Overview
BLUE HAWKE was the sixth and last of the acclaimed Ted Hood designed Little Harbor 42’s to be built. These boats are unique in so many ways. First and perhaps foremost, the boats were designed to be easily sailed short-handed, literally single-handed, while seated at the wheel. BLUE HAWKE’s cockpit is designed and laid out such that all sailing functions lead aft to the helmsman. With one hand on the wheel, the helmsman can manage the self-tailing electric primary winches for handling headsails, bring the mainsail in or out with the Hood Stoway electric in-mast furling, or engage bow thruster, and windlassall without leaving the helm. The secondaries as well as primaries, all four winches on BLUE HAWKE, are electric self-tailers and placed perfectly right next to the wheel.
