The Hilbre One Design is a British trailerable sailboat that was designed by Alan Buchanan as a one design racer, specifically for the West Kirby Sailing Club in northwest England and first built in 1958.[1][2][3]

Production

The design has been built in the United Kingdom since 1958, with 55 boats completed.[1][3]

Design

The Hilbre One Design is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of wood with clinker construction. It has a fractional sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel with a retractable centreboard. It displaces 2,000 lb (907 kg) and carries 500 lb (227 kg) of iron ballast.[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 4.42 ft (1.35 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.56 ft (0.48 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.[1][3]

For downwind sailing the design is equipped with a spinnaker.[1][3]
