Ciao Bella is a Hurley 20 bilge keel sailing yacht, she is my second 'proper' boat. having had some great times in a Fantasie 19 called Jelly Bean I decided it was time to increase my sailing range with a boat that could successfully bridge the gap between the huge fun of being able to explore every nook and cranny of a harbour or estuary and proper sea going ability. I hope this will be the case :~)

Hurley 20 Review
My mooring neighbour. Roger, has a starring role in this months 'Sailing Today' magazine. They have featured his Hurley 20 in a used boat review; with the tag line "Mini ocean crosser or dated death trap". If you're concidering a Hurley 20 as your next boat, it's well worth getting your hands on a copy.

ReplyDeleteSince I read your blog I have tried (many times) to order a digital copy of the mag (I live in Finland) but the technology is not working - as I have an Alacrity I am keen to know the verdict?
ReplyDeleteHi, I could post a copy to you? just make a suitable donation to a charity.

ReplyDeleteThat's incredibly generous of you, a scan of the article by e-mail would also be great for me. I know copyright but after spending a considerable amount of time trying to get the purchase of a digital copy to work I find it hard to feel guilty. My email so you gan get my address is appleby(at)abklinikka.com
ReplyDeleteDone :) Had a good rummage around your blog, some good stuff on there that I shall pillage for Ciao Bella :o))
ReplyDeleteBeen googling the Hurley 20 for a couple of days before I found your blog.
ReplyDeleteDo you by any chance still have the article? A friend of mine gave me his Hurley 20 because he doesn't have the time anymore.
Thanks anyway!
Hi Alexander, welcome to the fold.. if you send me your email address I'll send you what I have. Cheers Phil.

ReplyDeleteThank you mate!
Hi there, funny enough I have the same story as Alexander above :-) The parents of a good friend have proposed to give us their good old Hurley 20 and I was wondering how it was to sail before going into all the logistics. Like the others I've struggled to find the article and if you still have it in pdf, I'd greatly appreciate if you could email it to me yannguillemain@yahoo.fr. Cheers mate!
ReplyDeleteHi Phil, can I also trouble you for an email copy of the review if you still have it please? I'm new to sailing and recently bought a Hurley 20 but haven't taken her out yet so kind of wondering what to expect!
