Since undertaking the major reframing operation whilst on the slipway, we have now relaunched Hawila and are very happy to be afloat once again! The planks have been slowly taking up and the seams are now tight. We have been busy fairing the inside of the frames to accept the ceiling planks and bilge stringers, which will help to produce the rigidity of the ship fore and aft. Fairing is to shape the frames by planing and sanding to produce a fair and even curve and allows us to fasten the ceiling plank tightly to the surface of the frames. Having completed the fairing in the bow, our team wasted no time in hanging the first ceiling plank. The oak plank is steamed for two hours to make it sufficiently pliable so that it can be bent into shape and fastened to the frames. Once fixed, it adds rigidity to the fore and aft strength of the ship.

We are currently working on the refit of our sailing vessel Hawila. This structural overhaul will make her fit for the first Transatlantic crossing. Hawila will be sailing 60 tons of organic products as well as trainees across the Atlantic, in an emission-free way, showing that respectful, ethical, and clean transport is possible. This work is possible thanks to people like you investing in shares! Learn more: https://www.hawila.org/cooperative/#share

This spotless 33′ Grady White Express is powered by a pair F300 Yamahas, with only 350 hours on them. The spacious cockpit provides ample room, catering to both fishing enthusiasts and those seeking a relaxing hangout space. Notable features include a convenient transom door, a foldaway upholstered transom seat, and a refrigerated fish box. There’s a BRAND NEW 6 kW diesel genset on board (less than 3 hours of use), a Smart plug shore power cable, a factory-installed hardtop, and an enclosure with a drop curtain. Safety and navigation equipment include an EPIRB, dual VHF radios, along with two large-screen Raymarine units that integrate GPS, fishfinder, and Radar functionalities – cleverly designed to fold away when not in use. The boat is equipped with 3 Yamaha gauges, Bennett trim tabs paired with a gauge, a Simrad auto-pilot, bow thruster, remote spotlight, and windlass. Exterior cushions re-stuffed and replaced summer 2023. The boat also comes with tuna spears for the serious anglers. Belowdeck, you’ll find a mid cabin and a forward double berth. The galley boasts ample storage space, along with modern conveniences like a microwave, refrigerator, Corian countertops, and a 2-burner electric stove. Adding to the interior’s appeal are the cherrywood dining table and teak and holly sole. All interior cushions were replaced summer 2022. A spacious head includes a shower complete with a vacuflush toilet.
