The HAWK International 14

The original HAWK was a 4-plank design, commissioned by Vince Chiaramonte, of Annapolis Dinghy Store, Annapolis, Maryland, USA. (Circa 1973 - even before the Internet era, my reputation as a racing dinghy designer had attained a global reach - mainly, I think, due to my design articles in various British sailing mags - special thanks go to Peter Cook, then editor of Yachts and Yachting.)
A cold moulded, round bilge version was built in the UK by Michael McTurk. Now, half a century later, Michael's son owns a Hadron H2.
