The Seaward 26 RK (Retractable Keel) is a performance-oriented pocket cruiser designed by Nick Hake to solve the age-old conflict between deep-water stability and shallow-water accessibility. Unlike traditional centerboarders that utilize a pivoting plate with a fixed shoal keel, the 26 RK features a vertically retracting foil that lifts the entire primary ballast. This design allows the vessel to transition from a formidable 6-foot draft to a mere 15 inches at the touch of a button. Originally produced by Hake Yachts in Stuart, Florida, and later consolidated under the Hake Marine umbrella alongside Island Packet Yachts, the 26 RK remains one of the most technologically ambitious trailerable sailboats ever brought to the mass market.
