Lady Hamilton is a 1970(?) Hughes 29 Hull # 052 built by HUGHES BOAT WORKS LIMITED which was
located at Huron Park, Ontario. According
to Howard Hughes over 200 Hughes 29's were built with a few being built and sold
as kit/owner completed boats. These boats where made from 1968 with the last
ones being built in 1973 by United States Steel Corporation after Howard and
Peter left the company. |

These are
the side logos for the Hughes 29 on the cabin side near the cockpit. One
on right is original and the left I added the 29. These were
tracings off a boat from John Bassett who owned a Hughes 26. (click
on them and they will link to a .doc which when printed will be actual
size.) |

Original sail shown is a
176% Genoa. From the photo you can see that I am unable to trim it
properly and I am using blocks well aft of the Genoa track. In
2009 I purchased a new 155% from Shoreline Sails in Toronto (Rolly
Tasker Sails) which made such a huge difference with less heeling,
weather helm and speed which increased now that the sail could be
trimmed efficiently. |
