Red Hawk is a pre-loved, versatile, high specification Beneteau 36.7, she is competitive under IRC with a 2025 endorsed IRC rating of 0.996. Originally named Red Arrow and owned by the RAF. She was rebranded Red Hawk in 2018, retaining her heritage with the jets and roundel graphics.
A rare example of a genuine Cruiser Racer, ready to race offshore or inshore competitively in JOG / RORC or club races or cruise in style and comfort (while still being able to sail fast!) with family and friends.
Racing spec includes North 3Di Raw Main, North 3Di Raw No.2 Genoa, North Helix Code zero, North A2, A4, A6 Asymmetric kites. Hyde Carbon No.3/Heavy Weather Jib. All in good condition. Premium quality running rigging , including new (2025) spinnaker halyards and backstay cascade. High Spec Facnor Flat deck tape furler.
Cruising Sails include a Hyde laminate main, Hyde laminate furling No.2 and Swift Gennaker with Facnor Carbon furler
Top Specification Electronics, B&G H5000 Hydra Pack, B&G Zeus S- plotter and navigation system, B&G companionway and masthead displays, Skylink WIFI and Satellite system
Red mainsail cover for race sails and stackpack sail bag / lazy jacks for cruising.
Windlass, Sprayhood, autohelm, fridge, Hot Water, Eberspacher heating and 2 aft cabins all add to cruising comfort and versatility
The specification of the sails / running rigging and extras such as the autohelm would constitute an upgrade on what Beneteau would offer on a new First 36.
Red Hawk has been significantly renewed – hull and deck re-fit, standing rigging, replacement D1 30 Volvo Penta engine and a keel matrix rebuild. The result is a stronger boat, comparable to a much newer yacht
Safety gear includes 8 man ISO Lalizas race liferaft (new for 2023) , Garmin AIS 800, EPIRB, jackstays, boarding ladder, 2 Lifebuoys, Offshore Danbuoy, Ocean Safety MOB Sling
