The Hurley 22 Sailboat Specs & Key Performance IndicatorsThe 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 22Underwater 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 221. 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 221. 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.

Our eBooks...A few of our Most Popular Pages...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. | | | | | | | | | | | | ).

Before Hurley Marine went out of business the moulds were sold to Russell Curnow of Penzance, Cornwall who continued to build them up until about 1979. 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 18. The Hurley 18 shares the same long keel design as its bigger sister the H22, having been designed at the same time.

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.
