For more than thirty years, Nick Hake owned and operated a highly successful sailboat building business in Stuart FL. The company was Hake Yachts, and the boats produced were Seaward Yachts.  Since Nick retired and sold Hake Yachts, the company is still going strong under new ownership, building and selling the boats Nick designed and refined over the years.  Nick was a hands-on owner then and is now as owner of NH Designs, a company providing brokerage, transport, repair and consultation to the

sail and power boating community across the country.


Nick's goal at NH Designs is to make his customers the beneficiary  of the knowledge and experience he gained while designing, building and selling boats.
