“SAIL Magazine has delivered a fantastic New Year’s present to Seawind Catamarans: The Seawind 1600 has been named the SAIL Best Boat, in the category “Best Large Multihull 50ft and Above.” VIEW HERE

“The “luxury performance cruising cat” has been an exclusive animal for decades. Upwind agility usually loses out to the added weight of all those “luxuries” like extra volume, multiple refrigerators, huge battery banks, large engines and classy finishes. The term itself holds a vague promise, but to most keptics it’s a flat-out misnomer. But intrepid builders keep trying to find the ideal marriage of comfort and speed and that’s a good thing. With each effort, we get closer to that “perfect” combination and that’s why I found so much to like on the new Seawind 1600.” VIEW HERE

“Keen offshore sailors will approve of the way the Seawind 1260 sails well upwind and holds a much higher pointing angle than most higher volume cruising cats. This is one of its strengths.” VIEW HERE

“Sailing a cruising catamaran to windward in a choppy sea is not my idea of fun but Seawind’s new 1190 Sport with daggerboards might change that view” VIEW HERE

“The Seawind 1260 has been refreshed in design, refreshed in build processes and construction methodology but remains the reliable cruising sailing boat that the company is famous for. Well done Richard Ward and the folk at Seawind” VIEW HERE

“The Seawind 1600 is a nice multihull that plays skillfully with current trends, yet which is forging its own path. Sleek aesthetics, build quality, justifiable trade-offs and being enjoyable to use constitute this newcomer’s main assets, establishing an original personality and identity” VIEW HERE

“Starting at the Port Sidney Marina in British Columbia, Bob Nicoll was going to test sail the Seawind 1160 Lite and was impressed with its perfect balance between comfort, safety and short-handed sailing design” VIEW HERE
