A decisive choice was made early to put sailing performance before pure volume, which is not the case of many modern catamaran designers. Placing the main beds above the bridge deck in smaller models rather than in the hull, allows narrower hull designs which cut through the water more efficiently and faster. The benefits of this are that you get to your destination faster and don’t become frustrated by the lack of performance after days at sea or in moderate to light winds.

Catamarans sized between mid 30’s to mid 40 feet are easier to handle, easier to maintain and easier to manage than larger boats.  They offer a good balance of comfort and low operational cost, and on a technical level are easier for an inexperiencd crew to handle. On Seawind catamarans, all lines and controls are led back to the cockpit and are optimised for solo or short-handed operation, and ease of use for novice sailors. This feature has enabled many of our owners to cruise as couples or single handed on countless ocean passages.

Enjoy the spaciousness and freedom of a clutter free cockpit without permanent furniture reducing the cockpit in size. When needed, add a foldaway cockpit table and deck chairs. Then use the cockpit as a work space for setting up equipment, or bring in fish to clean and wash away through the self training deck. You have the flexibility with an uncluttered cockpit to use however you need. Great for parties and larger guest numbers.

The galley on a Seawind catamaran is akin to the Butler’s Kitchen in many modern homes – Cook your meals on the BBQ upstairs, and then keep your mess out of your living space and away from guests by hiding it in the open galley in the hull. This means you end up with a much larger galley with storage and preparation space, with the added bonus that your saloon lounge is huge and not impeded by a galley. The end result is a living area / lounge equivalent to a 50 footer and a galley that makes cooking for large groups a pleasure.
