Seaward Fox Buyer's Guide
The Seaward Fox is a Nick Hake–designed trailer sailer built by Hake Yachts from 1993 through 2007, now out of production. On the used market it draws buyers who want a light, ramp-launched cruiser with a real cabin, not a daysailer. At 19 feet 9 inches with an 8-foot beam and a 1.58-foot shoal wing keel, it sits on a trailer between trips.
Layouts on the Used Market
Every Fox shares the same core arrangement: sleeping for four, with a bow double V-berth and two settee berths in the main cabin. The head is tucked under the V-berth, and the galley is split with stove to port and sink to starboard just aft of the bow. A deep self-bailing cockpit seats two. Some boats left the factory with the fractional sloop rig, others with the tall unstayed cat rig; the cat’s 33-foot bridge clearance is a real consideration for storage or transit under fixed bridges, while the sloop clears 8 feet less.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Brokers’ listings commonly show a hardtop, cockpit shower, radar, and chartplotter on Fox boats offered in the United States. For a buyer, the hardtop extends sheltered cockpit use, while radar and chartplotter represent navigational upgrades that matter more than cosmetic additions on a small coastal cruiser. The cockpit shower supports rinse-down after a ramp launch. The freestanding carbon-fiber mast and optional bowsprit are original-design elements rather than aftermarket add-ons.
What to Inspect
Test sailors noted the wing keel's modest fins leave her sagging off the wind more than peer boats when air is soft, a handling trait rooted in the hull form rather than wear. Because it is a trailer sailer with an outboard motor, check the transom and motor well for stress from repeated launch cycles. The solid fiberglass hull with wood trim should be examined for gelcoat and trim condition; the rotating freestanding mast’s deck bearing and internal sliding tube deserve a close look for wear that could affect rig security.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats are typically found in the United States. For a shopper, the Fox rewards a buyer who values quick rigging and a roomy cabin over upwind performance.
- Confirm rig type and bridge clearance before committing to a storage or transit plan
- Inspect transom, motor well, and mast bearing for trailer-launch wear
- Verify galley, head, and berth layout match your cruising needs
- Expect commonly fitted hardtop, cockpit shower, radar, and chartplotter as listed extras
