We're doing some boat projects and editing in Freeport. With the strong Northern wind and having to get our 5 Day Covid test this was the perfect place to be. But now free to Roam around the Bahamas we are just waiting on the weather to let us head to the Abacos. Hopefully tomorrow will be the day.

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!

In this video we show you how the non-foiling Farrier F-82R trimaran Unleaded is much wetter than the foiling Custom Cochrane 10m Dragon in rough conditions in Swiftsure 2023.

On November 27, 2018 we took the second carbon cutter out for a test sail. With only 12 knots of true breeze, the boat moved along nicely on a reach easily getting up to a speed of 8 knots.
