Specifications
Hurley 700 ready for new adventures
Anyone looking for a compact yet fully-fledged sailboat with character will find this Hurley 700 an appealing opportunity. She was built in 1976 and constructed in polyester (GRP) with a classic S-shaped hull form, known for pleasant handling and good tracking. With an overall length of around 8.00 metres and a beam of 1.80 metres, the Hurley is easy to manage in the marina while still offering enough space for weekend trips with four permanent berths. This boat is being auctioned via BoatAuction, making her interesting for anyone wanting to buy a Hurley 700 and prefer to decide for themselves what she is worth.
The current owner is her second owner and indicates she is equipped for larger waters. She has been used on inland waters and at sea, mainly for day trips and leisure cruising. That suits her concept: a sailing yacht that invites you to head out when the weather is good, but also to stay aboard comfortably with the heater on and a simple galley within reach.
Hurley 700 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid up to and including 18 May 2026.
What makes this Hurley 700 so enjoyable to sail?
She is steered with a tiller from the cockpit, something many sailors appreciate for the direct feel of the rudder. The single-rudder configuration and her S-shaped hull give a classic, predictable response to helm pressure and gusts. With an air draft of approximately 1.50 metres, she is also suitable for routes with bridges, making her usable in many Dutch cruising areas. The self-draining cockpit adds comfort and safety on deck, especially when conditions become a bit livelier.
How is she equipped for sailing and trim?
This Hurley has one aluminium mast and comes with four sails: jib, genoa, mainsail and storm jib. The sails are described as being in good condition, which is ideal for anyone who wants to go sailing right away while still leaving room to later choose their own preferences in cloth and cut. On deck she is fitted with a reefing system with two reefs, lazy jacks and downhauls, keeping reefing and lowering the mainsail straightforward. For anchoring, one anchor with chain is included. Externally you will find, among other things, a high guardrail, pulpit and stern seats, fenders and lines, a cockpit table and exterior cushions—making her suitable for relaxed days at anchor or in the harbour.
What about engine, electrics and navigation?
She has a Yamaha outboard engine from 1990 with 9 hp, manual start and two cylinders. The engine is operational and an hour reading of approximately 100 hours is stated. For manoeuvring in and out of a berth, this type of engine is a practical choice, especially combined with her compact dimensions. The fuel tank has a capacity of 11 litres and a fuel gauge is present. The stated cruising speed is around 10 km/h with a maximum of approximately 11 km/h, which suits a sailboat of this size.
On board there is 12V electrics with one 50 Ah battery, a battery charger, voltmeter and shore power connection. For navigation and course information, a chartplotter, depth sounder, compass and autopilot are listed. This makes her interesting for anyone looking for a sailboat with chartplotter and autopilot, for example for longer legs on open water.
Is she suitable for overnight stays on board?
She offers four permanent berths and has an interior headroom of about 1.50 metres. That is compact, but for many sailors it is exactly what fits a classic cabin sailboat: cosy, functional and focused on outdoor living. The accommodation includes a cooker and mattresses. There is a 70-litre water tank, which is fine for weekend use. The toilet is manual and the discharge goes directly overboard—something to consider depending on your cruising area and local regulations. Heating is provided by a stove/heater, extending the season and making time on board more comfortable.
What points of attention are known?
According to the information provided, the boat is in reasonable condition. A minor damage to the bow is known. She was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2025, and the antifouling treatment was also carried out in 2025. No indications of osmosis have been reported. With a weight of approximately 2,000 kg and a keel of 1,000 kg as stated by the owner, she is known as a stable presence on the water—something also reflected in the owner’s memories.
This Hurley 700 is therefore an inviting choice for anyone looking for a GRP sailboat with tiller steering, berths, heater, shore power and a working Yamaha outboard engine. She is waiting for a new skipper to take her out again for day trips, weekends away, or that first step towards bigger waters.
