2010 Hake Seaward 32RK — Finest Example Available, Turnkey and Ready to Sail
I built the first 32RK with a very specific mission in mind: a boat that could explore the vast, shallow flats of south Florida and then confidently cross sixty miles of open ocean to the Bahamas and Abacos. The variable retracting keel and rudder make that possible — draft ranges from 20 inches up to 6 feet 6 inches, so I can anchor on a deserted beach and walk ashore, then put the keel down for offshore stability and upwind performance. Designer and builder Nick Hake told me the only way this boat would improve is if it were brand new.
I kept her meticulously maintained in Maine through 2021 and have waxed her regularly since. For the past year and a half she has been in dry storage and shows considerably newer than her age. Fresh bottom paint has been applied, and the 2010 triple-axle trailer received new tires and hydraulic brake service in 2023 and has been stored out of the sun.
KEY FEATURES:
- Variable retracting keel and rudder — draft adjusts from 20 inches to 6 feet 6 inches with a lead-ballasted torpedo bulb at the tip, giving genuine offshore capability and true shoal-water access in the same boat.
-
- New North Sails G2 gennaker and fully battened mainsail — performance-rigged for lighter Florida air, easily reefed from the cockpit in offshore conditions; halyards are in excellent condition and a new Strong Track was fitted in 2025.
-
- Dry storage for 1.5 years — the boat has been kept out of the water and shows well above its age; accommodations sleep six comfortably with eight opening ports and two deck hatches keeping the cabin bright and ventilated.

Logistics are forcing the sale. The premise that lead us to build the first 32RK arose from our desire to have a boat that would suit the water geography of south Florida, where we have vast expanses of quietly beautiful, but extremely shallow water. Our premise became more complex when we also wanted our boat to take us comfortably and confidently across sixty or so miles of open ocean, across the Gulfstream to the Bahamas and Abacos. Once to the islands, shallow draft would again be an important plus. That thinking lead us to the 32RK. The 32RK may be the perfect boat for sailors everywhere wanting to get out of the marked channel and into quieter and less traveled waters, but at the same time, don?t want to give up the stability and confidence that a deep keeled boat offers when venturing offshore She?s a wonderful fast cruiser even more compelling when you consider the possibilities offered by the variable retracting keel and rudder. Draft range is between 20? and 6? 6?, making it possible to walk to shore from your boat without getting your shorts wet. And with the keel down (there?s a lead ballasted torpedo-style bulb at the keel?s lower tip), you can go almost anywhere. The possibilities are endless. For details on how the keel system functions, see our ?keel system? page on this website. Aside from its obvious versatility, the 32RK is a fine sailboat. She?s sized perfectly for two couples, or for a family with small children. Her cockpit is large and comfortable, side decks are wide and secure and she?s designed to be easily handled and sailed by one. Below decks, accommodations are comfortable and intelligently planned , whether for sleeping, sitting and reading, cooking or showering. There?s room for four adults and their gear for vacation cruising. The cabin is bright and well ventilated, with eight opening ports and two deck hatches. Like all true thoroughbreds, the 32RK always has performance potential in reserve, but is never demanding. It's a performance/cruiser at its best: total exhilaration when you want it, calm and steady when you don't. Just lower the foils a bit to dial in more stability, and more upwind performance, and draw them up when you want to get off the boat and stretch your legs on a deserted beach.
