Seaward 32RK Is a ‘Thin-Water-Cruiser’
The Seaward 32RK was designed and for years built by Floridian Nick Hake. The design is now part of the Island Packet company which builds the Island Packet line of cruising boats as well as the Blue Jacket 40. The same craftsmen who build the IPYs and BJYs built the Seawards, too, so you know that traditional American yacht style and quality go into every boat. The 32RK has one signature design feature that makes it uniquely suitable for cruising in areas with a lot of shallow water and for sailors who want to trailer their boats. The RK in its name stands for “retracting keel” which enables you to lower the keel to whatever depth you want, within reason, and to raise it again when the water starts to get thin. Read More

a (Hake designed) 32RK. I plan to do some gunkholing in FL and up the E Coast, possibly part of the "American Loop." (Previously owned a 29.) Parking it for several months on the between jaunts looks attractive. Can any of you that have owned or sailed on a weigh in here on the ? Sailing characteristics, , layout, issues, issues, etc. Actual hands on experience would be appreciated. Thanks.

, in fact I believe they now own . I believe it has a good reputation gunk holing would I assume be its specialty. A sailboat that you can beach is intriguing.

350 instead, but still also have the Seaward 25).
Seawards are well made . i also like the idea of being able to trailer a . We've done that with our 25, and have sailed it all over the northeast. You will need permits to trailer the 32 as it's over the width limits. Also will need at least a 3/4 vehicle to tow it. We ended up going with the , because we got a much more liveable boat for the same . However, it took a more than a week this summer to get from Lake Erie up to the north channel of Lake Huron on the Catalina (but a great trip). Our Seaward would get up there on its trailer in a day or 2.
If you do look at the 32s, do some as Hake Yachts did some modifications to the and assemblies over the years. The early ones had some issues with the bulb staying on.

is very forgiving for this 63yo sailor in need of much grace. The boat has some interesting peculiarities, not unlike her owner. E.g. having hardly any keel makes difficult especially in ; significant leeward drift and lack of control in reverse. I occasionally spin into the by stern or bow at the mercy of the . I've practiced to where I can pretend to look confidently in control. LOL. I'm just starting to feel comfortable and confident with exploring (usually solo) the coast/bay.
Nick me an an "upgraded rudder" but turns out it doesn't readily install without major mods. I'm in the process of returning the unused to Nick. I've had it for almost a year. Nick has kindly offered to install it but he seems to be covered up with busy.
The relative low weight permits me to hoist her up on a where she resides between jaunts.
I have a 20K 3-axle trailer which I customized for it but have yet to pull it out of the with this trailer. I've had all the in-mast professionally coupled in anticipation of lowering (mast hasn't been lowered since it was originally splashed). I'm in the process of a system to lower the . Lowering the mast on the 32 is a bit more involved than advertised, especially without the experience. Feel free to PM me if you're still interested and/or have specific questions.

Business Be Independent & Pleasure as Well
Our boats are constructed from various proven composite formulas. Below the waterline, the outside layer of ISONPG Gelcoat is backed by a layer of vinylester which is impervious to water penetration and osmosis blistering. The general laminate that accounts for the structure of the hull, deck, and liner is a triaxial stack of unidirectional e-glass, hand-laid. Parts of the bow stem, rudder blades, and keel foil are unidirectional carbon fiber with a vinylester matrix. Our keel trunks are laminated as a part of the hull, as the hull is laid up. When the trunk is bonded to the deck, the result is an extremely rigid structure. There are no coring materials below the waterline and there are no cores that are not impervious to water anywhere on our boats.
Hull To Deck Joint
Each of our boat models have hull to deck joints that are mechanically and chemically joined. Each model has a hull flange designed for maximum mating surface with the deck. The 26RK hull flange is an inverted “J” style. The hull turns outward and downward at the gunnel, and the deck turns downward as well.
The 32RK model has inward turned hull flanges mated to the deck. The hull to deck joints on all models are extremely strong and watertight.
Keel Winch Mechanism
Our keels are housed in a trunk and moved vertically by a 12 volt winch mounted in a water tight box above deck. An ultrahigh strength synthetic cable 1.4 times stronger and 15 times lighter than comparable stainless cable, is routed from the winch drum through a series of stainless turning blocks to provide mechanical advantage to raise or lower the keel. Our 32RK and 26RK models use 3 turning blocks, all with a 12,000 lb. rating. All components are designed to far exceed any load placed on them and are chosen to be maintenance free and durable in a salt-water environment. All components of the keel winch mechanism are easily accessible. Keel position is controlled via toggle switch from the cockpit.
Keel and Bulb
Our keels are constructed with hand laid outer skins of fiberglass and an inner core of polyester composit. There is no foam or coring material of any kind in the foil. Our bulbs are solid lead castings, and are joined to the keel by stainless threaded rods embedded in the foil. The rods run the length of the foil and through the bulb, and are capped at pockets at the bottom of the bulb with washer and nut. The cast lead bulbs are epoxy coated for better antifoulant adhesion. There are three 5/8” treaded stainless rods for the 32rk and 26rk models.
Yanmar Diesel
Our 32RK has a Yanmar diesel as standard equipment. The 26RK has a diesel or outboard options. The diesel choice for the 26RK is a Yanmar 2YM15 fresh water cooled two cylinder engine producing 15hp. When opting for outboard power, we recommend you purchase your motor from a dealer near you, and suggest a long or extra-long shaft model of approximately 7-9 hp. When outboard power is your choice, we supply an adjustable motor bracket on the transom at no charge.
The 32RK diesel is a Yanmar 3YM-30, producing 29 hp. This is a 3 cylinder engine.
All of our diesels are heat exchanger cooled, and have conventional prop shaft drives, with dripless shaft logs.
A gensets is available on our 32RK model. Our gensets are single cylinder diesel powered, 4.2kw rated and fresh water cooled. They are housed in sound proofed compartments and are easily accessed for service.
Details : 26 RK
Nicely Equipped at $98,500
The Seaward 26RK is set apart from others in her size and class by her spacious and open cabin, effective use of space and superb performance capabilities. Like all of our sailboats, the 26RK offers an adjustable keel and rudder. With a draft range between 15” and 6’ you can adjust the keel from the cockpit to suit water depth as shallow as 18″ yet be extremely capable offshore. Low center of effort sailplan and center of gravity, considerable hull form stability and ballast low in a bulb at the keel’s lower tip provides great stability. Clean underbody and high aspect foils assure high levels of performance on all points of sail. Standard, she comes nicely equipped. Freedom to SAIL WITHOUT BOUNDARIES in style and comfort!
Details : 32 RK
Nicely Equipped at $198,000
Inspired by the vast water geography of Florida, our Seaward 32RK is the perfect performance/cruiser combination. Generous in space and thoughtful in design our 32RK offers unique teak wood and stainless finishings and accents. Her cabin is comfortable and bright with eight opening ports and two deck hatches, allowing sufficient natural light to shine in. With capacity to sleep four comfortably, she is well appointed for a long journey or a day on the beach. From cooking to showering, and eating to relaxing, we understand your needs in each calculated design.
Never before has a sailboat performed with such distinction yet been so easy to trailer. Her keel not only enhances performance but affords flexibility and ease. With a draft range between 20” and 6’6” she rides close to the wind in deep waters and provides the flexibility and safety to sail in shallow conditions. Come aboard the 32RK and let’s talk about how to realize your dream of owning a quality sailboat that will take you where you want to sail without boundaries.

Sailboat Guide
Hake 32RK is a 34 ′ 6 ″ / 10.5 m monohull sailboat designed by Nick Hake and built by Hake Yachts (Seaward) starting in 2006.
Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
LOA: Length overall in feet
Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Hake Yachts is one of the only builders in the US that produces high-quality and innovative retractable keel sailboats. With a flip of a switch, the keel can be raised vertically from 6'6" to a mere 20" for trailering or tying up to a shallow water dock. If a storm is approaching, no problem, just load the boat on her double axel trailer and get her out of harms way.
Under sail, Western Flyer is responsive and comfortable. Her innovative use of space allows plenty of room for friends and family, all in a yacht with a high-quality fit and finish.
Western Flyer recently had a survey completed that uncovered a 12 inch x 10 inch area below the starboard rub rail that indicated some internal fiberglass delamination. The area was part of a repair done by a professional boatyard in 2019 that was not completed properly. A copy of the survey report showing the area described in this listing is available to potential buyers.
Highlights Include:
Retractable Keel- 20"/ 6'3"
Yanmar 30 With Only 624 hours
9,000 BTU Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning

In 2018 Western Flyer was in Port St. Joe Marina for Hurricane Michael. The boat was prepped for the storm, but sustained fiberglass damage to the lower lip of its stern and a 14" section of the starboard rub rail. No water entered the vessel. After the storm the boat brought to Panama City FL to be repaired as an insurance claim. After the vessel was repaired it was put on its trailer and brought back to Port St. Joe where it has been in covered storage awaiting the marina to reopen. The owner has been maintaining the vessel while in storage, and has been running the engine with a fresh water hose.
In March 2023 the seller had a suspicion that the repairs were not completed properly in 2019. The seller then hired a well respected marine surveyor to inspect the hull.
The surveyor identified a 12"x10" section of delamination on the starboard hull side under the area where the rub rail was repaired. The interior and exterior gelcoat show little to no signs of flexing or cracking, however percussion identified the area in question. The yard that repaired the rub rail in 2019 did not identify or correct the area of delamination, and has since gone out of business.
The surveyor also felt that the stern repairs needed some additional attention as well.
The surveyor does not believe these areas are structural in nature, but recommends that they be properly repaired. A copy of the hull survey is available to potential buyers.
The forward V-berth is roomy and comfortable and is fully air conditioned. Above the berth is a large opening hatch for natural ventilation. Walking aft, to port is a large head area. The head features a separate shower stall and plenty of storage. Moving aft there is a convertible bench seat to starboard and a large dinette to port. The dinette can seat four, and can be converted to a double berth with the included filler cushions. The salon is fully air conditioned. Aft of the dinette, there is a compact nav station with pop-up seating and a double quarter berth. To starboard is a well-equipped galley with expandable counter space, deep sink, storage and under counter refrigeration.
The Galley is massive for a trailerable 32' sailboat. There is plenty of space for food prep, doing dishes, and food storage.

Seaward 32RK (Raised Keel) - Keel winch upgrade
Thread starter lindsaytodd
Start date Jan 25, 2022
Forums for All Owners
Trailer Sailors
lindsaytodd
I have a 2002 Hake Seaward 32RK and am looking to replace the keep winch and install a new remote switch in the cockpit to replace the original pull-strings. Appears that the original model (Rule T20S) has been discontinued. Does anyone out there have experience with replacing the Keel winch on a Hake Seaward 32RK? Thanks in advance... Lindsay
@lindsaytodd , I'm not lucky enough to have a 32RK (great boat, by the way). But eTrailers.com recommends the Hawse Fairlead - 2,500 as the replacement for that model, on a trailer. Might be worth looking at. Harbor Freight also has a good selection of winches.
Thanks Tedd, I will take a look at this one. I see it has the synthetic rope so I will need to check if it will run in the same pulley system for raising the keel. Will also check the size as space is tight as you can see in the attached picture. I recently bought a Harbor Freight 2500 winch for raising the mast and it works great and comes with a wired remote and wireless remote. I've thought about using it but would rather find a "marine grade" unit. I'm also looking at a Marine grade Endurance EMD2000SS ($367 at Northern Tool). It looks good, but will need to purchase a separate remote system. Sounds like I'm on the right trail... Many thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for the photo and diagram of the winch system. I'm quite keen on the Seawards, especially the keel system, so it's nice to see some detail on how it works. The 26RK is on my short list. The only thing I'm not thrilled about is the interior space and headroom, which are just a bit less than I want. The 32RK would be perfect in that regard, but it's outside my price range and also a little too big, I think, for regular towing and launching.
HI again Tedd, looks like you are between boats just now? What have you had? What are you looking for? I also see you are in Vancouver... I have not sailed in your area but have chartered many boats out of Anacortes up into the Gulf Islands and Sunshine Coast. It is beautiful up there! Maybe I can get back up there sometime if this Covid thing ever goes away. I am fortunate to find a 32RK that I could afford. Some History: I purchased my first sailboat, a 1972 Catalina 27 in 1995, got 2-foot-itis and in 2003 moved up to a 1978 C&C 36KCB (Keel-Centerboard). Sailed it from Tacoma, WA down the coast and up the Columbia River thru 4 dams (9-day trip) to Port Kelley, WA. I put many $$$ into it over the first 10 years and got lots of enjoyment on her. Everytime she needed bottom paint and maintainance, it was a 4-5 day trip down to Portland, OR (each way). Last year she was needing more $$$ than I cared to put into her so I sold her cheap and started looking for a smaller boat, possibly trailerable, that is easier to handle solo. I have a friend that has a 1995 Seaward 25 that I was pretty impressed with, so started my research. I came to the same conclusions you did on interior size. It was going to be pretty hard downsizing from a 36' to 25'/26/ Seaward. Then I found there were two Seaward 32's on the market in the NW. I test sailed a 2013 Seaward 32RK in Seattle and was really impressed. It feels like it has the same room as my old C&C 36 (with less storage) and she handled really nice. I could handle all the sails myself from the cockpit. Only issue was price... So I drove to look at a 2002 Seaward 32RK in the middle of Farm country in Oregon. This boat was older, but has been stored in a shop since 2007, so she looks brand new... and was $50K less $$. So we made a deal and now she is at the boat yard getting prepped for this summer in the San Juan Islands.
Hi @lindsaytodd , I started sailing a Bombardier 3.8 as a kid, self taught, and then a sailboard. But I didn't sail at all from my mid twenties until nearly sixty. Busy doing other things. In 2017 we bought a Macgregor 26S classic. I probably would have bought something a little bigger--maybe a Hunter 260--but my wife wasn't at all sure she was going to like sailing, so we bought something cheap that I could be happy sailing on my own if it turned out she didn't like it. As it turns out, she does like sailing, so w've sold the Mac and are looking for something more comfortable. I'm retired now so we can do some longer trips. There are only two things keeping me out of a Seaward 32RK. One is price, but I could actually stretch to that price level if everything else was perfect. But I also feel that the 32RK is just a bit too big for the kind of trailer sailing we do. We keep the boat at home and tow and launch it every time we sail. We do generally go for multiple days at a time, so the time spend launching and rigging the boat is "amortized" over several days of sailing. But, even so, my sense is that the 32RK is just a bit too big and heavy for that kind of operation. And, as I said before, the 26RK is just a bit too small. Again, if it were just me, then the 26RK would be fine. But it feels a bit small inside for two people to spend, say, a couple of weeks on. For a long time the boat at the top of my short list was the Hunter 260. But I've recently decided to up my budget so I'm now looking at some other boats that I had previously rejected as being too expensive. I'm looking very closely at a couple of models from TES, in Poland. TES has a Canadian distributor and I've talked to a couple of TES owners here who are very happy with their boats. TES makes a range of trailerable boats from about 24' up to 28' that are all cruising oriented, with galleys, heads (and marine toilets), good headroom (more than 5'8" even on the smallest boats), and European-style A-frame mast-raising systems. I still think the Hunter is a great boat but the TES boats have a couple of features I really like that the Hunter lacks, including "walk arounds," which I've decided is something I really want. I was advised by the TES 28 owner I talked to that the 28 is probably too big for regular towing and launching. Not so much the boat itself, which he says launches fairly easily. But the mast is heavy enough that it's a chore to rig and stow, even with the excellent mast-raising system. But I'm looking very closely at the other models.
Tedd said: Hi @lindsaytodd , I started sailing a Bombardier 3.8 as a kid, self taught, and then a sailboard. But I didn't sail at all from my mid twenties until nearly sixty. Busy doing other things.

lindsaytodd said: Thanks Tedd, I will take a look at this one. I see it has the synthetic rope so I will need to check if it will run in the same pulley system for raising the keel. Will also check the size as space is tight as you can see in the attached picture. I recently bought a Harbor Freight 2500 winch for raising the mast and it works great and comes with a wired remote and wireless remote. I've thought about using it but would rather find a "marine grade" unit. I'm also looking at a Marine grade Endurance EMD2000SS ($367 at Northern Tool). It looks good, but will need to purchase a separate remote system. Sounds like I'm on the right trail... Many thanks for the suggestion! Click to expand
Hey, thanks for the response. The new winch is getting installed with deck foot switches at the mast and a toggle switch at the helm. Also just found that the fuel tank had several minor leaks... ... so putting ordering a new tank. Even though this boat was stored inside most its life, condensate sat in the bottom of the tank and corroded the aluminum. BTW... your 32RK looks beatiful!
Thank you! Are you going to replace with the standard 20 gal tank or enlarge capacity? or a 2 cell system. I really wish we had a larger fuel cell so no on deck jerry cans are needed. We have so many 32RK mods here and if you want we can share them with you. As ours is stored at our home so I'm tinkering with projects between trips. Next project starting solar arch with davits & mast crutch support so we can remove the aft pole support.. You can contact any time as we 32RK owners need to collaborate. Jeff 602-571-6750

We also have a plan to sail the San Jauns but in a few years, as we are getting prepared to cruise the Sea Of Cortes in October. We will look forward to hearing your story's. I had the companion way doors as we have such extreme temp swing here in the desert and nates come summer so we go from screen to lexan. As weather permits the doors lift off and store in the V-birth. we can still utilize the drop boards if needed. The dorade guards we made here out of some scrap tubing given to us (buddies with lots of 316). We still need the bungee so the jib sheets don't get caught on the keel stem as we often sail with only 1/2 the keel in the water. Enjoy you new to you craft! Fair winds Jeff [email protected]

Seaward 32RK: Owner/sailer feedback?
We have a Seaward 25 and strongly considered getting a 32rk (got a Catalina 350 instead, but still also have the Seaward 25).
