The Seaward 26RK sailboat is a trailerable pocket cruiser with a retractable keel that allows sailors to explore and anchor in even the shallowest waters. Unlike many trailerable sailboats, the Seaward 26RK offers superior tracking characteristics thanks to her torpedo keel, which draws 6’ when fully deployed and can be retracted to as little as 2” of draft. She comes complete with a galvanized tandem trailer making it easy to move to sailing destinations from any boat launch. At the same time, she offers the convenience and comfort of a cruiser with sleeping accommodation for three adults, an equipped galley, porte-potty, and air conditioning. Mainsail is on the ready in a stack pack and a furling headsail for e-z single-hand sailing.The hallmark of the Seaward 26 RK sailboat design is its traditional tall plumb bow and and upward sloping cabintop highlighted by 6 stainless steel portholes and a large forward portlight. Intigraded into the design, navigation lights, cleat fairleads, toe rail, an anchor roller and a stainless steel band encircling the chemically and mechanically sealed hull-deck joint. Her hull construction is vinylester gelcoat, 1.5oz chop stranded mat and isophthalic polyester resin to ensure resin on both sides, then 40oz. triaxial cloth. Coremat was used in the flat runs of the hull to improve stiffness on the mostly solid glass hull. The interior pan is also solid fiberglass and vacuum-bonded while extra laminations were added in potentially high-stress areas including the keel trunk and hull deck joint. The deck is similarly laid up in the same method and is cored with Divinycell foam. 1/8" aluminum plates are bedded in the fiberglass lamination for deck hardware. Chainplates are fastened into a 3" wide stainless steel strap penetrates the coachroof and lead to the hull, where it attaches to stainless steel rods.The retractable 1,200-lb keel is a NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) designed, high aspect, 8' -long section with 26" wings attached to a torpedo bulb. Fully deployed she draws 6' and just 2' when lifted up. Controlling the keel is easy, controlled from the cockpit by a 2,000lb capacity Rule Industries 20SS electric motor housed below the maststep in a solid fiberglass box.
