If you love to sail, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to buy this like new, bright and clean Seaward 26RK with classic lines that turns heads at dock and under sail. It comes with all equipment and accessories, ready to sail away to new adventures as soon as you put her in water.
She is a delight to sail. With an electric retracting keel controlled from the cockpit, you can sail in shallow (15) as well as deep offshore waters. It sails close to the wind and has good speed. She is also comfortable, stable and functional with wheel steering and an inboard Yanmar 2YM15 diesel engine with less than 50 hours, an electric windlass and a roller-furling genoa. On deck, things are uncomplicated and user-friendly. Sail control lines all lead to the cockpit, and side decks are wide and secure.
Her cockpit has seating for 5 plus two catbird seats, an open transom and boarding ladder. The cabin has a forward double v-berth with privacy curtains, an overhead hatch for ventilation, 8 stainless steel opening ports with screens, a private head with door and wand shower, twin settees, a drop-down center table and a functional galley with a stove, sink, pressurized fresh water, good countertop space, and an insulated ice box.
Because of the retracting keel and width of the beam, she is also trailerable and comes with a Magic-Tilt Trailer of galvanized steel with surge disc brakes.
We purchased her brand new, loaded with most available extras and options, and she’s been very lightly used and only in fresh water on Lake Champlain. During winters, she was stored in a boathouse. She’s in excellent condition and has been well-maintained. Unfortunately, we rarely found time to sail in our short summers due to work and personal obligations, and our plans have now changed. Our loss could be your gain!

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)
LOD: 25.42’
Rudder is retractable.
Towing weight is 6,000 lbs.
Optional Yanmar Diesel available.
Seaward boats are built at the Island Packet facility.
