Production
The design was built by Hake Yachts of Stuart, Florida starting in 1985. The company later re-located to Largo, Florida, United States and was renamed the Starboard Yacht Company, when they bought out Island Packet Yachts. The Seaward 22 is now out of production.[1][2][3]
Design
The Seaward 22 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim.[1]
The boat has a fractional sloop rig, a plumb stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel with a centerboard. It has six round portholes in the coach house.[1]
The design displaces 2,200 lb (998 kg) and carries 750 lb (340 kg) of ballast.[1]
The boat has a draft of 3.42 ft (1.04 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.92 ft (0.59 m) with it retracted, allowing ground transportation on a trailer.[1]
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1]
Operational history
The design was included in Cruising World's 1989 Year's Newest Cruising Boats. The accompanying review said, "the design premise behind the latest offering from Florida's Starboard Yacht Company was to make maximum use of space on a small yacht of minimal length, in this case 22 feet. The result is the neat little Seaward 22. A plumb stem to stretch the waterline and a healthy beam of 8'4" ensured a hull of generous lines and internal volume that designer Nicholas Hake used to full advantage. A private forward cabin with full sitting headroom contains a 7'4" V-berth (enclosing the head). The main cabin houses two 6'6" berths and nifty galley arrangement ... the Seaward 22's middle name might well be "versatile." It's a boat that will feel right at home in waters deep or shallow whether just down the street or on the other side of the country."[2]
