The Seawind 1370 is the newest boat in the range, a clean-sheet 45-foot catamaran that marked the Australian yard serious entry into the mid-forties bluewater market. It arrived to immediate recognition, picking up award nominations against far longer-established European names, and it is easy to see why. Here is a cruising cat that carries 116 square metres of sail on a 7.6-metre beam, keeps draft to a manageable 1.3 metres, and still comes in at a controlled 12.3 tonnes thanks to resin-infused construction.
The 1370 inherits the Seawind signatures that matter offshore. Twin helm stations sit under a large targa with full weather protection and 360-degree visibility, and the trifold door drops the barrier between saloon and cockpit so the whole crew shares one space. Forward-facing saloon windows and cross-flow ventilation keep the interior bright and cool without constant reliance on air conditioning. Below, the layout offers genuine liveaboard volume with cabins that sleep a family in comfort.
What makes the 1370 compelling is how much capability it folds into a 45-foot footprint. It sails lively enough to keep an experienced owner engaged, manages its loads for a shorthanded couple, and delivers the accommodation and systems space of a bigger boat. For buyers shopping the crowded mid-size cruising-cat market, it reads as one of the most complete recent designs.

The 1370 carries 116 square metres of sail on a 7.6-metre beam, and at just 12.3 tonnes light she has the power-to-weight to use it. Resin-infused laminates keep the structure stiff and the displacement honest, so the boat accelerates in a puff rather than wallowing. Draft of 1.3 metres strikes a practical balance, giving decent upwind grip while still opening shallow anchorages. Twin Yanmar 40 horsepower saildrives handle manoeuvring and windless passages. The slim, fine hull profiles minimise drag and wave slap, and the raised bridgedeck cabins reduce pounding in a seaway. The payoff is a cruising catamaran that genuinely sails, holding good average speeds on passage and staying engaging on the helm, without demanding a racing crew to get the best from her.
The 1370 looks modern and purposeful, with a large targa top shading the helms and cockpit and a profile free of clutter. The protected twin helm stations are the defining feature, delivering 360-degree sightlines and shelter that makes long watches far more comfortable than an exposed single wheel. Side decks are wide and secured by triple lifelines, and the deep cockpit sits behind the signature lockable trifold door. Extended transom scoops ease boarding and tender handling, and there is real stowage for the gear a cruising family accumulates. Flat decks and sensible handholds make the boat easy to move around under way. As with every Seawind, the exterior earns its looks through function first, which is why the design should age gracefully.
Inside, the 1370 trades on light and volume rather than cabin count for its own sake. Forward-facing saloon windows and generous hatches flood the interior with daylight, and the cross-flow ventilation keeps it comfortable in warm climates without running air conditioning around the clock. The accommodation sleeps a family in comfort, with layouts that can be tailored toward an owner version or a more guest-focused plan. Headroom and sightlines feel expansive for a 45-footer, a direct benefit of the raised bridgedeck and the beam carried well forward. Materials and joinery are finished to a warm, durable standard suited to months aboard. This is an interior designed for living at anchor in far-flung places, not just for a weekend at the marina.
The 1370 is built around the Seawind indoor-outdoor concept. The trifold door folds away to merge saloon and cockpit into a single entertaining space, with the galley positioned so the cook stays part of the group. Panoramic glazing keeps everyone connected to the water whether inside or out. The targa-shaded cockpit is the natural social hub at anchor, while the foredeck trampolines and lounging areas give the crew somewhere to escape with a book. Flow between zones is easy and intuitive, and the layout works as well for a quiet couple as it does for a cockpit full of family. Few cruising cats this size manage the transition between sheltered helm and open-air living as neatly.
The 1370 is built to RCD Category A using resin infusion for consistent, controlled-weight laminates, the same process that underpins the larger Seawinds. As a current-production model it comes with factory warranty and the backing of a worldwide dealer and commissioning network, which matters for owners who plan to cruise far from home. New boats are typically specified with significant factory options, and base pricing starts around the high 700,000-euro mark depending on configuration and exchange rates, placing it competitively against European rivals that often cost considerably more. A young brokerage market is beginning to appear as early hulls change hands. For a buyer who wants a genuinely new, genuinely capable mid-size cruising catamaran from a yard with four decades of offshore focus, the 1370 is one of the strongest cases on the market.
