I know nothing about the Hartley but if you can build in timber, take a
look at the Herreshoff H28. Tons of them have been built and they
definitely do sail well.

Alternatively if you want a 'simple' hull to build, check out George
Buehler's Web site (www.georgebuehler.com). He has a couple designs
around the 30' mark which can be built either with plywood hulls or
plank. Plans for a few of his designs are in his book. The book is
worth having regardless of the plans.

Thanks Peter,

Will look up the Herreshoff H28 and George Buehler's website.
