This 1998 Seaward Eagle is located in Cape Coral, FL and is A Lovely Sailboat!!! Wing Keel, Spacious Interior, Low Maintenance !!!
Nice roomy salon and V-berth forward.
The Seaward Eagle is a shoal-draft fast cruiser with none of the compromises usually made with shoal draft designs. The 3’6” draft on this well-built 32 Seaward Eagle makes her a great solid cruiser able to sneak into bays and anchorages few others would dare.
It is a strong and beautiful cruising sailboat. She is meticulously maintained and upgraded to look and perform like a much newer boat.
She was designed and built by Hake Yachts in Stuart. Florida.
This boat is stiff, fast, and strong. She can make comfortable deep-water passages as well as sail worry-free in less than four feet of water - perfect for Florida, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean as well as the ICW.
To make all this work, they started with an easily driven hull form. Broad shoulders carried well aft create hull-form stability and relieve the keel of some of the work of holding the boat up in a blow.
This boat is built light and strong, with careful engineering and lightweight modern materials. Low wetted surface and low center of gravity are designed in. Underwater, she has a long slippery keel that adds, rather than detracts from her easily driven philosophy.
Above decks, her medium aspect rig provides generous horsepower, with full battened full roach main and large fore-triangle genoa, while keeping weight aloft and center of effort low.
The same thoughtful engineering that makes her fast under sail makes her fast under power. She is equipped with a 28HP Westerbeke diesel.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Available also with a retractable keel. BALLAST 2500; Draft 1.67’ to 6.5’.
