The Seaward 24 is a recreational keelboat[1][2] built by Hake Yachts in the United States, starting in 1984, but it is now out of production.[1][2][3][4]
The Seaward 24 is built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a plumb stem, a slightly angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel with a retractable centerboard. It displaces 3,100 lb (1,406 kg) and carries 1,100 lb (499 kg) of lead ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 3.50 ft (1.07 m) with the centerboard extended and 2.00 ft (0.61 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.[1][2]
The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a straight settee berth in the main cabin plus a convertible double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove, an icebox and a sink, with a refrigerator optional. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side. Cabin headroom is 60 in (152 cm).[1][2]
For sailing the design may be equipped with a jib, storm jib or 150% genoa.[2]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 261 and a hull speed of 6.3 kn (11.7 km/h).[2]
