Скачать или смотреть Introducing the Seawind 1600 Catamaran Passagemaker - a luxury performance catamaran

The 1600 Passagemaker reflects our aspiration to create the ideal cruiser in every aspect: this is the ultimate offshore cruising catamaran

Designed by world renowned naval architects
Reichel Pugh
This 52 foot luxury catamaran is the perfect balance of cruising comfort and performance sailing. Using high end composite construction materials and techniques, the Seawind 1600 is for the sailor who is looking for something a little extra. With simple sailing systems, twin protected helms and a large open cockpit space, this blue water luxury cruising catamaran sets the standard for offshore sailing.

Performance through intelligent design
Comfort and performance are a tradeoff discussed endlessly. The 1600 strikes this balance through the use of advanced build technologies and continuous weight-saving efforts. However, strategically placed carbon fibre reinforcements to the daggerboard case, bow and other areas not only make the 1600 stiff and fast, but also gives her the beachability that so many Seawind catamarans are renown for.

VALUE FOR MONEY
The Seawind is competitively priced, starting at USD $889,000, and comes with quite a bit of kit. However, no boat is truly ‘turn key’ and once adding some nice-to-have as well as need-to-have extras, the price was coming up to $990,000. This is inline with other catamarans of similar size and type (ie, the Outremer 51). She is built in Vietnam which allows lower labour rates while not compromising on quality. The reviewers felt that, given what’s included in the base price, the Seawind 1600 represents better than average value for money.
