Used Seaward 32 RK Sailboats for Sale

The Seaward 32 RK (Retractable Keel) represents a sophisticated intersection of performance cruising and extreme shallow-water capability. Designed by Nick Hake and originally produced by Hake Yachts before manufacturing moved to the Island Packet facility in Florida, this model is defined by its vertically retracting high-aspect keel and rudder system. Unlike traditional swing-keel designs that often sacrifice ballast positioning or create massive trunk obstructions in the cabin, the 32 RK utilizes a 1,500-pound lead-filled foil that moves vertically. This allows the vessel to transition from a deep-water draft of 6 feet 6 inches to a mere 20 inches, effectively opening up gunkholes and thin-water anchorages that are typically the exclusive domain of small catamarans or dinghies. The 32 RK is part of a lineage that includes its smaller sibling, the Hake 26RK, and the much larger offshore-ready 46 RK, all of which share the same philosophy of "boundaryless" cruising.
