The Seaward 25 is a recreational keelboat[1][2] built by Hake Yachts of Stuart, Florida starting in 1984, with 600 boats completed before production ended. The company later re-located to Largo, Florida, United States and was renamed the Starboard Yacht Company, when they bought out Island Packet Yachts.[1][2][3]
The Seaward 25 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig with aluminum spars. The hull has plumb stem and a plumb transom, with a transom-hung rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 3,600 lb (1,633 kg) and carries 1,200 lb (544 kg) of ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 2.08 ft (0.63 m) with the standard shoal draft keel fitted or 4.17 ft (1.27 m) with the deep "bluewater" keel.[1][2][4]
The boat may be optionally fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 1 GM10 or Westerbeke 20B diesel inboard engine or a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a straight settee in the main cabin and an aft berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is angled and is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. The head is located on the starboard side and includes a hot water shower. Cabin headroom is 63 in (160 cm)[1][2]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 270 and a hull speed of 6.4 kn (11.9 km/h).[2]
