Seawind Catamarans deployed countless thousands of man-hours in hull design and optimization, in this design collaboration with The Yacht Design Collective, and spared no expense in refining the crucial sailing ergonomics suited to a modern cruising couple. The new 1370 catamaran model has the high aim of striking the perfect balance between performance and comfort in a 45’ bluewater cruiser – this catamaran is designed to be the best go-anywhere, live-aboard cruising sailboat available today. Our rigorous design efforts have produced a hull capable of truly thrilling light air and heavy weather speeds and impressive pointing ability while being easy to handle shorthanded or single-handed.

This all-new catamaran is equipped with all of the modern necessities, while employing true boatbuilding craftsmanship at every level. The 1370 catamaran model is fitted with exquisitely crafted carpentry throughout, complimented by a well balanced saloon that is bathed in bright natural light and ventilating airflow thanks to Seawinds famed tri-fold door and essential fwd opening window system. The comprehensively equipped galley comes standard with bar fridge, large 130l chest freezer, and an abundance of storage, making it ideal for extended cruising and responding to sailing couples with varying needs for toys and equipment on their own unique voyage.

Open-plan living, with saloon, galley, cockpit and helms all on one level, this catamaran boasts incomparable open living area. But not content with ticking all of the boxes, the 1370 catamaran model advances one step further with another Seawind first – the innovative new breakfast (or evening) bar with integrated seating. It will make taking that first rest after a day of fast sailing a truly simple pleasure and serve as a coffee area in the morning when you’re ready to get going. The 1370 includes an integrated cockpit BBQ and sink, as well as foredeck and cockpit lounges.

This single-level cruising catamaran boasts Seawind Catamarans’ indispensable twin protected helms which offer skippers complete protection and 360 degree visibility. Sheets, reefs and halyards are all led aft to electric sheet winches at the helms making rough, offshore passages more comfortable and achievable from the safety of the dry and protected cockpit.

Key to the brief with our design partners, The Yacht Design Collective, the 1370 strikes a balance between performance and safe, comfortable sea keeping.  The weight of the vessel sits in the top of category, just under the category that requires significant additional cost in full carbon epoxy construction, making making the 1370 light and nimble for a significantly spacious 45-footer. Crucially the 1370 is capable of being heavily loaded with only the minimum of impact on sailing performance. Countless hours have been invested in Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) studies in order to discover the best balance of speed, and comfort under sail enabling Seawind to favor robust systems such as mini keels and spade rudders whilst not sacrificing on cruising performance.
