The Seaward 24 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Nick Hake as a cruiser and first built in 1984.
It has a fractional sloop rig, a plumb stem, a slightly angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel with a retractable centerboard.
[2] In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "... the accommodations plan of the Seaward 24 shows both a gimballed stove with oven and space for a refrigerator (though ... a refrigerator is somewhat impractical on an outboard powered sailboat because of the electrical drain on the batteries, which would require many hours of charging with the noise and smell of a running engine).
Best features: Her relatively low freeboard and springy sheer give the Seaward 24 a sleek and salty look, as if she is ready for whatever challenges the sea might bring to her.
She is well-built to boot, and with her generous sailplan and long waterline for her size has a better than even chance of satisfying the requirements of experienced sailors.
