The Hurley 24/70 successfully introduced a more practical and comfortable living space for owners to take their families out cruising for longer periods. In her day, with her wide saloon, moulded furniture, nearly six foot headroom, separate heads compartment and spacious working galley, she was considered contemporary, even luxurious.
The owner has had the interior cushions upgraded to foam with the wood work painted and new interior lights fitted to modernise and freshen her up.
