WOW! -- i can't believe that you are "gluing" any part of the deck to hull joint, especially after all the endless reported problems. GLUE will never hold long term. You know that you should use fiberglass to tape all joints and the fact that you are now skimping on that is shocking. I never thought that Seawind would get sucked into cutting corners but here we are. Can you order the 1370 with 100 percent taped deck to hull joints if that is my preference? I want a solid catamaran or, if I wanted the cheap easy glue method, I could just go to Lagoon and deal with their junk.

Nice! -- QUESTION -- Can you make a larger version of the 1370? The 1370 is easily the nicest looking 45' Catamaran for world cruising. However, it would be nice it if was slightly larger so we could put a proper sized washing machine and drying machine (both) into it (the tiny micro machine is simply too silly for full-time live aboards). Maybe a 1570 or 1670 would be perfect! The 1600 simply looks outdated by at least one generation whereas the 1370 simply stunning.

Paying vietnamese wages asking for dollars on sale

Quality control; Fact ... Will reduce cost and increase sales.

I think the reason he gives for the helm placement is not correct or good. Having a fly bridge gives the captain the best possible line of sight, not having to shift around or sit out in the elements to get a good view. Great boats but the reasons for the helm being where they are seem weak to me.

No room for a washer/dryer combo

It’s a lovely addition to the fleet! Some great and subtle innovations. One tiny thing, I do like my partitioned line bins on my 1160

Love these 1170 1260 and 1370 designs. Question, I don’t see many of these cruising in northern waters. Are there? Is it a safe vessel for North Atlantic (ie Northeast coast - Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia) type conditions?

Yea I want the super high holding anchor! Love the boat! But f I come into a ton of money you will be my first call

Bad video

This is nice to see the new additions and Easy for solo sailors. In the future, I will be looking at your 1170.

Questionable helm position

Good content

Catamaran and galley down below, no thank you

The main issue is the waiting list...

so when is a new 1270 coming out?

u should allow the outboards to steer... that way we could install helm master or any other docking controll ;)

u should allow the motors to steer... that way we could install helm master or any other docking controll ;)

Nice friendly presentation.

would like to see new videos

Очень понравилось!!!!

How many cabins ?

Show the video of the engine or sail drive coming out for service, please. Both sides.

I would have bought a Seawind, it's a terrific boat, but this was the one big deal killer for me. Having the engine under a berth makes it very difficult to access for routine fluid checks, and even more difficult to remove if needed (it does happen that the engine or saildrive needs to come out for service). This is a much bigger problem than the worries that some water might come in via a deck hatch. Trust me folks, if the seas are so rough that you’re worried about waves washing over a deck hatch, then you do NOT want to be below decks either with your head hanging into an engine bay. (Best tactic is to use one engine, or sail to more sheltered waters, or lie ahull until things calm down).

Another advantage is fewer holes below the waterline and associated valves (somewhat negated in this example by the generator!)

Just got to find the cash to pay for it dreams are free

My dream to have a 1260 like yours - good upgrades

Superb

Very well done, I'm impressed byt the content and editing. It's direct and to the point and covers all the interesting changes. Thank you.

What has happened to the film production team, l was really enjoying the updates on the build process, so much more detailed than whacky Ruby Rose version

lots of potential here but I would like to know what customizations can be had with one of the engineers. move the nav station forward facing, port side / integrated with saloon. owner port berth moved aft, (however judging by the stairs and potentially the mold design, moving the stairs forward may not be possible) head and shower moved to the front of the hull with escape hatch /big vent in shower. it would free up a lot of space to have a well appointed shower with seat and a separate head.. possibly with a port hole design that allows you to plop right into the water below. if not, a raw water flush out of the black tank option. on the galley side instead of a inlaid bed on the aft cabin, I would make that provisions and pantry area for crossings, possibly another freezer. also allow space that a hammock could be hung. forward through the galley instead of an inlaid bed two folding single bunks that can stow integrated and out of the way with that space also acting as an optional hammock hang as well when the bunks are up. this area could be used for stowing additional provisions when not in use or perhaps gear. forward of that the combo toilet shower head is ok, as long as there can be a pass through to the storage above so perhaps orient the toilet differently. my thoughts are that the tanks are more centrally located under/near the main mast (blackwater, freshwater, fuel) so the idea of running plumbing that deals with toilet waste would be better to have those heads forward, not aft as that would constitute a simpler less run in comparison. (another off the cuff idea for the starboard side, would be to move the head back so it's just on the other side of kitchen, and move the bunk/hammock / stowage forward more where the starboard head is located in the default configuration -this would allow for a larger area and potential drop down storage through the top hatch as well.). additionally I would want a larger rotating display, integrated or elegant stowage solution for the pop out windows, duel auto pilots for redundancy. selden SMF, and fully electronic foresail furling systems as well, allowing for easier single person, push button sailing - this would be an older couple who retire early, with plans for circumnavigation. @seawind catamarans I'd like details on how the rudders are designed - will the break in an impact? without destroying the steering system and simply carry redundancy extra rudder and slide it in place while underway.

I'd like to hear him talk about how that compares to the 1190 sport. It's those two I'm looking at. If the passage maker could be outfitted as shaft drive Bell marine electric motors

All well and good, you about sold me over the 1190 sport! But.. where's the retractable outboards lol

Awaiting arrival of my 1160 Lite in a few weeks. Love this boat!

Awaiting delivery of my 1160 Lite in a few weeks. Can’t wait!

really love a low-maintenece small cat like this. hope it will receive an comfort/aesthetics overhaul soon to be more in line with the big boys in the family, the 1370 and 1600.

It would be nice to see Seawind 1900.

I have used the Henkel/ Locite gun system for the last 15 years and concur that it is the ultimate in Methacrylate mixing system. I really appreciate the time you guys are putting into documenting and sharing this build information, it s really a credit to the engineering team to see you assembling and creating his model in this social media platform. Thanks Mike and the Team. We have just completed our 3rd charter on a Seawind Cat in the Whitsundays, and have a number of friends that own and sail Seawind Cats, and am sold on the performance and design of the Seawind Range. All the best and thank you Ross

I love the 1370 and especially Nick's Ruby Rose model but I have 1 concern about the hidden lines under the deck. If replacing an old line you just pull the new line through the sheaves with the old line but how do you run the new line incase the line actually separate and pull out completely?

Thank you, impressive and very informative. Might I suggest that you ask your viewers whether the background music is neccessary - combined with the background noise of the factory it is a lot to take in…

Starting to understand the subtle differences in construction now between the 1370 and its competitor the Balance 442. The 1370 is glassed in high load areas only then everywhere else is glued and has mechanical fasteners to join. The 442 is joined with epoxy resin and glassed along the entire joint inside and out then hand faired so it’s one piece. Much more labor intensive, so I imagine saves a bunch of cost/time in the build they can pass the savings onto the customer for a minor compromise. Both fantastic catamarans! Definitely my favorite Seawind 👍🏻

Nick from RR2 probably has watched this five times.

Really appreciate the video. Well made and what a privilege to be able to see the build process of such a well designed and well built Catamaran. Looking forward to some more 1370 build videos. Thank you.

Ruby Rose 2 in the background....
