Hirondelle Association

                                             15 June 2014

Hirondelle, the brainchild of her designer Chris Hammond, was originally considered a family weekender with full length sleeping berths for 5 adults, generous cooking facilities and a small but useful bathroom. As far as we can tell a bath has never been fitted, unless you know different!

The cockpit has room for all to sit in relative comfort. I don't think Chris had in mind, some of the uses the boats have been put to over the years when he was pondering her design! Apart from the weekend coast hopping and fishing trips for the boys, many boats have carried out longer open sea passages, sometimes on a two to three week family holiday even with the kitchen sink aboard! Some have cruised through the French canal system and into the Med and beyond. Others have made it as far north as Finland, Canada and through the USA into the Caribbean.

Many owners have had their boats in excess of 10 years and are still putting many happy miles beneath their keels. There are a few well equipped examples with fully operational radar, computerised navigation centres, refrigerators, freezers, davits with dinghy's, wheel steering, autopilots and the long list goes on! "All this in a boat of 7 by 3 metres," I hear you say "that's hard to believe". Yes but oh so true!

She had a few race winnings to her name, these were mainly won by the Mk I's, and as far as we are aware all the above has and is carried out in relative safety, few of the boats have been lost while under way. This is a tribute not only to their skipper's skills but in a big way to Chris Hammond who obviously designed a purposeful, practical and safe boat for the builders to manufacture. We owe our thanks to the designer and builders of our gallant little craft.

Broker's Comments

These catamarans are still very popular and with not many on the market they still have a good following. This one is pretty basic but appears sound and just had new rigging fitted with good sails. She could be sailed away even though there is some cosmetic work needed to complete the package, she represents good value for money and with a little effort she will be a smart boat.

Her owner has renewed most of the running rigging, her cushions have been recovered in the main cabins and she has matching curtains. She has been sailed on the river Blackwater and as far as Ipswich in the North. Overall a well equipped boat with good sails, great value!

Hirondelle MKI

Hirondelle MKI is a 22 ′ 8 ″ / 6.9 m catamaran sailboat designed by Chris Hammond and built by Brian Carvill & Assoc. (UK) starting in 1968.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

The biggest difference between the Hirondelle Mk I and II was in the rig; being a little under a metre shorter.
