The Hurley 22 is a sailboat from the former British shipyard Hurley Marine . It was the most successful model of this shipyard and was built over 1,200 times. The Hurley 22 was later built under license by Jachtbouw Twente in the Netherlands under the name Hurley 700 .
The designer of the Hurley 22 was Ian L. Anderson . He constructed it as a GRP boat with a width-length ratio of 1: 3. It was first presented in 1964 and around 1,200 were built and sold. The standard version of the boat is a keel keeler . The shallow draft is compensated for with a relatively large ballast weight made of lead or iron. The ballast share is 59%.
Anderson later constructed other models, such as the Hurley 18, 20, 24, 27, 28 and 30, with the number indicating the boat length in feet . A previous model with many similarities to the Hurley 20 and Hurley 22 is the 20 foot long Hurley Felicity , which was built about 150 times and was the first Anderson construction for Hurley.
Hurley Marine stopped production in Plymouth in 1974 and sold the designs and the brand name to South Coast Marine, later to Ravensail . Both continued to build the boats with various changes. Ravensail named her model Hurley 22R.
In the late 1980s the brand name was licensed to the Dutch Jachtbouw Twente . This shipyard built a modified Hurley 22 under the name Hurley 700 . This lighter Hurley 700 has a yardstick number of 116, but the Hurley 22 has the slower 127 with a weight of about 1.9 tons.
