2013 Hake / Seaward 26RK

The Seaward 26RK is a distinctive sailing yacht defined by its adjustable keel and rudder system. Both the keel and rudder move vertically, allowing draft to be adjusted from 15 inches to 6 feet depending on water depth and sailing conditions. The keel is electrically controlled from the cockpit and features a lead ballast bulb at its tip for stability. This design combines the performance advantages of a high-aspect-ratio keel with genuine shallow-water capability and trailering practicality—a versatility uncommon in sailboats of this size.

Below deck, the yacht accommodates two adults and two children with a V-berth, cabin space that is bright and straightforward, eight opening ports, and a deck hatch. The design prioritizes comfort and livability for families or couples seeking extended cruising. On deck, the layout is clean and manageable, with sail control lines led to the cockpit and wide, secure side decks that make handling straightforward.

The 26RK sails efficiently in both deep and shallow waters, standing up well to its sail plan with good speed and pointing ability. She remains stable underway and at rest, and her shallow-draft capability makes her equally at home in protected anchorages and open water. The boat is constructed in fiberglass and designed for easy trailering and setup without compromising performance or seaworthiness.
