HARTLEY
H10
Hartley 12 single sailed dinghy. The
H12 is a 12 foot dinghy that has a single mainsail but can be
sailed with one , two or three sitting easy within the cockpit.
Unlike many other boat of this size and construction , the
design includes a lifting centreboard (and not a daggerboard)
and rudder which gives more latitude in choosing a course
through swallow water.
The hull has a wide beam and deep hull resulting in a most
stable and forgiving boat, which is smooth and nimble over the
water. The stable platform aids confidence and encourages
progress in ones sailing ability. Sailing in strong breezes is
exhilarating but can result in the odd mistake that could lead
to a capsize. The H12 is inherently buoyant and very difficult
to invert – it is also easy to right for lighter weight crews.
The inclusion of righting lines, and a design that has plenty of
hand grips and hull mouldings assists recovery from the
water.
A high double arched open transom will ensure an easy exit route
should one end up under the upturned hull. Comfort and stability
are further aided by a self draining cockpit which removes water
rapidly and efficiently.
