Toni and I will be at the 2025 Annapolis Fall Sailboat Show on Thursday and Friday, October 9-10. If you see us, say Hi. 2025 has been a year of change for our Seawind 1260, “Moments in Time”. After sailing her as delivered for a season, we had a list of improvements that we wanted to get check off the list. This is one of the last ones. We originally swore we would never close in the cockpit as that was one of our favorite features. We spend more time relaxing in the cockpit than our saloon. But certain beautiful anchorages along Chesapeake’s eastern shore are forbidden certain times of the year due to vicious swarms of bugs. Screening in the cockpit now opens these anchorages back up. The visibility looking out from the cockpit is excellent so we can still enjoy our views but the visibility from the outside looking in is muted, providing some privacy. We can the screens up while sailing, or remove them for storage. We also had blackouts made for the saloon windows in the same pattern as the “Screens Saloon Shade Clip On” 1260 option which only blocked 40 percent of the sunshine. 40 percent is not enough when at a marina or trying to run the air conditioner on hot sunny days. The saloon glass can get so hot you can barely touch it and would radiate the heat. These new shades block 95 percent of the heat, allows light in, provides privacy, and the beige color really knocks down the inside temperatures. Downside is that they must be removed while underway. And since they had the sewing machine and material out, we had some winch covers made as well. Another checkmark closer to releasing the lines. Subscribe and share in the adventure!

► Full test in Multihulls World N195: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/motor/yot-36-the-new-wave-of-twin-hulled-motorboating ► In deciding not to market a power version of the Bali Catsmart, the Catana Group was keen to develop a concept and soon a range totally disconnected from the sailing culture built up by Catana and Bali. The very first 36-foot YOT is presented as a weekender - a big toy with a metallic gelcoat that you’ll just love... in fact, YOT sounds like a childish version of “yacht”, and also, it’s TOY in reverse. YOT/TOY, in a way, like NEEL/LEEN: two metatheses with the same “marketing mission”, and yet a completely opposite end goal - to stand out from sailing for YOT, and to draw inspiration from it for LEEN. Nevertheless, this first YOT 36 is a real eye-catcher. Devilishly attractive, this model should appeal to single-hull powerboat enthusiasts and first-time buyers alike. The outboard-powered range is set to expand rapidly before being completed by inboard models. These new powercats are built in Portugal, and the Catana Group makes no secret of its ambitions for its new brand: the aim is to match the sailing market by 2030, with no fewer than 400 YOTs built every year... ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: YOT (Catana Group) Architect: J&J Design Material: polyester with carbon reinforcements Overall length: 35’10” (10.92 m) Beam: 13’1”/17’9” (3.99/5.4 m) Engines: 2 x 225 HP or 2 x 300 HP Fuel: 2 x 150 US gal (2 x 575 l) Water: 2 x 39 US gal (2 x 150 l) Number of cabins: 2 Passengers: 10 CE Category: B ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
