Designed by the multihull specialists at Morrelli & Melvin, the HH50 is a bluewater-capable, fast cruiser configured in such a way as to make it possible for shorthanded crews to knock off impressive 24-hour runs on passage with relative ease. Dual helm stations aft provide excellent visibility forward and aloft, and a push-button mainsheet and self-tacking jib come standard. For those in search of a little more horsepower, a massive overlapping Solent is also available. All line handling is done from the helm stations, thereby opening up the rest of the boat for living space. As is the case with its predecessors, the HH50 includes a pair of dramatically curved “C” daggerboards equipped with optional push-button-controlled line drivers to provide yet more lift/performance underway. At anchor, the boat’s forward sailhandling area converts into a comfortable forward-facing lounging space.
