A strict one design framework of the Hurricane 5.9 has ensured competitive buying and running costs since its inception.

The twin trapeze layout and superb engineering integrity has produced a cat even faster than the classic single trapezed tornado but with great tolerance to differing weights.

With an overall beam of 8 feet the 5.9 can be trailed without dismantiling making her perfect for holiday sailing or the race circuit.

The 5.9 is designed to give tornado like performance coupled with smooth predictable handling. In many conditions the 5.9 will actually outpace the classic tornado.

The boat is equipped with kick up rudders and centre boards which ride up on impact reducing risk of damage.

The mylar mainsail gives long life and low maintenance with less frequent need for replacement.

And with the proven SX rig (3 sail) the boat is better than ever.

The 2010 Alexandra Palace boat show in the UK has been a real success for the Hurricane5.9SX Class. The Hurricane is the UK’s best value fast cat and in these recessionary times the 2010 Dinghy show has been the Hurricanes best in years reports the classes most respected sailor Andy Webb.
