What you DONT SEE when you buy a brand new Catamaran - Commissioning a Seawind 1260

We were lucky enough to be invited by Scott Wallingford (@Scottywalli on IG) and Rob Wright (@wrightyachtsales) to help commission a brand new Seawind 1260 Catamaran they had coming in so that we could get a chance to see and learn a bit about the commissioning process and lend some extra hands to them in the process. It was an awesome experience to see how the boat comes from the factory and the transformation that takes place to get her to her top form. Thanks so much for having us Scott and Rob!!

    How lucky you are to be rigging basically the same boat that you guys are getting.This will make rigging your new boat so much easier.Getting to go on a shakedown cruise also,gives you a chance to see how she handles.The two of you are truly blessed! I am excited to see the new boat and looking forward to new adventures. Thanks for sharing!

    Hi Billy & Sierra. My wife and I were in Annapolis at the boat show, the same time as you, Nick & Terysa. In fact we met them both by pure coincidence when we were on board the same Seawind 1260 and had a really good chat. We subscribe to both channels and are Patreon’s of theirs. We obviously didn’t know then, that they/you/ and us had all ordered our cats around the same time!

    Our 1260 was completed in March, but was then shrink wrapped and put in storage in Vietnam as we couldn’t get in (and still can’t 🙁). We found your video on commissioning incredibly interesting. We were offered the chance to ship ours to Miami. I think it might actually have been on the same cargo ship as the one you helped commission. As first time owners of a boat, we had to refuse the offer simply due to timing. We thought it would be impossible for us to get insurance at this time due to it being hurricane season. We’ve just checked with Seawind, but they don’t currently have plans to charter a cargo ship again to Miami. This would mean a standard shipping charge of around $90K-$100K. As you mentioned getting your 1160 shipped to Miami, are you aware of any reliable companies delivering Seawinds there that are much cheaper?

It's hydroplaning exactly as you were doing with the kite, the only difference is there's no kite. You just stand on it and go. Just thought it might be something you might enjoy trying.

    Oh my! That must have been exciting and then at the same time frustrating as your boat is still some time off in the future! I know your friends on Ruby Rose are just as excited and have sailing on Seawind's for experience for their new boat too. I am very excited about your new boat. By the way as far as selling your old boat, make sure all interested parties are getting their certificates through ASA, as it will help them get their insurance for the boat. Often times classes and certifications will count as experience years. It might make it easier, even if it takes a little longer for them to close it might help you get it sold with it's age!
