Newbie here

Hi All,
Recently purchased a Seahawk. No name on boat atm. Will be sailing on Lough Derg 2023 fingers crossed. Some work required so may have to tap into extensive knowledge on this site. Thanks.

Congratulations!  I hope you don't have as much work as I've taken on for myself.   Will be worth it mind.  Perhaps with some photos, Gregg or another member could provide you with some history.  Best of luck!

Indeed, I will try to provide as much history as I can of any SeaHawk, but I only recall getting hints about an example in Ireland, through seeing a broker's advert for one, probably in 2005! The only reason I remember it was because it was accompanied by the photograph you see in the black bordered handbill you see at:

And the reason I remember it was because it was the first photo I'd seen of a SeaHawk with an "H" logo on the sail. It was only later I learnt of Isolde which, to date, is the only other example of which I know.

Thanks Greg. Really looking forward to getting it out on the water next Spring. Moving from a Laser. Seemed like the next step. I'll post pics as soon as I can figure how to compress them . No big jobs, just small jobs and probably will have to get new sails 2024. All manageable fingers crossed!

Thanks for the welcome Michael, looking forward to the challenge over these winter months, keep me out of mischief !
