The Hurley 24/70 is small but spacious 24ft/7m offshore cruiser with 4 good 6ft+ berths, good standing headroom and very good seakeeping qualities. Around 200 were built in the early 1970's. This particular example has a fin keel with 1.25m draught and skeg hung rudder. The boat is lying afloat on a deep water mooring in Southampton but can be brought into a local marina for viewing.
