Winter Hawk Lug Rig
Description
The Winter Hawk (also spelled Winterhawk) is a 15-foot plywood daysailer designed by Ken Swan. It is offered as plans for amateur builders, with a focus on simple, traditional construction using plywood panels (ply panel sides and bottom) and basic framing. No series production occurred; it is a homebuilt design with an unknown but modest number of hulls completed, popular among wooden boat enthusiasts for its classic lines and ease of building. The boat emphasizes affordable, lightweight construction suitable for protected or coastal waters, with options for different rigs including a sprit rig variant.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
