Brand: Seawind
Jump to Seawind Catamarans For Sale
Since 1982, Australian owner and experienced sailor Richard Ward has built Seawind from the ground up, focusing on innovative designs that improve the safety and comfort of the entire Seawind line. They began with “off the beach” catamarans in the 9- to 12-foot range, slowly evolving into larger, cruise-worthy vessels. Their first, the Seawind 24, was a 24-foot cruising catamaran that sold over 350 boats.
Between 1991 and today, Seawind has built over 600 vessels, first in Australia. In the mid-2000s, after partnering with Corsair, they moved manufacturing to the Corsair factory in Vietnam. Models include the: • Seawind 850 • Seawind 1000, 1000XL • Seawind 1050 Resort • Seawind 1200, 1250, 1260 • Seawind 1160, 1190 • Seawind 1370 • Seawind 1600
Seawinds were built to allow couples and families to cruise in safety and comfort. The Seawind design philosophy can be summed up by its company-designated acronym:
Sails like a real sailboat Engineered to endure Anyone can operate Weather protected at the helm Indoor/outdoor living Natural ventilation Don’t waste space
Originally built to withstand the harsh coasts of Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific, Seawind catamarans can be found sailing the seven seas, either as a charter boat or decked-out cruising vessel.
What Makes Seawind Special? Catamaran designs have come a long way over the past three decades, so it isn’t much to say that innovation is the company’s unique hallmark. With that said, Seawind has distinguished themselves through thoughtful innovations not typically seen on more budget-conscious catamarans.
Construction As the Seawind line evolved, they moved from traditional hand-lay-up GRP construction to a high-tech resin infusion process that utilizes closed molds, vacuum pressure, and a controlled environment for curing. This process significantly improves the strength of the Seawind hulls and reduces weight. Additionally, all seating areas and shelves are integrated into the mold to increase strength and minimize squeaking and groaning while underway.
Living Space Even before the integration of the unique trifold door found between the salon and cockpit area of the 1160 model and beyond, Seawind put significant thought into the living spaces of its catamarans. Through the use of thoughtful design, the Seawind provides a more open layout so guests and crew aren’t sitting on top of each other. In addition, the places where you would normally congregate in the worst weather, like the salon or berths, are located along the areas of the vessel with the least amount of pitch.
Safety In alignment with their design and mission statements, the Seawind models provide safety features that include protected helm stations, three lifelines that stand 36-inches, the placement of sail controls that allow for reefing from the cockpit, and wide, flat decks for ease of movement in weather.
Sailable, Livable Vessels Overall, Seawinds are known to be solid sailing vessels that don’t compromise a lot of comfort for performance. With a wide range of models to take a beginning or seasoned sailor around the world, the Seawinds should not be overlooked in the search for your next catamaran.
