We Were WRONG About This Boat! [Full In-Depth Tour] Learning the Lines

A perfect theme song, "I got it right and I've got it wrong, I learned my lesson by hanging on.." Words of wisdom. Great that you can come back and say you got it wrong and why. I can appreciate that.

Sailing Ruby Rose have bought the new Seawind 1370 (I think) 45foot version. They have been working with Seawind on the design. I really like this boat, the 1160. The fact it has 3 fridges 2 top load and 1 " bar" type fridge is really great but I would make at least one of the another freezer. I also love the owners side of the cat. The bedroom is in the right place and the fact you can get to both sides of the bed to make it is a big plus. The one minus I can see is all the electrical stuff under the seats in the "lounge" dinning area, taking up valuable storage spots, maybe they could be put someplace else. Great cat , thanks for the tour.

I absolutely love that the fridge is not sitting on the sole. I absolutely hate having to bend over to dig around in a mini-fridge. Makes so much more sense to put it where you can better view and utilize. Brilliant small touch. Nice boat.

Seawind is getting a big thumbs up from me! And getting great reviews. They’re on the list for Cats when we set sail in a few days years time. Well appointed, quality build without the massive price tag. What is there not to love. Thanks guys.

I'm glad you two got to reprise your review. BTW Brandy is looking radiant. I'm happy for both of you.

Love you guys. So happy to hear about your new addition. May the best of everything be yours. Smooth sailing. Peace;

Thanks for keeping an open mind. The more I see, the more I'm really starting to like Seawinds as a current production cat. Very sensible and practical designs, decent performance, great visibility, etc. They're simple. but have really well thought out design and details. Very cruising oriented, there's tons of storage even on the 1160. The 1370 is going to sell very well. Being quite a bit larger, it has galley up, which I think makes a lot of sense as a social space with the salon as great room. On land, many people gather around food in the kitchen. P.S. Seawind has an electric outboard option on the 1160.

You guys do a fantastic job of showing boats! I will be buying a boat in the next few years and I appreciate your channel. Congrats with your new addition. Keep up the good work. BTW I really like the large windows on this boat. Price is also good.

Awesome Boat 👍 and awesome that you got to use it 😎 your future child can watch this 20 years for now and say "Hey; I'm in the video too" LOL

You guys are fantastic in this review. Thanks, it’s nice for me to dream. 🙂

Awesome boat.. gorgeous views as well as Randy’s pregnancy glow is perfect! Great vid! 👌🏽😎

More and more impressed with SeaWind, every video I see. 8:57 - Excellent grill location, as well. Electric sail drives are an obvious and necessary upgrade.

I'm looking forward to seeing you guys actually sailing a boat again. 😊👍👍👍👍

Thanks, great review. 😎👍🏻

Keep up the good work... i imagine after this, you will be doing more of these bare boat charters =)

Wow- I sure can relate! We were wrong about our initial impression of this fabulous vessel too! We had a last-minute opportunity to do a bareboat charter of it in Morten Bay (Queensland, Australia) for ten days, and this was the only vessel available at the time, so I signed up somewhat begrudgingly. It turned out to be a blast to sail and very functional too, even with a crew of four adults and three children. As a life-long sailor, and long-term live-aboard with a Yachtmasters, I had a lot of pre-conceived expectations that proved to be just prejudicial. Indeed it was crying out to be converted to electric outboards, although the petrol engines weren't as bad as expected, and lifting them out of the water often gave a bonus knot or so! The galley below was massive, and we did a lot of the prep work on the saloon table, and most of the cooking on the aft deck BBQ too. Here's an action video of the trip; https://vimeo.com/316529361 However, just after that, I heard about the next version, the 1190 sport, and it looks even better again...

Hope you guys go for it, love the boat!

Ruby Rose 2 is worth a look. They just picked a Seawind as their best pick. Though I think that for long term you'll find the bigger boats more suited to live aboard.

Nice thanks for keeping it real.

Thanks for looking at the sea wind again they’re great boats.
