The H-Boat is a keelboat designed by Hans Groop of Finland in 1967, with some minor modifications by Paul Elvström in 1971. The boat gained international status in 1977. Since 1967 over 5000 hulls have been made. The boat is mostly sailed and raced in Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark although there are a few boats in the UK and the US.

Major manufacturers of H-boats have been Artekno (Finland), Botnia Marin (Finland), O.L. Boats (Denmark)/Ott Yacht (Germany) and Frauscher (Austria).

The "H" in the name "H-boat" is derived from the Greek mythology goddess Hestia, not "H"ans Groop.
