About the HH 55
Forward and aft helm options. Pictured is forward helm. SA listed is main and solent. Hull beam on waterline is 1.68 m / 5.51 ft.
The HH 55 is a modern performance cruiser designed by Morrelli & Melvin and built by Hudson Yacht Group, with production records indicating a start year of 2018. As a fractional sloop with a displacement of 31305.0 lb, it combines the speed of a racing yacht with the comfort of a bluewater cruiser, though the exact total hulls built remains unspecified in the available data.
- Best for:
- This vessel is best suited for experienced sailors seeking a high-performance coastal cruiser or short-to-medium range offshore passage maker who prioritize speed and handling over heavy displacement comfort. Its fractional rig and moderate comfort ratio of 11.44 suggest it is ideal for those who enjoy active sailing and do not mind a lighter, more responsive ride.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 3.38 and a displacement/length ratio of 92.92, the HH 55 demonstrates solid offshore stability, though its relatively light displacement suggests it is best suited for protected coastal waters and shorter offshore passages rather than extreme heavy-weather circumnavigation.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Nauticat 52 and the Swan 52, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and performance-oriented hull forms from the same era. These models offer similar beam and displacement characteristics, appealing to buyers looking for a blend of racing pedigree and cruising amenities in the 50-55 foot range.
