alacrity 19 sailboat

Review of alacrity 19

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all. Some boats has a hull made of Wood.

The alacrity 19 is equipped with a bilge keel. A bilge keel is a double keel, which allows the boat to be beached. Bilge keels are the most popular keel for tidal waters.

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 0.55 - 0.65 meter (1.80 - 2.10 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for alacrity 19 is 2.42, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 5.5 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for alacrity 19 is about 73 kg/cm, alternatively 410 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 73 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 410 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

What is a Ballast Ratio?

What is Displacement Length Ratio?

SA/D (Sail Area Displacement ratio) Indicates how fast the boat is in light wind: - Cruising Boats have ratios 10-15 - Cruiser-Racers have ratios 16-20 - Racers have ratios above 20 - High-Performance Racers have ratios above 24 Sail-area/displacement ratio (SA/D ratio): 18.33

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 10m 2 (107 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

If you need to renew parts of your running rig and is not quite sure of the dimensions, you may find the estimates computed below useful.

The Alacrity 19 was designed in 1960 by Peter Stevenson. It was an open plan, relatively beamy yacht and they were built by Hurley Marine for the Essex based Hurley agent Russell Marine Ltd. They performed well but the accommodation and headroom were limited, but at least one has crossed the Atlantic.

The Alacrity was built in great numbers and was marketed as a Hurley for one year - 1969. Hurley did not just mould the hulls for Russell Marine but completed the whole yacht ready to take to sea. Russell Marine built them alone after about 1972.

Peter Stevenson's wife, Norma, has recently been in touch with the Association (Sep 2014) and has sent us the following message

I am delighted to know about the Alacrity; my husband Peter Stevenson designed her, then sold the drawings to Hurley and so didn't receive any royalties, Even so, I am pleased that the boats are still sailing. Should you require any more information I'll be happy to send it to you. Before we were back in Burnham we were in the West Indies with our Colin Archer double-ender, Happy Days! I attach a picture of Peter Stevenson (he's the one in the foreground) sailing an Alacrity. (The picture is above, click on it to see a larger version)

The Alacrity 19 was stretched by 18" and became the Vivacity 20. The re-design was by DC Pollard. The model was changed several times during its production run. Russell Marine joined forces with Catalina Yachts of the USA and also produced the Alacrity 21, Alacrity 22/670 and Vivacity yachts. The Alacrity 22/670 was a very different yacht to the 19 that Hurley Marine built. The 22 evolved and was later known as the Jaguar 22 in the UK, Catalina 22 in USA and Lynx in France. It was also built in Spain. Russell Marine eventually renamed themselves as Jaguar Yachts.

Whilst building the Alacrity 19 Hurley Marine also built a large range of similar yachts. These included the Signet 20 (built for a Welsh company but also marketed as a Hurley for a while), Silhouette, Hurley 18, Felicity 20, Hurley 20, Hurley 22, Hurley 24.

The Alacrity 19 is a British trailerable sailboat that was designed by Peter Stevenson as a cruiser and first built in 1960.

The Alacrity 19 is a fibreglass development of the wooden Alacrity 18.

The design was built by Hurley Marine and later Russell Marine in the United Kingdom, with more than 700 built, but it is now out of production.

The Alacrity 19 is a recreational keelboat, built of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed dual fin keels. It displaces 680 kg and carries 218 kg of iron ballast.

The boat has a draft of 1.82 ft with the standard keels. It is fitted with a small 4 hp Mercury outboard motor for docking and manoeuvring.

The design has sleeping accommodation for three people, with a single berth on the port side of the bow and two straight settees in the main cabin. The galley is located on the starboard side opposite the bow berth. The head is located under a hanging locker just aft of the bow cabin on the port side.

She could do with a clean up but is all in all a good study boat.

Heavy Jib sail needs a slight repair to clips that support it up the rigging on the bow but could be sailed without these supports if the sail was pulled tight enough. 

The Halyards for both Jib and Main could do with being replaced, I do have a large assortment of 6/8 and 10mm rope to help with this which can be agreed to be put in with the sail if the price is right.

The boat does come with 4 sails. Main and 3 Jibs, a slightly Heavy (the one that needs repair, and you could possibly do something similar to what is on the lighter Jib), a Lighter  and a “pint” sized Jib.

She is currently on a pontoon at Weymouth Harbour, and I’m sure the Harbour Commission will have no problem with you storing it there over the winter as they have been brilliant with me so far.

Anything that I haven’t covered please send me a message.

Russell Marine Ltd.

Founded by Des Pollard who began building the ENTERPRISE, ALBACORE AND GP14. In 1960 the 19’ ALACRITY was introduced. At first they were built of molded plywood but after a year GRP hulls were produced. (Earlier ALACRITY models were built by Hurley Marine.) Soon afterward, an extended version called the Vivacity 20 was built, available with either twin or fin keels. In 1963 the VIVACITY 20 was further extended to produce the VIVACITY 21/650 (6.5m) The VIVACITY 24 came along in 1973/4, again available as a fin or bilge keel model. All sold well and about 600 Alacrity’s and Vivacity’s were shipped to the US. In 1975 Russell Marine made an arrangement with US builder, Catalina Yachts, to build some of their models under license and selling them in Europe as JAGUARS. (JAGUAR 22, 25, 27, and 30). The Jaguar Car Company took them to court about the use of the name but lost. Russel Marine built it’s last boat in 1980.

FREE TO A GOOD HOME! TAKE HER AWAY!

It's sad to come across a boat that has, for whatever reason, just been neglected and left. I believe the make to be an Alacrity 19 although there is nothing to support this. Will need a lot of work to bring her back, so let's hope we can find her a suitable new owner.

"This vessel is being sold by Premier Marina. The vessel is sold with no history or survey. The condition of the engine or electrics is unknown. This vessel must leave the Marina once sold. Premier Marina will provide a free lift to transport and for a survey and any subsequent lift to transport following the survey. The survey will be at the cost of the buyer.

My New Project: 19' Hurley Alacrity 'Artful'

• Thread starter kylemccann
• Start date 3 Nov 2015

Hi Kylemccann, welcome to the forums. Yes you've got a fair bit of work there, but nothing too tricky; I'd strongly resist the urge to strip out everything, especially with winter approaching. I'd tidy her up and then attack one bit at a time, probably starting with the main hatch washboards then cockpit locker lids. I couldn't see the seal channel by the lids which you mention, but there is very useful stuff called ' Hatchseal Tape ', about 19mm wide, 2mm thick neoprene, self adhesive one side. It comes in rolls for about £10 at chandlers, I'll see if i can locate it in a minute. For seagoing use the hatches need to be pulled down tight onto it with clips, but at the least it should help a lot duting your refit. I don't know if you have googled ' Alacrity ' to see if there's an owner's association ? Otherwise lots of people on here with fairly similar vintage & type boats with transferrable ideas & tips. Good luck and keep dreaming, one day you'll be setting off under blue skies. Here's the stuff I mentioned; http://www.force4.co.uk/force-4-hatch-seal-tape-3mx19mmx6mm.html?sqr=hatch seal tape&#.Vjihtm7NSSo

Well-known member.

There's an active Hurley Owners Association. Search for it via Google and you can join online. There's also a Yahoo group which is perhaps a better information exchange as well as the Association. Lots of info on the Association website that you'll get access to if you join (£10 a year IIRC).  

I had a Vivacity 20, 18 inches longer than the Vivacity 18. Lovely boat but prone to window leaks even after replacing the H seal. Possibly because the GRP thickness varied around the window opening. I cut 8mm perspex sheet to the size of the window openings +15mm then bedded it onto sealant with multiple self tapping screws through predrilled (slightly oversized) holes in the perspex and slightly undersized holes in the GRP around the window opening. It worked.

TC I think a previous owner must have carried out this change, however I think I may need to re-seal as the silicone is possibly leaking.  

Leak with externally applied perspex window. I would try Captain Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure first. (£8 from Gael Force Marine) It is a very runny liquid dispensed from a small plastic bottle with a nozzle. You can access the top half of the perspex/GRP join from outside and the lower half from inside. Good luck with the project!  

That looks like a fine little boat. Just the wood work needs attention. It certainly would be a more fun project if you could get it home for the winter. Don't get to stressed about rain leaks mine has always leaked. Just do what you can. You would be well advised to replace the stay wires before sailing as these can let go without warning after 20 odd years sometimes less. When they let go it usually breaks the mast. Other wise just get it together and go sailing. It does not have to be perfect in looks. You might want to get an outboard motor for it. Makes life easier when learning to sail. Just enjoy olewill  

kylemccann said: I have made a start on the Drop boards, they were in saveable conditions they just need a few more coats of varnish. I am in the process of making up new hatch lids as the old ones were totally rotten. I will try and post a picture of the channel next time Im on board. But that Hatchseal tape which I previously didnt know the name of looks like it may just do the trick would you recommend fitting the hatches with hinges or possibly bungying (if thats a word) from the inside of locker.

Seajet said: Hi, for securing the new locker lids I would use hinges and the sort of clips which have an over-centre action, so they pull the lid down reasonably tight onto whatever rubber seal you fit. These catches can also take a padlock, handy when you get her equipped. Be a bit careful with hinges, if you can source them there are some good slightly chunky plastic ones around with stainless hinge pins - a lot of brass hinges seem a good idea but have nasty mild steel pins, so they soon seize up. However you do it, the lids must be secure and unable to float away or get knocked off if the weather goes hectic - being suddenly left with a big hole which will let a huge amount of water in ( even just into a locker let alone the whole cabin ) is to be avoided... For tasty stainless steel fastenings try googling ' Protex fasteners ' - tasty prices too but you generally only fit such things once, and they have a huge range of various ways of clipping stuff.

The grooves look to me like drainage channels to direct water into the cockpit. If they are, it would be foolish to block them with a rubber seal. You could fit a seperate rubber seal inboard of it. Seals direct would have some suitable stuff.

What does everyone recommend for making templates for plywood for the interior. Obviously cardboard would be my first choice but where can I actually get this in a big enough size, relatively cheap?

Hi kylemccann, welcome here and to the world of Hurleys. I too got my first boat this year, a Hurley 20 and even though I've only been out fishing with no sail yet its a fantastic thing to have. If your locker covers are like mine (most likely) then the channel is for drainage and a snug fitting cover with a lip will do mostly, a seal attached to the lid will improve matters without blocking the drainage. Not that the water would have much further to go, just avoid a few (dont listen Mary Berry) soggy bottoms. For cardboard, try supermarkets and white goods shops, any that deliver and fit will have the boxes returned on the empty truck. happy new boat.  

Lino - yes linoleum floor stuff - is handy for templates I seem to remember, though it would be pot luck to have or find some now I guess. Cardboard strikes me as a bit innacurate & vague, but I understand supermarkets let one have it if asked. If the rubber hatch seals are as I now think, try a car motor factor for ' P ' shaped car door seals - when I suggested hatch seal tape I was thinking of a quick fix for the boat ashore against the coming winter; most seals require some sort of clip or pull from beneath to clamp the lid down on the rubber.

graham said: This is the perfect time of year to get large bits of cardboard. bicycles are delivered flat packed in big cardboard boxes to bike shops. Just go in and ask for a cardboard bike box and they will probably ask you how many you want. the boxes are about 4 foot by 2 foot. We had an Alacrity once. Great boat , very strong and sails well . They sit upright on the twin keels but remove the rudder before the tide drops or it will lift off its pintles and float away if your not looking. Ask me how I know this Click to expand...

dylanwinter

hardboard is great for templates or you can buy storage boxes - which are really well made  

Regarding replacing the stay wires. You will need a yacht rigger to supply and attach the end fittings. The best is to remove the wires and deliver to the rigger asking for replacement. It would be worth raising the mast and checking the length of the existing wires. This way you can get the new wires just right. Wires come with a loop made in each end and a stainless steel thimble fitted inside the loop. The alternative is that possibly on the bottom there is a threaded rode swaged on. This screws into the turnscrew length adjuster. But there are many different variations on these arrangements. Even DIY fittings but these tend to be expensive. The original wires probably look fine. If any strands of the 19 strands are broken usually at either end then it definitely needs replacement. However most insurance companies insist on replacement at around 10 years old. They can fail without warning and seem to fail after a number of years regardless of usage. So while the cost is not insignificant to replace them the cost if one fails is a new mast. good luck olewill
