Hartley trailer sailers range from a mere 12' up to 21'. The 21' can even be extended to 23' by following precise instructions from the man himself, Mr Richard Hartley.
All Hartley trailer sailers can be easily built of marine plywood and timber and all make an amazingly rewarding home building project.
Full constructions plans and drawings are readily available from Hartleys Boat Plans.
The Hartley TS14 is 4.27m long and can be built with or without a cuddy and as a centre-boarder or a bilge keeler. The cuddy version has two bunks making a cosy cabin for week-end cruising, while the cockpit has seats for 6 for day sailing.
The level cockpit floor provides extra sleeping by night under a canopy.
This is the little yacht that started it all - and is Australia's most popular trailer sailer. The 5m long TS16 was in fact responsible for the 'trailer-sailer' name. Plans for centreboard, bilge keels or fin. A two berth cabin with room for two more in the level cockpit as well as stowage bins each side.
Great for comfortable leisurely sailing or fantastic one class racing.
The TS 18 (5.49m) trailer sailer is an excellent step up from the TS16. Centreboard, single keel or bilge keel variations available. More room, more space, a true easily handled little weekender.
The TS 21 is 6.4 meters long is the largest of the range. It can comfortably sleep four adults and has a cockpit large enough to take a crowd day sailing.
Can be built as centreboarder, single or bilge keeler and an option to choose either a fractional or masthead rig.
