Sailing’s not always blue skies, calm seas and fair winds and that’s certainly not what we got on Our Dreamtime in Sulawesi for this episode. Try sunshine and wind followed by squalls, followed by blue skies and no wind followed by squalls. Welcome to the reality of cruising. Fortunately when we got there, Pulau Labengke once again proved a beautiful, calm and very safe anchorage for us to kick back and relax for a couple of days before pushing further south.

Seawind 1600 © Seawind Catamarans Length overall: 16.10 m or 52 ft 8 in Beam: 8.10 m or 26 ft 6 in Draft (boards up/down): 0.60 m or 2 ft 1 in to 2.60 m or 8 ft 6 in Displacement: 14,400 kg or 31,700 lb Engines: 2 x 57 hp to 80 hp Fuel capacity: 750 L or 200 US gal Water capacity: 658 L or 174 US gal Mainsail area: 100 m² or 1,080 sq ft Cabins: 3-4 Berths: 6-10 persons The Seawind 1600 is the high-performance flagship of the Australian brand, designed by world-renowned naval architects Reichel/Pugh to deliver exceptional ocean-crossing speeds without compromising live-aboard comfort. 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
