Built with advanced vacuum-infused composites including carbon fiber and Kevlar reinforcement, this 52-foot catamaran offers the structural rigidity needed for blue water sailing. A defining technical feature is the fully retractable daggerboards and rudders, which allow for windward precision when deployed and a remarkably shallow 2-foot draft for beaching and thin-water exploration. The deck layout features protected twin helm stations that provide 360-degree visibility while keeping the skipper sheltered under the hardtop bimini. Unlike traditional open-concept catamarans, the 1600 utilizes a two-step transition into a cozy, light-filled saloon that features a forward-facing navigation station and a massive U-shaped galley. With a high-aspect fractional rig and all control lines led aft for short-handed management, the 1600 is engineered for couples seeking a fast, balanced, and safe platform for global circumnavigation. A new factory build typically starts at 1.5 million US dollars. #Seawind1600 #SailingCatamaran #BlueWaterCruiser #HarbourMasters
The Royal Ocean Racing Club Season's Points Championship is the world's largest offshore racing series. Last year, 9223 sailors raced in an astounding variety of 729 offshore certified boats. Over the past ten editions of the RORC Season’s Points Championship, the overall winning boat has always been under 47ft (14.33m) and more often than not crewed by a Corinthian team. The overall winner is decided by the IRC Rating Rule, jointly administered by the RORC and the UNCL Pôle Course du YCF. The overall trophies in nearly all the world's blue riband offshore races are awarded using the IRC rating system. During 2024, the Royal Ocean Racing Club is organising or assisting with four inshore racing events. The RORC Easter Challenge, The GBR IRC National Championships, The Vice Admiral’s Cup and the IRC European Championships. All of the inshore regattas will feature multiple races per day on technical windward leeward racecourses or longer inshore races.. For more information: https://rorc.org/
