Hmm, shall we really review the math here? Nah.

Just wanted to say I may be on the verge of making it a
triple play. Wish me luck!

Actually, since I need another boat like I need a hole in my
head, wishing me luck might make me not get it. So err..
don't... or something....

She'd be 'occulting' rather than 'flashing.'

Then it's too wide to be legal on any trailer.

Glad it worked out for you, Scout. They are great boats
that fit that particular
niche in which your were looking. Have you checked out the
Seaward message board
on Trailersailor.com? It's a very active and helpful
group. You can get all your
questions answered there by people who really know these
boats. Here's a little
Seaward trivia: Steve Boone, the bassist from the Lovin'
Spoonful, owns a
Seaward. Here's another little bit of trivia: The 26RK is
NOT a slug,
performance-wise . Considering that it is a trailer-sailer
designed more with
gunkholing and cruising in mind, it sails well, points
well, and is surprisingly
fast in a wide range of conditions. You will keep up with
a lot of
non-trailerable 30 footers.


But, does it have a big cockpit?

Very cool! I bet you all have a GREAT time sailing & exploring in this
boat. Congratulations!

Yay....especially now that we'll be at the same marina....Chanteuse is
going back in the last weekend of September...we're painting her bottom
next Saturday and I have to stuff all her accouterments back on (was
afraid of mildew over the summer...even with the moisture pots and fan)

Well then I'll see you too!
Are you using new software here? I seem to recall you being a top poster!

Nice looking boat! Did you find a used one or are you
buying new? Trailer? Wheel or tiller?
Did you sail one, how was it? Where are you going to
keep
her? What's the towing weight?
I see the beam is 8'4'', that's good!
Can't wait to see her,

Scotty


Thanks Scotty (and everyone else for the congrats!) I'm
high as a kite right
now and can't wait can't wait can't wait to get her in the
water!

This boat is perfect for me, sound enough for some coastal
adventures,
dainty enough for some serious gunkholing. Towing weight
is somewhere around
6K, per the current owner (not verified). But I'm pulling
with a Dodge Ram
2500, 5.9L so I'm not too worried. And, I'll probably keep
it in a slip for
much of the season. While I have my father around, I'll
probably keep it
near him (South Jersey shore). Eventually I'll replant in
the Chessy. In the
meantime, I'll be dropping her in and feeling my way
around in your waters.

Anyway, it's a 2004, here's the list of options provided:

Wheel steering
Lazy jack system
Trailer, galvanized steel, tandem axel, surge brakes
Yanmar diesel, 2GM20, 18 hp, heat exchanger cooled

ST40 Bidata Depth/Speed sounder with alarm, pedestal
mounted
ST40 Wind with masthead windvane, pedestal mounted
ST40 Compass, pedestal mounted
Standard Horizon Fixed VHF radio with masthead antennae
Standard Horizon RAM mic remote VHF in cockpit
Saturn compass
Ceramic marine head with holding tank
Origo single burner non-pressurized alcohol stove
Shore power, includes cable
Hawspipes, stainless
Stern rail with seats (cat perches, 2)
Cockpit cushions, closed cell foam, textalene fabric,
light beige color
Boarding ladder
Transom weatherboards, used to close transom when
necessary
Battery charger, 3 stage, 20 amp, 3 bank
Starting battery, group 24 with box
House battery, group 24 with box
Mast raising system
Mast crutch
Mainsail cover (navy blue)
Bottom paint
Bilge pump with ice box drain


Sounds really great! Where is she lying and how'd you find
her?

I was going to ask about the open stern, but now I see
you've got boards.

Does that mean that the ice box drains into the bilge?

Is there a manual back up for the dagger board?

Scotty

She's in the water, Ithaca, NY., on Lake Cayuga. I have been searching for
many months now, and have driven many many miles to look at boats that
didn't work for me. I zeroed in on this one and contacted the owner. We hit
it off and by coincidence, we're both former Starwind 19 (Precision) boat
owners. So (yesterday) I told the wife to grab a jacket and we'd go for a
ride. We got in the car and she said, "where to?" and I said, "Ithaca, New
York, it's only 8 hours round trip and I'd like to look at a sailboat
there." She called me an a--hole and then we went and bought a boat.

The ice box doesn't drain into the bilge, I believe it is pumped out but I
don't know the particular configuration just yet.

There is a manual system for the dagger board in case the elec winch fails.

I really dig that open stern. : )
