Seawind 1190 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Seawind 1190 means looking at a 39-foot performance cat that began production in 2017 as a lighter, sportier take on the builder’s cruising line. Most used examples you will meet are owner three-cabin layouts, though both configurations appear, and ex-charter boats are a common sight. Knowing what was standard, what owners added, and what to inspect will sharpen any purchase decision.
Layouts on the Used Market
The dominant used layout is the owner three-cabin version, with private cabins fore and aft in each hull and a head in each. Ex-charter boats are common and typically follow the same three-cabin owner pattern. The galley-down design places the longitudinal galley mid-starboard with the owner’s athwartship bunk forward to port, and the saloon opens via a trifold door that stows in the roof. A second head in the starboard hull was an option, so verify which configuration a specific boat carries.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Power and energy systems on these boats commonly include solar panels, lithium batteries, an inverter, and a chartplotter, reflecting the standard twin Honda outboards and the sailaway inclusion of AGM batteries. Navigation is commonly handled by autopilot, AIS, and radar, while sail handling leans on a furling main, self-tacking jib, and an asymmetric spinnaker or gennaker flown from the standard carbon sprit for short-handed passages. Comfort equipment commonly fitted includes a cockpit shower, bimini, hot water, freezer, and dinghy davits, with electric winches frequently part of the package.
What to Inspect
The one documented known issue from the review record is that fuel hoses leading from the gasoline tank to the engine were not up to U.S. specs on the evaluated boat; any U.S.-spec example should have this corrected or be budgeted for replacement. A normal catamaran survey of hulls, daggerboards, and outboard wells remains the buyer’s baseline.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
The typical market for these cats is Australia. For a shopper, the practical checklist is: confirm layout (owner three-cabin vs. optional second head), verify fuel-hose compliance on gasoline systems, check solar and lithium energy upgrades, confirm carbon-sprit sail package and electric winches for short-handed ease, and assess ex-charter wear if buying a former fleet boat.
