RAKUSU was the boat show sample when they introduced the 1260 model. It immediately made Cruising World “Best Cruising Catamaran under 50 ft” in 2018.
It is a brilliant design with a very large living space when the innovative “Trifold” cockpit door is opened. One very special aspect is the there is no plywood used in the construction, just infused Vinylester and foam core construction.
RAKUSU is easily single handed with most of the controls leading to the helms and a self tacking jib.
RAKUSU is currently being shipped to West Palm Beach and will be available for viewing soon.
Seawind an Australian owned catamaran company has put years of experience and customer feedback into this design producing a revolutionary model with real sailors in mind, this design is bound to please the catamaran sailor with true cruising ambitions.
She is true to Seawind’s core values, offering well rounded performance, comfort and blue-water capabilities but will be much larger in terms of interior volume than her predecessors. Unlike other catamarans with increased internal volume the 1260 will maintain the familiar streamlined under water profile the range is so well renowned for. Following the companies seven principals for the perfect cruiser this new catamaran design will provide all the features and comforts one would desire on any ocean crossing, like all Seawind cats the 1260 is a truly robust design
