From the Shipyard: The Seawind 1260 in build

Others

The keenly anticipated Seawind 1260 is nearing launch, with the first boat only a few months from her debut at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show. And when we say “keenly anticipated” that’s because the genesis of this boat came from conversations with the many Seawind owners who were looking for something more from a 42-footer. Here is a hint of what is to come.

“Al Fresco” dining

Seawind owners love the performance of our catamarans. But they are also now asking for a beautifully sculpted and practical cockpit able to seat 6 for dinner, have space to relax, and provide space for toys and equipment. And of course they want it without sacrifice anything in pace and practicality. After months of refinement, the cockpit of the Seawind 1260 will have a beautiful new modular seating arrangement to sit 6 comfortably, while keeping weight to a minimum.

Space to Spare

Seawind is renown for its tri-folding and lifting doors, which allow indoor-outdoor living to the fullest. The combined space in the new Seawind 1260 amounts to over 13 square metres of space! There are no steps, no trip hazards, only a perfect fusion of these two areas. The aft seating even converts into a day bed.

A boat for all seasons

The new 1260 features the same unique ventilation system as on our other models – combining ventilation in the cabins, the forward opening windows, and the tri-fold doors to draw air through the boat even in the most serene conditions. But she is also a boat for the Baltic, the North Sea, the roaring 40’s, and beyond. The large and rugged targa top provides shelter from the sun and rain, and the position of the forward windows means even in those tough conditions you can see forward – the protection and visibility of a pilothouse yacht, with the twin helms and flat sailing of a catamaran.
