  2. Hardly any Hughes 29 for sale..why?

    12452 posts · Joined 2000. #3 · Jul 30, 2009. There were not many Hughes 29's built for some pretty good reasons. First of all, I assume that you are referring to the late 1960's/ very early 1970's era Hughes 29 and not the Hughes Northstar 1000 or the Hughes Aura 8.7 which are sometimes listed as 29 footers.

    Buying a used Hughes sailboat or a Catalina Looking to buy our first boat. We are considering a 1981 Hughes 31' or a l981 Hughes Columbia 29'. We have also been looking at Catalina 30'.

  19. Hughes 26 Pros and cons

    The Hughes 26 started life as the S&S designed Northstar 500. I actually owned a 500 for a while. The 500 was an IOR race boat and as such was a good boat in its day. Its day came and went quite quickly when boats like the J-24 came along. These newer boats were much faster and easier to sail. The 26 had a retooled deck, keel and interior.
