The Seaward Fox is a trailer sailer designed by Nick Hake and first built in 1993.[1][2] The Fox is a development of the 1981 Slipper 17.[1][2][3][4] It was built by Hake Yachts in the United States, from 1993 until 2007, but it is now out of production.[1][2][5][6]
The Seaward Fox is built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig or unstayed catboat rig with a tall mast, an optional bowsprit, a nearly plumb stem, a slightly angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed shoal-draft wing keel. It displaces 1,350 lb (612 kg) and carries 450 lb (204 kg) of ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 1.58 ft (0.48 m) with the standard keel.[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 four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on both sides just aft of the bow cabin. The galley is equipped with a stove to port and a sink to starboard. The head is located in the bow cabin, centered aft, under the "V"-berth. Cabin headroom is 51 in (130 cm).[2]
The design has a hull speed of 5.4 kn (10.0 km/h).[2]
