RED HAWK

In our Brokers Opinion, for her age “Red Hawk” is pretty much flawless and well worth her Asking Price. A considerable sum has been spent on refurbishment and maintenance by the current Owner which will be of immense benefit and valu to the next lucky owner.

• 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
• Commercially coded in 2023, RORC Keel/Rudder and Gas Certification for 2025.
• Recent race highlights include: JOG Class 2 2024 – 2nd in Deauville Race, 3rd in St Peter Port Race. RORC De Guingand 2025 1st Beneteau overall, 7th in class 4.  JOG 2025 – 3rd in Class 2 Eastbourne to Cowes
