- Displacement: 13T

VALUE FOR MONEY
The Seawind is competitively priced, starting at USD $889,000, and comes with quite a bit of kit. However, no boat is truly ‘turn key’ and once adding some nice-to-have as well as need-to-have extras, the price was coming up to $990,000. This is inline with other catamarans of similar size and type (ie, the Outremer 51). She is built in Vietnam which allows lower labour rates while not compromising on quality. The reviewers felt that, given what’s included in the base price, the Seawind 1600 represents better than average value for money.


Designed by world renowned naval architects
Reichel Pugh

This 52 foot luxury catamaran is the perfect balance of cruising comfort and performance sailing. Using high end composite construction materials and techniques, the Seawind 1600 is for the sailor who is looking for something a little extra. With simple sailing systems, twin protected helms and a large open cockpit space, this blue water luxury cruising catamaran sets the standard for offshore sailing.

Performance through intelligent design

Comfort and performance are a tradeoff discussed endlessly.  The 1600 strikes this balance through the use of advanced build technologies and continuous weight-saving efforts. However, strategically placed carbon fibre reinforcements to the daggerboard case, bow and other areas not only make the 1600 stiff and fast, but also gives her the beachability that so many Seawind catamarans are renown for.

Quality walk through video from Yachting World on the Seawind 1600

As seen in the animation below, through the use of retracting daggerboards and rudders, and despite the lack of mini-keels, the 1600 is safe on a sandy shoal. The minimum draft (with daggerboards and rudders up) is only 54cm – or 2ft 1inches. That means the Seawind 1600 can enter many areas typically reserved only for mini-keeled multihulls or daysailers, such as reefs and sandy inlets.

Captive daggerboards, which don’t protrude through the deck, reduce maintenance and keep a clean deck that could otherwise prove hazardous offshore. And this approach conveniently maintains the aesthetic of the stunning Reichel Pugh design. The daggerboard lifting mechanism is run to the cockpit, so there’s no need to rush forward and then cross the boat to raise the boards.

We hope you like our blend of comfort and performance, which owes a lot to the Seawind philosophy of making every boat as simple and reliable as possible
