What's the difference between Mark1, Mark 2 and Mark 3 versions of the Hirondelle cat? Does anyone know if there is an owners' association ? Any info gratefully received.

Mark 1 and 2 had dagger boards, Mark 3 small keels. I believe the early dagger boards had a rep for leaking. Early ones had the galley on the step between the hatches, later ones had the galley in the starboard hull. There is an owners club - I can post the URL tonight if you want.

They used to be offered with an Aerorig option. Well worth considering if you can find one.

In addtion to what's been said, I think the beam increased slightly with the Mk3 model. They are good little family coastal cruising cats. The late, great Geoff Pack had one for a short while when his children were small and had a ball in it

Many thanks for responses. Info. sought for friend who needed clarification of differences and did not know of the forum.
