Humber Hulls

Pablo · 21 August 2007, 09:24

Hello,
can someone please explain to me the recent history and the various differences between Humber hulls ?

I understand that the Attaque is the predecessor of the Ocean Pro. Is the hull just as good ? Do they have the same 2m beam ?
The Assault seems to be more of a leisure craft that is less seafaring than the Ocean Pro. Is that right ?
What is the Alpha ?

Thanks for your help. Narrowing down the choices when you're abroad and not able to see the boats in the water is difficult.

the alpha i think is one of there older boats with a similar hull to the assault which is a shallow vee i.e not a seagoing hull.

Thank you.

That clarifies the Attaque perfectly

While we're on the subject of old Humbers, I had a ride in one claiming to be a "Humber Delta" All I can rememebr from the plate on the transom was it was called a Delta, was 5m long and was rated up to 60Hp.

Is another that has been renamed, or is it consigned to the history books? It had a narrow hull, hence my interest - I'm starting to look at upsizing slightly, but it still needs to get through my garage door!)
