The photo opposite is not Hal II but is a similar boat
Seaward's brochure describes the boat as:
“…the overriding thing about this boat is how solid it feels, it really feels as if it will punch through anything…” – (Nick Burnham for Motor Boat and Yachting)
Filled with character and capability, the Seaward 23 E20 motor cruiser is a sturdy, seagoing craft with traditional styling and accommodation for up to four people. Ideal for those new to boating as well as being popular with experienced sailors, the large, deep cockpit area and open backed wheelhouse make this vessel an ideal family cruiser and weekender.
With cross channel cruising in mind the specification was developed to include the option of twin shaft drive diesels with twin fuel tanks and twin battery systems. The deep 3/4 length keel with contra-rotating propellers and twin rudders make the Seaward 23 a joy to manoeuvre. Stepping ashore from cockpit to pontoon is made easy with the wide side decks and plenty of hand-holds, an important feature whether fully crewed or short-handed.
