Hurricane
The Hurricane is a keel/centerboard boat making it a perfect shallow water explorer
Building dreams that last a lifetime
The Hurricane Sloop was designed by Merv Hammatt using the Alberg Typhoon as the basis for this beautiful shallow draft gaff rigged sloop. The Hurricane is a keel/centerboard boat making it perfect to gunk hole in shallow waters, while retaining stability and sail handling.
The gaff rig keeps the center of effort low, making sail handling fun but efficient. Reefing is accessible from the cockpit.
The spars are built to the same high standards as our other models: hollow eight sided vertical grain Douglas fir, beautifully shaped and varnished. They are rigged with Dacron halyards, ultra strong synthetic strops and our trade mark state of the art standing rigging.
The traditional wood trim adds to the inherent beauty of this classic looking day sailor. The eleven foot long cockpit is roomy and open. Our Hurricane cockpit boasts slatted cedar seats and floorboards. The bilge is completely accessible. Floor frames are glassed in using a composite material. Flotation chambers are built in fore and aft. We have added 850 pounds of lead for added ballast. The keel/centerboard configuration makes this an easy boat to trailer.
Handling is a charm, making this 18-footer an appealing alternative to a larger hull. The Hurricane compliments our growing fleet of superbly crafted traditional sailboats with its unique style and performance.
