The Hurley Owner’s Association was founded by John Udy in April 1998, prior to that there had been a association in Plymouth, however that only catered for Hurley 22 owners and had wound down several years earlier. The HOA, for Hurleys of all classes, came about when, as a Hurley 22 owner, John was very surprised to discover that nothing existed for these great boats whose designs go back to the 1960s. A couple of letters in the yachting press, and sixteen months further on and the association had a large number of members, mostly in the UK but also in Europe and across the Atlantic.

The general aim of the Association is to foster an interest in Hurleys, in all their forms, and, in particular:

a) to keep members informed of developments concerning the Association and any proposals concerning Association Rules
b) to organise meets, afloat and ashore
c) to maintain an archive of information of general and technical interest relating to boats within the Association
d) to provide a forum for discussion and queries through a newsletter and website.

The Association is managed by a committee made up of a Chairman, Vice Chairman, Hon. Secretary, Hon. Treasurer/Membership Secretary, Webmaster. Use this link to see a copy of the Rules of the Association (the latest issue, dated April 2010, contains a new Paragraph 10 covering liability for rallies organised by the Asssociation)

On joining the HOA new members will be sent a directory of members, who are the first port of call for help and advice for particular classes. We have a lot of experience between us and that is something we could all draw on from time to time. They will also receive the password granting access to the Members' Area of this site, which includes the Newsletter.

For free technical advice please email Nick Vass. Please send stuff to put on this site to Rod Coomber and for the Newsletter to Mike Sheridan, the Newsletter Editor.

If you are interested in becoming a member the annual subscription is £10. You may pay either by cheque or electronically.
