Hartley Boats H12 Trainer £5498 incl VAT

The H12/2 Trainer is the best Double Handed training boat money can buy.

Reasons Why

• The H12.2 is the only 12ft roto-dinghy in its category to be fitted with a centreboard, this makes sail training easier, also launch and recovery much easier
• The most stable 12ft roto-boat in business you could buy. Unlike other boats of its size when they capsize, the H12.2 hull design kicks in and gives the sailor more tolerance, thus more confidence a massive help for a new sailor.
• High boom, making it easy to tack and gybe
• Light to launch and recover (only 78kgs)
• Comfortable seating with deep floor and plenty of legroom. With self-draining cockpit sailing is in a dry cockpit
• Exciting to sail, it will soon get up and plane in the right wind conditions
• Option of asymmetric or symmetric spinnaker
• Great sea boat, good in big waves and seas
• Made from reusable materials
• Only roto-boat with 4-year guarantee. Sailing schools are still using after 11 years
• Sails are made in house from the best sail cloth money can buy they will last

Facts and Information

• Design a sailing dinghy just for training, design it to be the very best 12ft (3.65m) training dinghy in the world.
• We visited 35 sailing clubs and sailing centres to find out their requirements for a training boat, we visited holiday sailing schools to get their list of requirements then combined together and produced a list of priorities to be achieved from the new boat.
• We employed the best Naval Architect in the UK, Phil Morrison and backed that up with an unlimited budget.  From our research the same priority list was repeated time and time again by many of the training centres.
• What came back was they wanted a STABLE boat that gave confidence to any novice sailor and, with a centreboard fitted instead of the dagger board as used by other manufacturers would be a great advantage, comfortable seating, a dry cockpit, high boom and easy to reef the sail, with a boat that would handle well in big seas, with a choice of spinnaker system either asymmetric or symmetric to cater for all training disciplines.
• Help us with training, make it hard to invert and easy to get back up by a novice but, make the boat sail like a normal boat that the sailor has to balance the boat but when it gets to the point of normal capsize, it stops to give that extra stability to a novice sailor and in-turn the confidence and the desire to come back and learn more and above all, comes off the water with a smile.
• Give us a boat to maximise the return from our investment, make it suitable for a youth sailor or for one or two adults. Ensure it is not a heavy boat to handle but it must last the rigours of time.
• The H12.2 has been exported to many countries and is used by holiday sailing companies, many of the leading sailing and training centres throughout the UK. The H12.2 is used by many families and has more than achieved its position in the sailing world.
• We are proud to say all the benefits plus more have been achieved, we believe the H12.2 dingy is the most stable 12ft (3.65m) sailing dinghy in the world. The H12.2 was not designed to be a boring boat, with the right conditions it will get up and plane and be exciting to sail.
