This is what some of the sailing journals have
said about the Hawk 20 day boat.
Practical Boat Owner Test (March 1993 By Dave Greenwell)
"In force 7, gusting force 8...common sense suggested we put in a reef.
Frankly it made little difference to her speed so we took it out...just after
that she went on the plane and clocked 12 knots."

Yachts & Yachting Test (Dec 1992 By Peter Bentley)
"Construction is of a universally high quality in terms both of materials
and manufacture." "...the Hawk makes a real step forward in Dayboat
design. Rarely has the Yachts & Yachting test team been more impressed by
a truly new design."

Sailing Today Test Report (April 2001)
"Her fine entry, the stiffness of the boat and the aerofoil rudder
section work together to provide excellent close-hauled performance. Hove-to
she lies comfortably across the wind making only a half-knot of drift. On all
points of sailing we found her to be well balanced with enough weather helm to
give positive control of the tiller, and if you let everything go she rounds up
without a problem."

Yachting Monthly's Report (November 1993)
"Of all the boats at the rally, the Hawk was the biggest, fastest, best
thought out and most suited to knockabout costal day cruising... She is
arguably the Rolls Royce of day-boats in terms of design, construction,
fittings and performance, and justifies her price with her quality... She is a
delightful boat to handle. All the gear is very powerful and easily handled
and the helm is well balanced. She showed a clean pair of heels to all the
other boats."
