Why the Hurricane 5.9?
Arrived in 1990, the Hurricane 5.9 is very close in spirit to the Tornado, an illustrious catamaran that was an Olympic supporter for a long time. However, it is very similar except for a few details that make all the difference.
Indeed, the Hurricane 5.9 is slightly shorter and slightly less wide! The Tornado has to be dismantled to be towed or transported, the Hurricane 5.9 is roadworthy. Easier to transport and set up, it was on easy-sailing before its time.

The Hurricane was designed by Reg White, an Olympic-winning sailor who also developed the Tornado. Like him, it has a hull with pivoting daggerboards, a large sail area, a spinnaker and 2 trapezes.
