This delivery involved collecting a brand new Seawind 1260 directly from the factory in Vung Tau, Vietnam before delivering the vessel south for the owner.
The catamaran delivery crew flew from Australia to meet the yacht prior to departure and complete final offshore preparations. Delivering new production catamarans straight from the factory is always slightly different from relocating established cruising boats. A significant amount of time is spent checking systems, rig setup, sail handling gear, and onboard equipment before committing to extended offshore passages.
The route south from Vung Tau required careful seasonal planning through Southeast Asia.
The Seawind 1260 performed well throughout the passage. These boats are well regarded as practical offshore cruising catamarans with efficient sail plans, manageable systems, and good offshore visibility from the helm positions, making them well suited to longer international relocation work.
At Yacht Delivery Solutions, deliveries of new catamarans from the production facilities into Australia are routine.
