Frans Maas Hawk 42 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until October 27, 2025. Frans Maas Hawk 42 – Classic sailing yacht with seaworthy characteristics Design and construction The Hawk 42 is a design by the renowned Dutch yacht designer Frans Maas. This specific specimen, hull number 249, was built in 1970 at Frans Maas' shipyard in Breskens. The Hawk 42 was originally designed for participation in the Fastnet Race, one of the most challenging offshore sailing races. The design features a semi S-frame hull shape, an overhanging bow and stern, and a low, streamlined superstructure. These classic lines give the vessel a timeless appearance that still garners much appreciation from enthusiasts of traditional sailing yachts. With a length of 12.62 meters, a beam of 3.62 meters, and a draft of 2.08 meters, the Hawk 42 offers a balanced combination of speed, stability, and comfort. The air draft is 19.50 meters, making the vessel suitable for both inland waters and open sea. The hull is made of polyester, contributing to the structural strength and durability of the ship.

Interior and accommodation Inside, the Hawk 42 offers a classic and functional layout, focused on seaworthiness and comfort during longer voyages. The headroom is 2 meters, providing ample freedom of movement. There are four fixed berths and two additional berths available, distributed in a traditional layout with seaworthy bunks. The woodwork is solidly executed and tailored for use in heavier conditions. The galley is equipped with a stove, oven, refrigerator, and mattresses. For sanitation, there is a manual toilet with direct discharge into open water. The water tank has a capacity of 300 liters. A hot air heating system is installed for added comfort during colder sailing days. Sail plan and rigging The Calypso, as this ship is named, features a cutter rig with four sails: a mainsail, genoa, jib, and spinnaker. The headsails are equipped with a Furlex furling system and UV protection. The mainsail is partially battened and has three reefs. The sails were supplied in 2019 by Zwaan Sails from Lelystad. The sheets are operated from the cockpit via four winches, making the ship suitable for both single-handed sailing and crewed voyages. The sailing characteristics of the Hawk 42 are focused on performance and control. At wind force 3 to 4, the ship starts to heel, then stabilizes on the helm. Downwind, it is possible to steer a comfortable course using a boom (two present). In higher wind forces, reefing can be done without significant loss of speed. Propulsion and technical equipment The Hawk 42 is equipped with a Perkins inboard diesel engine with a power of 55 hp, distributed over four cylinders. The engine starts electrically and has an average consumption of 3.5 liters per hour. The cruising speed is around 10 km/h, with a maximum speed of 12 km/h. The engine is operational and is supported by gauges such as a fuel tank gauge, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, and tachometer. In terms of electricity, the ship is equipped with a battery charger, alternator, inverter, and shore power connection. The onboard voltage is 12V. Navigation equipment includes a depth sounder, GPS, chart plotter, compass, log/speedometer, VHF radio, radar, and wind meter. Deck equipment and safety The deck has a teak deck that requires attention. The equipment further includes a sprayhood, pulpit and pushpit, fenders and lines, a lifeline, and a swim ladder. For anchoring, there is a manual anchor windlass with chain. The cockpit is self-draining, enhancing safety in rough conditions. A manual bilge pump is available for emergencies. History and usage Since October 2021, the Calypso has been stored in a covered shed at the shipyard. The current owner is the third in the ship's history. Both the first and current owners have used the ship for longer sea voyages and leisure sailing, with destinations such as the English South Coast, French coast, Channel Islands, Denmark, and Sweden. The ship has mainly been used on inland waters and seas. Maintenance has been carried out by the shipyard, with invoices available. There are no signs of osmosis detected. Sailing experience and seaworthiness The Calypso is known for its stable sailing behavior, even in heavier weather conditions. The spacious cockpit and wide side decks contribute to safety and comfort on deck. The sailing characteristics make the ship suitable for both sporty trips and relaxing holidays. The combination of classic lines, functional layout, and seaworthy performance makes the Hawk 42 a striking presence on the water.
