Beuatiful, Unique Hughes 25' sloop 
Posted by: mart152
Description: Beautiful and sturdy, responsive and easy to sail! You will love the feel when Happy comes alive under the canvas - it is thrilling! Hap is rigged to sail by yourself, but there's lots of room (comfortable room) for company as well! Happy was built at the (Howard) Hughes boatworks in Ontario Canada - hull number 100 - a good one. You know by then that the workers have perfected all the little things they need to turn out a wonderful product! The marine surveyor told me that Mr. Hughes built his boats so well that the shipyard only operated for one year as he felt he could not make enough money on each one to justify the cost of production. As I'm sailing along, I often get great compliments from boaters with much bigger, fancier yachts that holler, "What kind of boat is that anyway?” Ever since I bought my little farm (1999) and moved my horses in with me, I've sailed less and less and feel now it's someone else's turn to have the thrill of owning an exceptional sailboat.
