MORE THAN A BRAND When Richard Ward founded Seawind Catamarans more than 35 years ago, he didn’t just become a Director of a catamaran brand, rather he ended up the patriarch of a yachting family. With every boat we build, we add to that family, and its our relationship with Seawind owners that makes our boatyard special. Its why our website is full of links to cruising blogs by our owners. They are a fantastic, collective resource for all new Seawind owners. And for us, they’re our greatest friends, and harshest critics (and family are tough critics). All of that feedback goes into...

600+ AND COUNTING \Nm over 600 boats launched, our owners have accumulated millions of cruising miles. And while you won’t find dozens of Seawinds in boat shows, you will find them in the most incredible and remote locations. Seawinds are real cruising yachts for real sailors - they’re out crossing oceans, and exploring hidden lagoons and anchorages all over the world.

I am proud to present you with a look at the current range of Seawind Catamarans, which reflect the long and fascinating journey our company has taken -three and a half decades of designing and building catamarans capable of tackling Australia’s harsh East Coast conditions. We have never been satisfied in making any sacrifices to accomplish our goals. Indeed, when we launched Seawind all those years ago, it was to make a boat to live up to our ideals and expectations of what a cruising boat really should be. We have personally tested our own boats and many others around the globe, using the...

Seawind is in continuous development with every new model, building on the knowledge and success of previous designs. Every boat is the result of hundreds of collective years of multihull experience, and the best construction techniques the world has to offer. Seawind uses Resin Infusion Technology to produce a lighter, stronger, and cleaner product. In partnership with High Modulus and DIAB technologies, the complex infusion implementation process was developed using computerised simulated flow models (see below) to ensure that best quality and consistency is achieved with every new Seawind.

Every Seawind is built for cruising practicality, but delivered on a platform of fast, performance hulls with a fine bow entry and strong stiff construction. Poise is combined with power in the shape of a relatively powerful sail area, providing a power to weight ratio to set pulses racing. This additional power delivers the speed to bring significantly more destinations within reach, satisfying a modern market which may need to fit "extended" cruising into only a few weeks or months. But in all of the 600 boats launched, not one has ever shed her rig or indeed suffered a capsize. Seawinds...

Dual helm stations are found on every model, and offer 360-degree visibility, even on the largest models. This allows the skipper to sail safely in crowded harbor conditions, and to keep an eye on the crew when offshore. Large targa tops offer protection from the harsh offshore conditions, both sun and rain, while panoramic opening windows provide ventilation as well as visibility. Seawinds offer the protection of a pilothouse yacht, with the visibility of and helming advantages of a catamaran.

The famous Australian indoor / outdoor, open lifestyle is entrenched in Seawind designs. With unbeatable living area complimented by brilliant natural ventilation, protected cockpit lounge, and social helm seats putting the skipper in control as well as in the conversation. Best of all, you can enjoy what many cats compromise on... visibility -for the skipper and crew, with 360 degree views from the helm and saloon seats all within the protection of the fiberglass coachouse and targa top.

Designed for extended ocean crossings, the Seawind 1600 has all of the cruising practicality you would expect from a new Seawind, but delivered on long, fast, performance hulls. The carbon and Kevlar reinforced hulls with collision bulkheads are both stiff and safe. High aspect deep retracting rudders and daggerboards offer performance and practicality - this boat tacks easily and is a nimble performer, but has a minimum draft of only 54cm with the foils raised. Poise is combined with power in the shape of a 23-metre rig and relatively larger sail area, providing a power to weight ratio to...
