Buy the Hawley F140 Racing Yacht Plans Now!




The Hawley F140 is a 14 metre super fast, style machine, designed for optimum sailing in anything up to 20- 25 knots of air, preferably in flat water or steady state sea. Key design features include Exo-scooped self-draining cockpit, Reverse Bow, Canting Keel, Batwings and sting-ray hull profile to provide all the alluring attributes of a super car.

I’m offering the opportunity to purchase the right to build from the plans, a Hawley F140, created by a team of world renowned marine experts with extensive design and engineering experience in design programmes for Americas Cup Class yachts, Super yachts, and Volvo 70’s amongst a host of others.

Your liaison will be concept creator, Andrew Hawley, who has engaged a team that includes Kevin Dibley of Dibley Marine (design development and marine architecture – http://www.dibleymarine.com/), High Modulus (structural engineering - http://www.high-modulus.com/ - structural engineers to Emirates Team New Zealand), Applied Engineering Services Limited (Principal: Chris Mitchell - rig design and engineering – 2007 member of rig design team for Emirates Team New Zealand) and Weta Workshop (http://www.wetaworkshop.co.nz - 2 metre miniature yacht replica – Weta were special effects wizards behind movies such as Lord of The Rings, King Kong, Master And Commander )

Obviously I’d love to be able to complete the design phase of this project and build the yacht myself, but a yacht of this size and performance pedigree requires an elite team of experienced designers to ensure resolve the design is both ultra fast and fast – hence the team above has been assembled.
