About the FELICITY 20 (HURLEY)
The first Ian Anderson design for Hurley Marine.
Designed by Ian Anderson and built by A.G. Hurley Marine Ltd. (UK), the Felicity 20 is a rare vintage micro-cruiser with only 150 hulls built in 1959. Its compact 20.0 ft LOA and fractional sloop rig reflect a specialized design philosophy from the late 1950s British boatbuilding scene.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced single-handers or couples seeking a trailerable coastal cruiser with minimal draft, prioritizing simplicity and low maintenance over interior volume.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 2400.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.12, the boat is primarily suited for protected coastal waters rather than extended offshore passages due to its light weight and narrow beam.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other 1950s-60s trailerable micro-cruisers like the O'Day 20 or early Catalina 22s, though the Felicity 20 is distinguished by its specific twin/triple keel configuration and significantly lighter displacement.
