The 29' Crosby Hawk has served for years as a rugged, dependable, Cape Cod built boat. Her reputation for stability, economy and quality has impressed owners from Alaska to the Bahamas.
Her 12' 6" beam is nearly 3' wider than similar length boats.

The current owner kept her in the Northern Neck and gave her the second refit including removal of all wood and replaced with Corecell, epoxy beams, plastic under the sole, and various other upgrades and improvements.
Some of these upgrades and improvements include:
- Original engine replaced in 2008
- Fusion sound system and cockpit speakers
- All wood from bulkhead forward replaced with Corecell foam & epoxy beams in foredeck, and plastic under the sole
- All new plumbing
- All electrical connections have been replaced
