Boat: Seawind 1190 sport
built 1190 sport, delivered in 2020.
Everything Seawind built was exceptional. Fit and finish of the itself was absolutely top rate, and I'm very happy with the overall design, and the little things are very well thought out and executed.
But I did have some problems:
1. They did not properly winterize the before it across the north atlantic in march. It went through a serious cold snap on the way, and as a result there was some freeze damage. They were extremely attentive about getting it rectified to my satisfaction. Also they had indepth conversations with me about what they were doing to address the issue so this doesn't happen to someone else.
2. two of the three heat exchangers in my hydronic system had defects from webasto. I wish they had caught them at the factory. Seems they were not particularly experienced at systems. But again it seems like they have a quality system and i'd expect from my conversations that they would address it.
My last area of concern is with and electronic, and it's not seawind (installation and is exceptionally neat, professional, and organized compared to most other i've owned or worked on. All the systems were well designed and integrated and performed great. But it is mastervolt . I like the , but if you own anything of those brands, you are basically on your own. I've had trouble with the keypad (replaced once), and now, after several years, the just dies once in a while. Sucks on a zero visibility night watch. It comes back if i shut off and restart (jeez, ya'd think it is microsoft just died. Just 'he's dead Jim ..' everything external to it is ok, such as voltages on terminals.
So these are / / Mastervolt issues, not seawind. I'm ok with dying, **** happens, accept that i have to deal with it. The autopilot keypad happened on warranty period, Seawind just sent me a new one. Awesome . But the rest is post warranty, and i've tried to deal with the manufacturers to get . but as many forum members may know, they've all been bought up by an outfit called Brunswick (private equity rollup perhaps?) and there is essentially zero service. I've spent many hours on the , and sent 10's of emails ... nothing !
Conclusions - seawind veitnam has absolutely top quality, and my service experience has been great. But i would never buy anything from Brunswick if i had the choice. Their is fine but **** goes wrong and they are so just not there it amazed me. hope that changes, would buy there stuff again if they figured out service.

is grounded to the . I may have missed this as I am still going through things but I wonder if anyone knows what the practice was for Seawind in grounding the 1000XL models. This little ship did not have 120V shorepower and what got me thinking about this was adding incoming and contemplating grounding the 120V. I had the boat out of for quite a while and I don't seeing any grounding plate below the waterline but, to tell the truth, I wasn't thinking about this at the time and might not have noticed. Anyway, any info on Seawind practice in grounding and/or the would be very helpful

Boat: Seawind 1260
this vessel and am currently going through each and every system. The prior owner did an ok job but like any boat it has its issues.
I determined that the biggest issues found during the were owner related and not craftsmanship from the . Nothing that isnt manageable.
The one callout against seawind is the .
The poly have vetus . Alone these ports do not seem cruiser worthy as they use the to hold themselves in place. vetus cap if you wish. Its like a big cork on a tank.
To stop the cork from popping out, seawind used a wedge that is braced against the bottom of the floor.
To me, this is bananas and I guess someone at seawind thought so as well because they sent out replacement kits with proper inspection ports that had .
My vessel does not have this upgrade yet but soon will.

Seawind 1170 first look: 39ft passagemaking catamaran
Toby Hodges
February 8, 2024
The newly launched Seawind 1170 is smaller than many new catamaran launches but should still prove a capable passagemaking multihull
Over the past few years Seawind has become increasingly well recognised for its quick cruising catamarans. This 39-foot Seawind 1170 retains key core elements, including relatively light displacement, plus twin aft helm stations with excellent protection and visibility.
There’s also a removable carbon sprit and a pair of windows in the hardtop to monitor sail trim. However, despite its potential to sail for extended periods at speeds above 10 knots, this is not intended as a boat that will be difficult or energetic to sail: a self-tacking jib is standard and the mainsheet traveller is mounted on the hard top, so doesn’t present a danger to anyone in the cockpit.
Despite being smaller than the existing 52ft Seawind 1600 Passagemaker and recent 45ft 1370 models, it’s still intended as a capable ocean cruising multihull , with bright and comfortable accommodation.

First look: Ovnicat 48 aluminium multihull
It’s easy to assume that all rugged metal yachts are very heavy. While that was the case at one time…
The owner’s cabin in the port hull benefits from a queen size athwartships double berth that creates much more of a feeling of space than many catamarans of this size. Equally, the starboard forward guest cabin has a queen size bed, while there’s a smaller double to be found aft. Unusually, the galley is down in the starboard hull, leaving space for a full-width saloon with navstation.
A pair of big opening hatches in the front of the coachroof are supported on gas struts, while a tri-fold door that swings upwards to sit against the underside of the hard top creates a wide opening between cockpit and saloon.
A tri-fold door swings upwards out of the way to create a large opening between cockpit and saloon
Stowage on deck includes three large lockers at the front of the bridgedeck, plus further space under the seating in the aft cockpit.
Tankage is also generous at around 500lt for both fuel and water.
The first two prototype 1170s are already afloat, with one of them having been tested in 30-35 knots of head winds and waves of up to 4-5m waves. “Even though we were pushing it hard to test its limits,” designer and Seawind founder Richard Ward reported afterwards, “it felt strong and safe and very dry, even as we crashed off the back of the short, sharp waves.”
Production boats will be built at Seawind’s new factory in Izmir, Turkey, with the first expected to be afloat in mid 2024. This location, a modern city of five million people on the eastern shores of the Aegean, reflects the yard’s desire to capture more of the European market.

Seawind 1600 Boat Review
By Mark Pillsbury
Updated: July 20, 2020
One of the things I like best about baseball is watching a batter swing for the fences, and at the crack of the bat, he knows that he can afford to take a leisurely jog around the bases because he just hit the sweet spot.
I had that same kind of feeling one day this past February when I stepped from the dinghy onto the transom steps of the new Seawind 1600 catamaran . Right away, I knew I was about to go for one fine sail—and on a near-perfect day to boot. Blue sky. Thirteen knots of breeze. Could it get better? Not until the sails were up.
Built in Vietnam, at 52 feet LOA the 1600 is Seawind’s largest catamaran. It was designed by Reichel Pugh as a luxury catamaran with equal measures of cruising comfort and sailing performance. Let’s talk about the sailing first.
The 1600 sports a square-top full-batten main and solent rig with a screecher for light-air reaching and a self-tacking jib for heavier breezes or sailing upwind. There’s an option for an inner forestay and furling storm jib, and also a sprit for flying a spinnaker, which we did on our test sail (more on that in a moment).
Headsail sheets are led to winches adjacent to each helm station. There is no traveler. Instead there are two mainsheets that run through blocks on either side of the stern and then to a central winch on the transom, where reefing lines are also led. This mainsheet arrangement provides lots of control over a big and powerful sail.
On a beam reach with the screecher set, our GPS speed hovered in the high 7-knot range, and when the chute went up, so did our speed, to 8.5 knots and a little higher in any puff we caught. The 1600 uses Lewmar Mamba steering, and the helms felt as smooth as could be. Headed upwind and home, we rolled out the self-tacking jib and still made a respectable 6.6 knots, and thanks to retractable daggerboards, were able to point quite well.
So now, on to the comforts.
The Seawind comes in either a three- or four-cabin layout. On this boat, the owner’s hull was to starboard and included a queen bunk aft, lots of storage, and a spacious head and shower up at the pointy end. The opposite hull had two cabins. The forward one felt a bit narrow because of the fine entry of the bows, but still, it had a double berth and adequate storage space. The aft cabin had two single berths and a filler that turned them into a double. A shared head was amidships.
With windows all around, the saloon was a bright and sunny place to be. Opening ports forward allow a breeze to blow through, and large sliding windows at the aft-facing galley permit the cook to join any party taking place at the large dining table located to starboard out in the cockpit. There’s an indoor table with U-shaped seating as well to port of a forward-facing nav station.
The cockpit is covered by a Bimini that is supported by stainless posts aft and short carbon-fiber risers forward. It provides lots of shade, and the breeze blows through the space between the hard awning and cabin top. This space can be closed off, as can the cockpit sides and back with clear panels. Eight solar panels sit atop the Bimini and keep the battery bank fed (though AGM batteries are standard, the boat we sailed had an optional lithium-ion system).
Furniture throughout the boat is built using a honeycomb foam core and veneers to save weight and for strength. Hulls, deck and Bimini are all cored and infused using vinyl ester resin. An outside layer of Kevlar is added to the hulls for protection and to strengthen the areas around the daggerboards; carbon fiber reinforces the chainplates, bulkheads and stiffeners.
For power, the 1600 comes standard with 57 hp Yanmar diesels; the boat in Miami had a pair of optional 80 hp Yanmars that pushed us along at just over 8 knots at cruising speed and better than 9 in get-home-fast mode. With the larger engines and lots of other options, the 1600 carries a price tag of right around $1.2 million, delivered to the US East Coast. For that, you can enjoy your own sweet spot.

A self-contained, capable, independent catamaran is truly Bliss. This Seawind 1190 Sport was conceived, constructed, and fitted for maximum self sufficiency, performance, and freedom. She has an extensive 1000 watt solar array charging new lithium house batteries and low electrical loads for quiet independence. It is sized to run her Spectra watermaker for unlimited fresh water on passages. She has diesel-fired hydronic heat for year-round comfort and no heating loads.
She has narrow and easily driven hulls for quick acceleration and great light wind performance. Her carbon bowsprit carries large furling light air sails. Her jib self tacks. Just turn either of her twin helms to come about in tight channels without grinding. Her outboards are efficient, ubiquitous, and tilt up for zero drag under sail. Her daggerboards point her high and retract for excellent off wind speed. Her cassette rudders retract too so that you can access the skinniest of anchorages or even a protected beach.
Enjoy the security of helming from bulkhead positions with excellent visibility beneath a full hard bimini. Enjoy a secure warm enclosed salon on cold Winter days. Or open the tri-fold salon door entirely joining the salon and cockpit to live gracefully inside and out in fine weather. She is poised in the Northwest at the foot of the Inside Passage and upwind and upcurrent of Mexico, Central America and the entire South Pacific. She is ready to go. You’ve found Bliss. What course will you follow? Contact Matthew today.
Daggerboards create less drag than mini-keels (7m3 reduction in wetted surface area), higher pointing ability (5-7 degrees), shallow draft (17.7inches or 450mm), and lighter construction
Dagger style high aspect retractable rudders offer reduced drag, improved performance, positive helm feedback, and shallow draft allowing beaching ability
Carbon reinforced forebeam and targa arch offering stiffer construction and reduced weight
Carbon bowsprit offering stiffer / lighter construction
Double spreader tall mast carries larger sail area and improves sheeting ability
Performance Sails are light weight aramid cloth reducing weight aloft and improving sail shape and performance
1190 Sport construction weight reduction of 600kg (compared to Seawind 1160) offering improved power to weight ratio
Outboard engines create significant weight reduction and can be tilted to eliminate drag when sailing. Eliminates growth on running gear and electrolysis and reduces maintenance and replacement costs
Fuel is stored external to the cabin

He has 14 years of experience with TMC and an intimate knowledge of the Northwest’s unique maritime geography that he describes as, “One of the world’s most beautiful, intricate, and extensive cruising grounds. The joys of which are advantageously and endlessly displayed to the owner of a cruising multihull.”
Sail Away is an Authorized Seawind Catamarans Dealer
Seawind Catamarans has enjoyed a stellar reputation of building performance cruising catamarans for over 35 years. Their success is due to their simple design philosophy - to build catamarans that sail exceptionally well, are engineered to the highest quality, can be sailed by anyone, and provide safety and comfort to those aboard. To that end, Seawind made a decision very early on to build catamarans with a focus on cruising couples and families.
All Seawinds are engineered to offshore standards utilizing innovative technologies and materials to create a strong, safe, and reliable boat. The narrower hull designs cut through the water efficiently, getting you to your destination faster and the lines and controls are led back to the cockpit optimizing these boats for solo or short-handed operation. The only twin helm design in the world that offers unrivaled protection from the harsh sun, rain, and wind by being located behind a major bulkhead. Add to this the panoramic windows that give you complete visibility and the flexibility to steer from either side of the boat when sailing so you can properly trim your sails or dock with an optimal twin engine control.
A very generous cockpit allows for a multitude of options. On the Seawind 1160 and 1190 models, add some foldaway deck chairs and a table, use the cockpit as a work area, set up equipment, or clean a freshly caught fish for dinner. The 1260, 1370, and 1600 models offer traditional lounge and seating spaces in the cockpit with built in tables for comfort while making way or entertaining on the dock or hook. The Seawind 1600 offers a sliding door system with opening windows, and all other models offer the innovative tri-fold door system to seamlessly tie the inside and outside living spaces together. The extra-large opening windows in the saloon, hatches and cabins on all of the Seawind models create outstanding ventilation and natural lighting.
The open galley on the Seawind 1160, 1190 and 1260 down in the starboard hull is similar to a Butler’s Pantry. It is completely separate from the living area and no space is wasted; creating a larger galley with storage and prep space. This results in a lounge/living area equal to that of a 50-footer. The Seawind 1370 and 1600 have a galley on the main level tied in seamlessly with the saloon living area. Regardless of style, these galleys make cooking a delight!
