Seaward 32RK
Sailboat class
The Seaward 32RK is a recreational keelboat. It is also sometimes called the Hake 32RK. It was built by Hake Yachts in the United States, starting in 2006, but it is now out of production.
Design
The Seaward 32RK is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, with a bowsprit; a plumb stem; a vertical, walk-through transom; a lifting, transom-hung rudder controlled by a wheel and a lifting keel with a weighted bulb, actuated by an electric winch. It displaces 8,300 lb (3,765 kg) and carries 2,400 lb (1,089 kg) of ballast.
The walk-through transom has a swimming ladder and a hot and cold shower.
The boat has a draft of 6.42 ft (1.96 m) with the keel extended and 1.67 ft (0.51 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 3YM30 29 hp (22 kW) diesel engine for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 65 U.S. gallons (250 L; 54 imp gal).
The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a U-shaped dinette table that forms a double berth and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side.
