The Hawk 20 is widely regarded as the "Rolls Royce of dayboats," a reputation earned through its uncompromising build quality and a design philosophy that prioritizes both high performance and extreme safety. Conceived by naval architect Chris Hawkins in the early 1990s and brought to life by Reid Marine, the boat was a response to a demanding brief: create a 20-foot seagoing vessel that is fast, unsinkable, and truly self-righting even with the keel fully raised. Since its debut at the 1993 Southampton Boat Show, it has become a staple of British coastal waters, appealing to families seeking security and racers looking for a one-design challenge. The vessel is available in two primary configurations: the open Dayboat, known for its massive cockpit, and the Cruiser (or "Lidded Hawk"), which adds a modest cabin for overnighting.
