Great Cat --- Well done Seawind --- will have to have a closer look at it - on my shortlist ...
What a beautiful yacht. Great walkthrough. Made me sub to this channel.
Nice! Very excited to see more entrants in the performance cruiser segment. Just hope someone builds something with that much attention to weight/performance in the low 40' range.
Hi Mark, check here for the seawind 1260 really quick boat for its size
Nice walkthrough enjoyed it. Did I see a pink colour in there or was that an illusion, we carnt have that ha ha. Thank you , you have me thinking sea wind now.
Saw this boat in Barcelona last year, very glad to finally get some information on it :)
Thanks for another great review Toby. 🙌 You really convey a feeling and knowledge of the products few have talent for.
save for me ol' mate chris beeson, rifling through owners stowage and pointing out interesting flanges
Yeah does anyone know where Beeson is ?
Finally a decent helm with some coverage, you mention the helm area could be closed off, do you have a link of one covered? Great post, thanks.
closed off part sucks. i figure that's why they left it off.
Well said and very enjoyable walk through, thank you.
Toby committed an oops when he stated the vertical winch in the aft center of the cockpit is for jib and main sheets, etc., as it is actually for the halyards. An interesting boat, this one. I love those helm positions too, best yet on a cruising cat IMO.
In fact - it does handle the jib sheets too! So I think he's right - he just meant to say that the main sheets were on either side of it.
Well that's clarification from the top! Thanks for that. I hope you folks do very well with this- it certainly looks from afar like a wonderful package you have come up with..
Fantastic design!!! Really is superb!!!
I miss the days when they actually sailed / tested the yatchs
Bob Bob They more often do these first look videos at boat shows and then follow when they can with sea trials.
@@woolyimage so...its been a year and still...no "review" yachting worlds clout is pretty hohum...explains their loosing patronage year by year
Great review again Toby, I guess you have to sacrifice cabin space for speed! Three smallish cabins means not really meant to be chartered! Only for about a $1 million?
Well, there you have it. My dream cat
2 years on and we know just how good this boat is. Can't wait for the new 1300 series, starting with Ruby Rose 2.
Ruby Rose are clueless wankers.
what about the propeller protection when grounding is there a skeg or something ? narrow bodies and sharp entries ok for speed but are they not allowing more pitching reducing comfort ? i understood you cannot combine speed and comfort. ? independant seatrials and experience from users will soon reveal more lets hope for a positive evaluation that would be great achievement.
Nice enough boat but, not really sure if I like the design, Is it possible to get a 1600 with a 1260 design plan?
There are so many things about this cat that I don't like, but thanks for showing it anyway.
this boat is my life goal.
i'll be ordering the 1370 . i'm off to Vietnam shortly.
i'm a newb to all this, would you have a link?
a good review but cannot say I am overly impressed by the new 1600. If you had not said it was a Seawind I would have never have guessed. Lots of compromises and lacks so many functional features that really set the old 10 and 12 meter versions apart from the competition. This boat at 16 meters gives the impression it is smaller than the 12 meter.
Beautiful yacht 💙
Looks good. Looks quick.
4:44 a good sailing boat feel to it hahah
Nice episode , but from my point view the rudder setup for this boat is not sufficient
I like it.. Thanks
Those large open windows really kind of make me nervous. Like how do they handle waves?
Great presentation, but you can only do so much with that "dentist office" theme.
Sweet!
Looks like a nice day sailer for warm climates that don't get much rain.
Nice
Just right. 😁🖐
The boat featured says 1500, not 1600 on its side!!!
na, it says 1600
Get your eyes tested
740 e? i ll take two! )))
Don't care for the look or layout above or below deck.. but be more performance orientated that might be why..
What an odd design. OK, it is meant for performance, but it appears strange to sail, with winches and cables in complicated places. Cabins equivalent to the ones of a 40 feet cat. Two helm stations aren't needed in a cat. The front deck has no use, and there's not even a mat on the fly...
very similar to the Privilege 585
Very unprotected helm stations for a bluewater cat. Ugly nav station that looks like an antique office desk. Why the designer didn't just put a center helm station with a huge glass hatch on the roof of the cockpit to monitor the mainsail and another helm station in place of the ugly nav station for night watches? This boat does not heel upwind.
beautiful beautiful boat but.... they are all starting to look a bit Ikea though- ugh
This is merely an aesthetic criticism but I do not like blond wood cabinetry in a yacht. It looks cheap, like contractor grade, Motel 6 construction. Granted, the wood work is probably finely done, but it still looks cheap, like you paid a $million for the Chevy instead of getting the Cadillac.

I'd opt for a French built boat over Vietnamese...
Interesting. I'd take a Vietnamese build over a mass produced Lagoon/Bene these days but opinions vary!!
Outremer is the comparison, here. Labor rights are a concern with outsourcing to cheap labor, as well as the principle - I don't want to reward a company for searching for the cheapest possible labor in the world. Race to the bottom.
The thing is, as more work is sent to these areas, there is an inevitable evening out of wages over time. If Vietnam is where its deemed to be cheapest at the moment - come back in ten years and find a country awash with skilled tradesmen demanding increased wages.
Here in SEA, EA, Oceania, and the South Pacific we very much prefer Vietnamese, SA, Australian, and Taiwanese built boats than the French ones. Not all is cheapest=low quality. FYI, only the mainland chinese does that. One french guy working on a boat yard in France have wages equal to 3-5 Taiwanese guys even though the workmanship can be equally high. But yeah, as someone above mentioned..opinions vary. Same thing what they've said about the HH cats, but at the end of the day, the people who saw the boat in person tells that the built quality stands for itself.
@@MrRugbylane Yes then come back in 11 years to find the corporations have moved to the next cheap labor hot spot. This is a wage race to the bottom for everyone, not a good thing in my opinion.
Very basic and it better be cheap because that is what it looks like. Great idea having inaccessible halyards.
I cannot think of anything I like about this boat. Just as porsche shouldn't design yachts...mono hull companies shouldn't create multi hulls.
Edit have yet to see Toby do a new gunboat. He always seems to have disliked them though it seems (except for the 55). Jealousy is a hell of a drug, the limeys have.
