I had a H22 a few years ago.Sails well ,very sea worthy and strong but not much accomodation room inside.Also not much headroom.
People have done long voyages and survived bad weather in them .
There have been other discussions about them on this site,dig them out using the search facility.

www.geocities.com/hurleyowners will take you to the Hurley Owners website. I used to own a H22, now got a H30. the H22 is a solid cruising boat with limited accomodation. The slightly larger Hurley 24 has much more space and shares the virtues of the H22.
The Navik that I have works well in most conditions and several people have used tehm on long distance voyages. Not too hot in light winds, but what windvane is.

If you're prepared to put some work into restoring one (fin keel version) I know where you can get one for free!

I owned one for 7 years. They are very strongly built and seaworthy with ballast weighing over 1 tonne. Hurley 22s have crossed both the Atlantic and Pacific so Spain should be no problem. My Hurley was an early model and the hull had a Lloyds plate on the bulkhead and certificate relating to the hull construction.
Due to their displacement they are a bit slow in light airs but relish strong winds. Despite this, I understand a 22 won the Round The Island Race in 1967!
I have several old test reports from Yachts and Yachting, Yachting Monthly and PBO. It looks like some of these are still available from the Magazine Reprints link on the YBW home page.
Perhaps one thing to look out for is seepage of water into the encapsulated ballast in the keel(s) which could result in weakening of the GRP.
