1977 Hardin Sea Wolf Masthead Ketch

A 40-foot masthead ketch built by Hardin in 1977, this boat is designed for serious ocean cruising. The Sea Wolf hull is known for robust construction and reliable seaworthiness, with the proven stability and handling of a ketch rig. The traditional design combines strength with generous beam to maximize interior volume and comfort underway.

The boat is powered by a Ford Lehman diesel engine and features one head. The ketch configuration provides practical sail handling and good balance for extended passages, with the flexibility to reduce sail quickly in heavy weather. The full-displacement hull design gives the boat the characteristics needed for sustained blue-water work.

This is a straightforward cruising design that prioritizes durability and practicality over contemporary styling. The Sea Wolf was built to be capable and self-sufficient, with the traditional proportions and seakeeping qualities that define the classic ocean cruiser category.
