The Hurley 22 is widely regarded as one of the most successful pocket cruisers ever produced in the United Kingdom, serving as the definitive example of Ian Anderson’s design philosophy: robust construction paired with genuine offshore capability. Launched in 1964, the model became the backbone of Hurley Marine Ltd., with over 1,200 units built by the original manufacturer before production moved to other yards like South Coast Marine and Ravensail. Unlike many 22footers of the era that were designed for inland lakes or sheltered estuaries, the Hurley 22 was engineered for the rigors of the English Channel. Its heavydisplacement hull and high ballast ratio provide a level of security and "big boat" feel that is rarely found in vessels of this size, making it a perennial favorite for adventurous solo sailors and budgetconscious coastal cruisers alike.
