Facts and Information

As with the Wayfarer the boat is at home in big seas and waves.  It is a pleasure to helm this 15.5ft hull with its wide beam, it’s a joy as with the Wayfarer to sail.

Together with providing that extra stability should that learning mistake happen, it’s a very forgiving boat.  For training, capsize drills are easy, the centreboard is easy to reach and one adult is able to safely right the boat.

The boat is very stable, two 18-year olds crossed the channel in 2019 in varied winds of up to 30mph, they found it exciting and reported the boat was fun to sail and would plane easily with great instant response.  A great deal of time and effort was put in to make the H15 hull and deck in order that we produce a sleek and good-looking boat.

Boat Success

Being put through its paces for six months by the Royal Navy in their desire to replace the mighty Boson, which had given over 50 years’ service, we were delighted when the Royal Navy selected the H15 as its replacement.  We have exported the H15 to many Countries and with the decision to buy a fleet of H15’s by Rockley Sailing School in Poole, together with many of the UK Sailing schools, many Sailing Centres and Holiday Companies then followed their lead. The H15 has also been bought by many private buyers who want no or little maintenance and, a boat that will be a dream to sail. It will last the rigours of time and take those little bumps and knocks.  The H15 was designed and built with a great deal of curve through the deck and the floor to stop the boat cracking on flat surfaces and this has cured the problem.
