The Seaward 32RK is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, with a bowsprit; a plumb stem; a vertical, walk-through transom; a lifting, transom-hung rudder controlled by wheel and a lifting keel with a weighted bulb, actuated by an electric winch. It displaces 8,300 lb (3,765 kg) and carries 2,400 lb (1,089 kg) of ballast.
The walk-through transom has a swimming ladder and a hot and cold shower.
The boat has a draft of 6.42 ft (1.96 m) with the keel extended and 1.67 ft (0.51 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 3YM30 29 hp (22 kW) diesel engine for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 65 U.S. gallons (250 L; 54 imp gal).
The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V-berth in the bow cabin, a U-shaped dinette table that forms a double berth and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side.
The design has a hull speed of 7.41 kn (13.72 km/h).
The versatility of the retractable keel and rudder not only make her easy to trailer and anchor in protected shallow coves only a few feet deep and close to shore, but provide a surprising seaworthiness offshore. The Seaward 32RK is self-contained for ease of trailering and one couple can easily hoist the mast and launch the boat themselves with no need for a boatyard or extra help. The keel, with 2,200 pound lead torpedo, provides a 6-foot 6-inch draft fully extended, and retracts with an enclosed electric deck winch to a draft of only 20-inches. The mast is raised using the staysail halyard and a block and tackle system and the rudder retracts vertically into a cassette by just flipping a lever and lifting it up.
The interior has ample space, comfortable accommodations and the versatility for a couple to cruise alone or with friends. The bright interior is cozy and great for entertaining. Come take a look.
