Our Seawind 1600 Catamaran, Wanderlust, is Finally Here - Ep. 1

The day we had been waiting for since last October had finally arrived. Our new catamaran, also our new home, was waiting for us at Merrill Stevens Shipyard in Miami. Seeing our boat for the first time was the culmination of a nine month waiting period. We ordered our Seawind 1600 in October of 2019, and the production team shared videos of the build out process with us which we loved since we unfortunately couldn’t go to Vietnam. Not only our world, but the world as a whole changed drastically in those nine months. With the arrival of COVID-19 in March, we couldn’t help but wonder if we made the right decision. Everything was in motion so we kept moving forward. We sold our home of 16 years, and moved twice in two months, with the plan to move onboard the boat once she arrived.

On the first day of commissioning everything was unwrapped and the team began setting up and testing the systems. Nance & Underwood Rigging and Sails arrived on the second day to assemble the mast and run the rigging. The next day a huge crane lifted the mast assembly and the team carefully stepped the mast. On the fourth day we sailed her up to Fort Lauderdale. It was surreal going through the canals of Fort Lauderdale on our new boat. It truly was a dream come true!

We are super grateful to the Seawind Catamaran team and Steve from Finish Line for allowing us to observe and document the commissioning process. A huge thanks also to Nance + Underwood and the Merrill Stevens shipyard. It was an awesome experience and we’re thrilled to share it with you! Let us know what you think in the comments below. 🙂
