Hi

The later hulls appear reshaped (pointy bow). Any info on differences?

mine is a 1964 and has a bridge, the cockpit winches are set on solid wood blocks, the rudder is skeg and the solid keel ends in a bulb mass.
dont no what hull number she is but can provide photos if needed.

I have hull # 55 and beleive that 1969 was the last year for them.

No, that is at least 10 years after production was done. Ours, #53, was built in 1968.

Would the owner of HR28 36 care to share some pix of your boat and her crew that can be added here? :)

Art,
The HR has been out of construction since the mid 60's. Only 86 HR 28's were built. George Hinterhoeller joined C and C and the HR line was phased out by about 68 in favor of a stricter racing class design cruiser. The HR came into production on the heels of the shark 24 for clients who wanted a more comfortable cruiser, they were custom built for clients but were not constructed to the same stringent criteria as a class design racer. Mine is #36 and is unique as the keel is faired smooth to the hull and the deck is a fiberglass plywood sandwich as apposed to solid fiberglass making the boat 500 lbs lighter. Great sailing boat if you can find one. They are a real witch to windward too.

Is it possible that a HR28 was still being built in 1983?
