This tuning guide for the Hurricane 5.9 SX is written by top Hurricane sailor and former Tornado helm John Ready. It provides clear baseline settings and practical advice to help sailors get the most from their time on the water. 

A similar guide for those sailing in “Classic” configuration was written in 1996 by Robin Smith, whose ethos of helping every Hurricane sailor get the most from their boat has endured beyond his lifetime and continues to support sailors on the water nearly 30 years later. 

A light-hearted guide to crewing the Hurricane, written by Paul Grey, multiple National Championship winning crew alongside Andy Webb in the 'Classic' configuration. While the boat has since evolved, many of the key lessons remain relevant today and make this a worthwhile and enjoyable read.
