1993 - ??

The initial search results provide a good amount of information to start. I can confirm:

  • Designer: Nick Hake
  • Builder: Hake Yachts / Seaward
  • Production start: 1993
  • Purpose: Pocket cruiser, trailerable sailboat.
  • The notes in mentions "First offered with unstayed cat rig." Search results confirm some were cat-rigged and some were fractional sloops (like the). This is a good point for the History section.
  • Interior: Limited information directly in results, but YouTube videos and Pinterest suggest some visual information, though I can't "watch" or "see" them. Result states "The cabin interior is a lacking". This suggests a basic interior.
  • Performance/Handling: "designed for the shallow waters of Florida but is right at home on inland lakes and rivers." "beautiful sea worthy pocket cruiser".
  • Owner's perspective: Mentions of owner reviews and forums.

I have enough information to construct the article, including the optional "Owner's Perspectives" section. I will avoid using ratios as the boat is under 30 feet.

I will structure the article according to the instructions.

I will craft the introduction, history, performance, accommodations, and owner's perspective sections based on the gathered information. I need to make sure I interpret the data and search results, rather than just listing them. I'll pay close attention to the citations.
