http://www.hurleyownersassociation.co.uk/pages/h18.htm  

By the looks of it a fine little boat.It enters what I would call the "Barrel syndrome boat" in relation to ocean crossing.Anything will cross the ocean..even little yellow ducks.The problem is the occupant.I would say the big draw back would be having reached the other side there would be little room for guests and partying.

We used to have a Hurley 19 (which nobody's ever heard of), which was effectively a Hurley 18 with an extra foot stuck on the back. There are the deep keel Hurleys, which made fabulous ocean trips, and the shallow bilge / triple keel ones which are great for ditch crawling. Ours was a poor example (cost £400), and it certainly wouldn't have been my first choice for an atlantic crossing. The mast cracked in action, which could maybe be expected for a bit of aluminium alloy, with steel fittings, that had spent 40 years bathed in saltwater, but surprised the hell out of me.  

My previous boat was a Hurley 18. I felt it was very seaworthy boat (for its size) and had great faith in it. It was my first boat and it looked after me despite my inexperience. I sold it to a chap who intended to sail it to Spain.  

I'm sure a suitably prepared and handled example could take most that could be thrown at her. On the other hand, I met a youngish couple who were making their way slowly down the French Canals in a Hurley 18, they had everything well organised and she seemed perfectly comfortable for two over many months.

According to PBO's 'Which Boat', the points in favour of a Hurley 18 (actually 18 and a half feet LOA it says) are 'rugged, heavy-duty cruiser. Stiff, full bodied hull. Adequate fittings. Sensible outboard well'. Against, it said 'Smallish cockpit. Cramped berths. Deep draft'. I thought I had read somewhere that at least one had crosssed the Atlantic. Having previously owned a Hurley 22, I have great faith in Ian Anderson's ability to design a great sea boat (and there's a close family likeness). I would certainly consider buying a Hurley 18, if the circumstances were right (suited home waters, budget, etc.), but it's not the boat I'd want to do the Atlantic in. That's principally because of size. Much as it's POSSIBLE to cross the Atlantic in an 18 footer, you have to leave out much of the safety and comfort gear that I, for one, would want to take (and the Hurley is not the most capacious 18 footer). Even just a small increase in LOA from 18 foot gives you a lot more room. There was a series of articles in PBO a few years ago by Alistair Buchan about preparing his Hurley20 for an Atlantic crossing (and previously various other travels, including Norway, I think). It might be useful to read those, even if you're interested in a Hurley 18, rather than a Hurley 20. They are well written and engaging, and while he's a fan of his Hurley he is not blind to its shortcomings  

Another couple of things to bear in mind. 1) Because of their age, and having been an out of favour type for many years, they will be cheap, but beware it will be extremely unlikely that you will find one that has been well maintained throughout its life. Consequenty you will most likely need to spend considerably more than the purchase price refitting a Hurley 18 for such a trip. 2) Keeping batteries charged is a perennial problem on a boat with a small outboard motor. For a long trip it's a major challenge. Of course you can work round it (or take the Shane Acton approach of dispensing with electrics), but bear it in mind.  

Appriciate your well spoken answers! The load capacity may be of consern?! One of the "ups" is it's a cheap boat = more money for windvane, gear and so on.... One thing more: If I want to put up double "headsail" (?!) on an "extension" of the bow (sorry for my crapy english) How does this do to the sailing stabillity? possible? Think it would be "nice" on downwind sailing?!  

Any other capable samall around 20 foot boats??? Looked at the Kingfisher 20 , but no one in Sweden. to expensive to import. what about the Leisure 17? better/sturdyer than H18?  

None of the boats that you are looking at are designed for ocean crossing. The fact that many have done so is more a tribute to the courrage and resourcefulness of the individual sailors than anything else. Doubt many people use these boats through choice, but more through lack of money for something more suitable.  

Tranona. So very true... But the sunset looks the same in a Hurley 18 for 2 grand, as in a 2000 grand Hallberg rassy. sailing is not for "some" it is for everyone!

Well, I''ve found none other than my last boat, now for sale again: http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/yachts/thompson-t27-PAA11792 It sounds like she's been a little neglected, but 27' for £2750 might be a bargain. A lot depends on condition, and you're sure to need to do a little work, but she would be one of the best boats at this end of the price spectrum to do a transat in. Nearly 6' draft on a 27 footer, with a big bulb at the bottom means she's stiff as a church. She has already sailed across the Atlantic (different preious owner). I've sailed her in some nasty conditions (the video he refers to was me), and she behaved herself perfectly. She is also very very strong. I know this because she broke free of her mooring and bounced around on a pointy rock, in a two foot swell for pretty much 24 hours before I could get her off again. And yet, she was not holed. (She was deeply scratched though, and professionaly repaired - don't worry) We sold her because we moved abroad. I've just bought another boat, but if I were in the market for a boat in this price range again, I'd certainly take a look. (no connection to current vendor - but nice to see that my auld boat is alive and well)  

Today. this one is a possible offshore cruiser? The same as Albin Vega just smaller... 7,10 m long...just 1000 EUR your oppinion? http://www.blocket.se/goteborg/Karlskrona_Viggen_32375201.htm?ca=23_3&w=3

The accommodation is suitable of a couple, or 3 at a squeeze. The sailing performance is much helped by the fin keel configuration, giving her a stable ride in coastal waters. This example is well maintained with recent money spent on the engine, headsail and electrics. She is lying afloat and ready to go sailing this summer. A mooring is available by separate negotiation.

Chartering a Sailboat Cruiser Yachts under 30' The Hurley 22 Sailboat Specs & Key Performance Indicators The very popular Hurley 22 was designed by Ian Anderson and built in the UK in large numbers by Hurley Marine Ltd.   Published Specification for the Hurley 22 Underwater Configuration:   Fin with spade rudder Hull Material:   GRP (fibreglass) Length Overall:  22' 0" / 6.71m Waterline Length:  17' 0" / 5.18m Beam:  7' 5" / 2.26m Draft:  3' 9" / 1.14m Rig Type:  Masthead Sloop Displacement:  4,000lb / 1,814kg Designer:  Ian Anderson Builder:  Hurley Marine Ltd (UK) Year First Built:  1966 Year Last Built:  1975 Number Built:  1200 Owners Association:   Hurley Owners Association Published Design Ratios for the Hurley 22 1. Sail Area/Displacement Ratio: 15.3 Less than 16 would be considered under-powered; 16 to 20 would indicate reasonably good performance; Over 20 suggests relatively high performance. 2. Ballast/Displacement Ratio: 57.6 Under 40: less stiff, less powerful Over 40: stiffer, more powerful 3. Displacement/Length Ratio: 363 Under 100: Ultralight 100 to 200: Light 200 to 275: Moderate 275 to 350: Heavy Over 350: Ultraheavy 4. Comfort Ratio: 23.1 Under 20 indicates a lightweight racing boat 20 to 30 indicates a coastal cruiser 30 to 40 indicates a moderate offshore cruising boat 40 to 50 indicates a heavy offshore boat Over 50 indicates an extremely heavy offshore boat 5. Capsize Screening Formula:   1.9 Under 2.0 (the lower the better): Better suited for ocean passages Over 2.0: Less suited for ocean passages read more about these all-revealing numbers... Summary Analysis of Published Design Ratios for the  Hurley 22 1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of just 15.3 suggests that she'll need a stiff breeze to get her going. In any other conditions, unless you've got plenty of time on your hands, motor-sailing will be the way to go. 2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 57.6 means that she'll stand up well to her canvas in a blow, enabling her to power through the waves. 3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 363, tells us she's firmly in the ultraheavy displacement category. Load her up as much as you like and her performance will be hardly affected, not that it was ever startling. Few if any sailboats are built to this displacement category these days - but they remain popular with some of the most diehard traditional old salts. 4. Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 23.1 suggests that crew comfort in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a coastal cruiser, which is not encouraging news for anyone prone to seasickness.  5. Her Capsize Screening Formula of 1.9 tells us that she would be a better choice of sailboat for ocean passage-making than one with a CS rating of more than 2.0.  More about the Hurley 22... The Hurley 22 was first launched in 1966 and was Hurley Marine's most successful model. Over 1,200 boats were built until 1975, when Hurley Marine went out of business. The boat was then built by South Coast Marine and later by Ravensail, who called their version the Hurley 22R. Some boats were also built under license in Holland as the Hurley 700. The Hurley 22 is a good boat for yachtsmen looking for a small, low-maintenance coastal cruiser that can also venture offshore in moderate conditions. The boat is not a racer, but it can hold its own in club races or rallies. The boat is also suitable for single-handed sailing or cruising with a small crew. Accommodation The Hurley 22 has a simple and functional interior layout that can sleep up to four people. The boat has a small cabin with a V-berth forward, which can be converted into a double berth with an infill cushion. There is also a quarter berth on the starboard side aft, which can accommodate one adult or two children. The port side aft has a galley area with a sink, a stove and some storage space. There is no fixed table in the cabin, but there is a fold-down table that can be attached to the bulkhead or used in the cockpit. The boat has no separate head compartment, but there is space for a portable toilet under the V-berth. The cabin has a headroom of about 1.4 m (4.6 ft), which is not very comfortable for standing up, but adequate for sitting down or lying down. The cabin is cozy and well-ventilated, with four portholes and a large hatch on the foredeck. The cabin has some woodwork and cushions that give it some warmth and charm. The boat has no water tank but there is space for some jerry cans or bottles. Hull and Deck The Hurley 22 has a fiberglass hull and deck that are solidly built and durable. The hull has a moderate freeboard and a graceful sheer line that give it an attractive appearance. The hull shape is conservative but effective, with a fine entry and a full midsection that provide good buoyancy and stability. The hull has very little leeway due to its good motion in the waves and its deep keel. The deck is flat and uncluttered, with wide side decks and ample space for working or relaxing. The cockpit is spacious and comfortable, with high coamings and good drainage. The cockpit can seat four people easily or six people snugly. The cockpit has two lockers for storage and a lazarette for the gas bottle. The boat is steered by a tiller, which gives good feedback and control.

Copyright © 2024  Dick McClary  Sailboat-Cruising.com The Hurley 22 is a long-established family cruising yacht that is available with fin or bilge keels.Developed in 1964 and first sold in 1966, the Hurley 22 became an instant hit. Quite aside from her pretty lines - she looked like a 'proper yacht' - she is solidly built and is a good performer. From the outset the Hurley 22 was intended to be raced as well as cruised. A H22 even won the Round The Island Race in 1967 and they acquitted themselves well on the JOG circuit. But it has been the H22's cruising performance that has won the respect of many yachtsmen over the years. Hurley owners speak fondly of the little boat's performance and sea-kindliness. The boats have proved themselves on long cruises; several 22s have crossed the Atlantic, and at least one has cruised the Pacific. In 1963 George Hurley provided designer Ian Anderson with a brief to meet the demands of the family yachtsman, essentially to provide a medium to heavy displacement, safe, seaworthy yacht in both fin- and bilge-keel form, with berths for four and being suitable for either inboard or outboard engine, while at the same time retaining classic lines. The result was the Hurley 22 - classic in its time.The 22 went into Lloyds approved series production in 1966 and was in almost constant production up to 1990 by which time 1203 had been built. The moulds are still available to build new boats but as far as we know none have been built since 1990 The ballast ratio of the fin keel yacht is very impressive at 40% but the bilge-keeled version performs very well with deep twin keels. Most are powered by outboards housed in the lazarette well, some have engine mounts moulded into the transom but around 5 - 8% have inboards fitted, making them very special little boats. In the late 60s the yacht was very successfully raced and marketed by SHE yachts. The owner Derek Fitzgerald produced theH22S version with slightly taller Proctor rig, different winches and altered central cockpit mainsheet traveller and raced her under JOG rules. The Hurley 22 has been very successful in club racing over the years By 1969 production was running at three yachts per week and Hurley developed an excellent sales network throughout Europe and America. The yacht proved very popular in Holland, Denmark and Sweden. In 1972, having produced 731 boats the last 22 was built by Hurley Marine in favour of the bigger Hurley designs now coming into production, the H27 in 1971, the H24/70 in 1972 and then the H30/90 in 1973. Beween 1969 - 1971 the Royal Navy bought more than thirty Hurley 22s and used them for training purposes. They were mainly fin keeled and were given girls names. The Navy insisted that the Hurley 22 was given a skeg. Prior to that they had semi-balanced scimitar rudders that could be rotated through 360 degrees. However, the original rudder configuration was available as an option. The RN sold them off at auction during the nineties. At the end of 1972, after building 731 H22s, Hurely Marine stopped building them, replacing the H22 with the new H24/70. The moulds were sold sometime towards the end of 1973. In August 1974 Hurley Marine went out of business having endured two years of a recession and the H22 moulds were bought by two ex-Hurley employees who set up an enterprise called South Coast Marine, another set of moulds were bought by a Dutch company called Holland Yachting who also bought the rights to the Hurley name. There's no proof that any H22s were built in Holland. In 1975 SCM re-started production of the H22 having the hull and deck mouldings produced by Moody Marine Projects. Around 40% of SCM H22s were exported to Holland and sold there as the Hurley 700. SCM subsequently produced new deck moulds incorporating an anchor locker and long window to maintain the high standards set by the original builders and in April 1980 at the beginning of the next recession SCM went into receivership having built about 425 boats. Around 20 of their boats were left in the hands of the receivers and these were sold off unfinished in 1981. The moulds were sold to John Rattenbury of Ravensail Marine, Okehampton in 1981 and Ravensail finished their first in 1982. Asmaller company, Ravensail produced about 42 up until John sold the company to Hurlwind who moved production to Credition in 1988, Hurlwind built just 5 up to 1990. After Hurlwind the moulds were lost for a while but were found again grown-in behind a large hedge and moved to Blaxton Boats but none where built there. The moulds are now in the hands of another proposed yacht building company somewhere on the south coast. ).

The moulds were then bought by Varne Yachts of Nottingham who were later taken over by Weston Boats who then went out of business in 1986. Over 900 H18s were built altogether. Hurley Owners Association HURLEY 18. The Hurley 18 shares the same long keel design as its bigger sister the H22, having been designed at the same time.

The Hurley 18 is a heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. Review of Hurley 18 The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Hurley 18 is about 60 kg/cm, alternatively 336 lbs/inch.
