Welcome to the Hurley Owners' Association

We love Hurleys

Overview

The HOA was formed in 1998 with members in the UK and around the world. It exists to foster interest in Hurley boats, to maintain technical and historical information and to provide a contact network and forum for discussion of views and ideas. We are a friendly and informal group, also welcoming owners of other Ian Anderson yachts.

Archives

We have have a mine of information concerning all things Hurley on the website. This includes many original drawings and plans as well as some of the ledgers that were obtained when the factory closed. Note - we are no longer are able to track ownership of boats. We used to be hold an annual photograph competition and produce a calendar and you will find links to these in the Archive section. The archives also has a link to newsletters that were produced in the early years of the Association.

Merchandise

We have a few items of Hurley-related items for sale on our Merchandise page, most notably the excellent book A HISTORY OF HURLEY MARINE by Tim Sharman and Nick Vass.

The Team

We are a small team but betweeen us we have plenty of experience of Hurleys. Ian Sinclair is our Treasurer. He has sailed H22s for many years and is based in Chichester. Nick Vass is a qualified marine surveyor. His interest with Hurleys began when he owned a H24 but has maintained his interest ever since. Nick is always happy to answer any technical questions from the membership. Nick also looks after our Facebook page. Mike Carter sails a H24 and is based in Poole. He looks after the website and is the person to contact if you wish to advertise on the website. See below for contact details.

Events

From time we are able to organize events such as rallies and meetings on land. Our signature event was the 2016 Bring Your Hurley Home rally in Plymouth. See below. We also award a range of trophies from time to time. The Events page is a historical account of the events we have held over the past years.
