hirondelle family catamaran

The Hirondelle is a fibreglass cruising catamaran, 23 feet (7.0 m) in length, with a beam of 10 feet (3.0 m), and in its standard configuration has 4 or 5 berths. Based on Chris Hammond's 20 ft (6.1 m) 'Meon' cold-moulded/sheet-plywood catamaran of 1967-8, the original design was bought by Brian Carvill in 1969, modified, renamed Hirondelle, and manufactured in fibreglass by Robert Ives Boatbuilders in Christchurch, England.

The boat was marketed as a family weekender with full length sleeping berths for five adults, cooking facilities and a small but useful separate heads (toilet). Hirondelles have an outboard motor as auxiliary power, mounted in a well in the centre of the cockpit. The sailing performance of the Hirondelle was excellent in its day, and is still good for a boat of its size, particularly in Mk I form. Over 300 Hirondelles were sold.

There are four types:

Hirondelle Mk I - In general the Mk I's had a tall rig, with a mast in excess of 30 feet (9.1 m), and a high percentage of the boats were home completed. The interior layout usually comprises two generous single quarter berths, a large convertible double (cum table) on the bridgedeck and a single berth forward on the starboard side. To port in the bow is the heads - most boats were fitted with sea toilets and a small stowaway wash basin. The Mk I boat has twin daggerboards and lifting rudders, and the sail area was 250 sq ft (23 m 2 ) or 330sq ft with the widely used 150% genoa.

Hirondelle Mk II - The important difference between the Hirondelle Mk I and the Mk II was in the rig, with the Mk2 mast being a little under a metre shorter. Some minor interior changes appeared, and the cabin windows became slightly larger with a different shape. In the main the design remained as a safe comfortable family cruiser, with longer distance capability.

Hirondelle Mk III - The major change in the Hirondelle Mk III was the introduction of fixed keels and rudders in place of daggerboards and lifting rudders. Although a greater draught made for less ability to ditch crawl the boat gained in strength and many believe it to be much stiffer under sail. More space was also a good point, and a hinged full size chart table was possible, as was a better galley layout. Water tanks could also be sited in the keels.

Hirondelle Family - The Hirondelle Family was born as a result of a Hirondelle Mk III owner, David Trotter, and the original designer Chris Hammond, modifying the Mk III moulds. The most important differences were a wider beam (about 600mm extra), more freeboard (allowing more comfort in the cabin), the starboard forward berth was removed and replaced by a larger functional galley, the heads became much bigger and even able to sport a shower, the rudders were underslung (enabling "sugar scoop" transoms to be used), and windows were installed over the quarter berths. A major improvement in space was also achieved by the new bridge deck nacelle, which allowed more foot room at the central table.

An Aero Rig was also fitted to some Hirondelle 'Family' boats in place of the conventional Bermuda sloop configuration.

Seller's Description

Hirondelle Mk II Catamaran, 1977 Morgan, New Jersey. $10,925

LOA 22’-10” Beam 10’ Draft 18”/ 4’ Weight 2400 lbs (approx.) 1 dbl berth, 2 quarterberths

I did significant work on this rare classic English catamaran before bringing her up the ICW from Savannah to the Chesapeake Bay. There we meandered northward exploring coves and inlets that most boats could not enter. When we reached the top of the Bay we headed through the C&D Canal, down the Delaware Bay, and back inside from Cape May to Manasquan Inlet. There we headed outside up to and around Sandy Hook. I and my crew of 1-2 spent three comfortable months on our 1,000+ mile journey.

There is 5-8” of headroom in both hulls and sitting headroom in the bridgedeck salon (which converts into a double berth). A friend of mine (who is 6’-3”) owns a Tartan 3700. He thought the head in my boat was more comfortable than the one in his. He also liked the dual companionways which he thought prevented traffic jams.

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.

. Her accommodations surpass any of her size, while retaining the functionality to be easily trailered and stored out of . She outperforms multihulls and monohulls on nearly all points of sail and points exceptionally well, due to her daggerboard design. She is a joy to sail with her peppy response and comfort. This is an extremely capable that has sailed across the Atlantic from to the United States. We're only selling to pursue our dreams of cruising and need something a little larger for a of 4 on an extended . We would consider trading up to a larger .

Broker's Comments

The Hirondelle 23 is a fast coastal cruiser, capable of much more in the right hands. Anyone used to a monohull of the same length will be amazed at the accomodation and performance that this little cat can provide. A great little fun boat for the Bristol Channel and beyond where speed and shoal draught ability will always be at a premium. She benefits from a brand new and economical motor and with a bit of tlc (cosmetic only) she's ready to go. These boat details are subject to contract.

Battery charger (hardwired for shore power charging) LED strip lights inside (both sides). Run from back to front of port and starboard. Wave hand over sensor to power on - very smart! Manual controls also. Fully dimmable. Powerful deck LED bar spot lights - two rear floods and one very powerful flood bar light on the front (all controller from gang rocker panel). Inside touch spot lights. 2 in main cabin middle - 2 in cabin rear. Head has light bars throughout. 16A Shore socket and plug ~ 4 gang fuse board + cables. Nasa Supernova LED all round Tri.

Main sail Furling Genoa They are back from the valet and reconditioning - excellent condition now. Excellent sails according to the sail makers. This cost £598 for the recondition plus some repairs.

Sleeps 4 - 2 in main saloon area, 1 in each side aft berth She has all the sole boards and saloon table (does double as the bed in Saloon area) - This has been restored. She has a small galley. Stove heat plate fitted. She has a sink, with plumbed in drain/seacock valve. Tap in place but not connected to water container at the moment. There are water fill points to fill from outside. Heads with Jabsco sea toilet, sink with outlet. Brand new high quality upholstery. Professionally made. Not cloth - wipable material. Removable and washable. High quality thick zips.

Hirondelle Association

                                             2 October 2014

The Hirondelle Association is for Multihull sailors who have a leaning towards the Hirondelle catamaran. It was first set up by a few like minded and dedicated guys who exchanged ideas and comments and enjoyed sailing their excellent little craft. In those early days there was only time to work for a living, sail as much as was possible and then maintain the boats.

As technology has moved forward, a few things have become a little easier and allowed us just a little more time, this has been used to set up the Association, now we can communicate much more readily and hopefully enthuse each other to get more involved in our sport (or enjoyable pastime).

We are a forward looking group with a driving force to improve our boats and our enjoyment of them, we will do that by passing on our ideas and any modifications we may feel we can justify, without too much compromising the original design.

We market our own design pennants.

The Association welcomes articles on modifications to other Hirondeller's and if you are thinking of parting with your pride and Joy we are happy to circulate for sale ads at no additional cost.
