How lucky you are to be rigging basically the same boat that you guys are getting.This will make rigging your new boat so much easier.Getting to go on a shakedown cruise also,gives you a chance to see how she handles.The two of you are truly blessed! I am excited to see the new boat and looking forward to new adventures. Thanks for sharing!
Last April we sailed the Whitsundays on a Seawind 1160. There were 4 of us and we were very comfortable. You'll love it. There's heaps of room on the 1160 especially for you both and Jetty of course. Gorgeous girl.
Sierra and Billy, as a small RUclips channel creator (compared to yours) myself, I appreciate the time you spend creating and editing very entertaining content! I'm coming late to the game on your channel and always looking forward to the next and watching those I haven't seen yet! Thanks for all the great content and the time it takes to produce!
I’m not a sailor, and have never had any interest in a sail boat, but love following your adventures. After seeing this Seawind, I’m really excited for you to get your boat and start the whole video series of the new boat and more adventures. 👍🏻👍🏻
You're a good man. This is why you get invited to do cool stuff. How great is it that you get to rig a boat similar to the one you have coming, and then invited to sail it. My dad used to always say that when there's a job to be done do it now now now! That's how you become valuable to others.
After that video, I can’t wait until you guys get to do the same with your new boat!! What a great opportunity to go through everything and learn from this boat. I can’t even imagine how excited you guys must be after that….. Go sailing for sure!! Fair winds from Boston!
Hi Billy & Sierra. My wife and I were in Annapolis at the boat show, the same time as you, Nick & Terysa. In fact we met them both by pure coincidence when we were on board the same Seawind 1260 and had a really good chat. We subscribe to both channels and are Patreon’s of theirs. We obviously didn’t know then, that they/you/ and us had all ordered our cats around the same time!
Our 1260 was completed in March, but was then shrink wrapped and put in storage in Vietnam as we couldn’t get in (and still can’t 🙁). We found your video on commissioning incredibly interesting. We were offered the chance to ship ours to Miami. I think it might actually have been on the same cargo ship as the one you helped commission. As first time owners of a boat, we had to refuse the offer simply due to timing. We thought it would be impossible for us to get insurance at this time due to it being hurricane season. We’ve just checked with Seawind, but they don’t currently have plans to charter a cargo ship again to Miami. This would mean a standard shipping charge of around $90K-$100K. As you mentioned getting your 1160 shipped to Miami, are you aware of any reliable companies delivering Seawinds there that are much cheaper?
Hey I am just watching the latest Sailing Cadoha video on RUclips, and I saw something that you would probably might be interested in.. in today's episode Sailing England's Jurassic Coast, he goes eboarding. It's hydroplaning exactly as you were doing with the kite, the only difference is there's no kite. You just stand on it and go. Just thought it might be something you might enjoy trying. I love you guys videos, and is caregiver for my 93 year old mother with dementia I don't get out much. So I really appreciate coming along on your adventures. Keep up the good work
How awesome! I’m also in the que for a Seawind 1160 and expecting delivery in ‘22 hopefully. I live in Fort Pierce just up the road from Stuart so your video really resonated w me. Looking forward to following you guys as you take delivery of your boat. Maybe we can have a caravan sail to the Bahamas 😊
Now you are trained-up for commissioning your own boat! We commissioned our 1160 Lite in that same yard in Feb 2019. At that time, it was empty. It's a tight motor to get back in there. Plus the tide went out during the day, and left us sitting on boat. Albeit drawing less than 4 feet!
I might suggest on your boat that you use corrosion inhibiter on the joints of the mast, the roller furling, and all threaded bits. Most likely you'd be real glad you did at some point in the future. Your enthusiasm is infectious! We love following along on your journeys.
Thanks so much for the rec. Kendall. We actually did here where any dissimilar metals touched. We used loctite on the threads of the set screws for the furler and tef gel for all the rivets on the mast
Thanks for the video. I cant wait for you to get your new boat. I am fascinated that you still had that much assembly to do on a new boat when it is delivered. Thanks
Okay let’s see the maiden voyage and then tell us the story of your boat. Somehow I missed that explanation. Thank you this commissioning was great fun.
Hey Bill or Sierra or even Jetty, The seawind looks really nice. The blue on teal lobster boat you were working next to on the hard looked beautiful as well. At 5:21, Scott mentioned that, "we taped 'em," (the wires), "about every foot and a half..." I would think that as time goes on one or maybe two wires will eventually go bad. Seeing as they are taped together, you'll just have to abandon that wire in the tube. What do you think about putting a running hitch around the wires? That way you can pull from the top and all of the wires stay together. And if you want, you can pull the bitter end of the running hitch at the bottom of the mast to remove it, thus allowing you to remove old or non-usable wires in the mast. The old/non-useable wires can also act as your messenger when you need to replace it. When it's taped, you can't even use it as a messenger. Just a thought...
Oh my! That must have been exciting and then at the same time frustrating as your boat is still some time off in the future! I know your friends on Ruby Rose are just as excited and have sailing on Seawind's for experience for their new boat too. I am very excited about your new boat. By the way as far as selling your old boat, make sure all interested parties are getting their certificates through ASA, as it will help them get their insurance for the boat. Often times classes and certifications will count as experience years. It might make it easier, even if it takes a little longer for them to close it might help you get it sold with it's age!
Good video. I like that Australian boat . The doors that opens to make one big space to the outside is great. Can’t wait to see yours perform. When I was dreaming of a cat . That was the one that caught my eye. I like it with polished metal doors. That’s cool pro furler
Of course we want to see y'all go for a sail on that beautiful Seawind. I can't afford the larger models from this builder but we're seriously considering one of the smaller ones...
Thanks for making this video.Yes looking forward to your sail to Georgia. We’re SW 1160 hull 592 starting to build shortly. It was helpful to see the mast construction and wiring.We opted to supply our own Garmin equipment and this gave us an idea of what we need to do to run wires and conduit. Be great if you do a video on your commissioning and installation of siren marine. Keep up the good work, you two are such a pleasure to watch!
What a beauty. Yes it would be great to see the adventure. Question Billy, if you still own "Adrenaline" and gave back the loaner, why not use Adrenaline still?
There’s no greywater issues on the GBR, just Blackwater in certain zones! Interesting to see how it all goes together, as a marine repairer, I’d be putting protection on a lot of those parts, and especially the threads. I saw the loctite and that’s fine but.......!? There’s quite a few 1260’s as bareboat characters in the Whitsundays (GBR) Australia, or there was prior to CoVid19! I’ve no doubt you guys are very keen to get your own new cat! Thanks for sharing. 😎🏖🌴☀️🇦🇺
Dunno if this question came up but... I'm don't know much about sailboats but if the electrical lines were taped every foot when they were pulled through the conduit inside the mast, if one of those lines needs to be replaced, wouldn't you need to disconnect and pull the entire taped bundle?
Heck yeah man!!! We always wanna set y'all sail!! I'm so excited to see you guys get your new boat and we can see you guys are just busting with excitement to get your boat!!! Big fan and sending hugs and love from Tennessee :)
So I’m feeling for you guys…. Have had a Corvette C8 Convert on order for over 20 months now… Seen a few on the road but not up close and personal… you ARE up close and personal… and I’m sure that’s going to drive you nuts… waiting, and waiting…. And waiting! Great Vid… Sea Winds seems to be a Best of Class Cat… looking forward to your adventures on the new Cat!
I like the new sailboat and I'm looking forward to see your new sailboat what model are you getting I understand how it feels to wait for something you really want great video I'm looking forward to seeing your next video
I know you are really excited for the arrival of the new boat in a couple of month's and so are all of us. Helping commissioning this boat had to make you very anxious. Enjoy the sail to Georgia.
All I can say is M O R E ! Of course we want to see ya'll sail on the Boat🚢! And yes I don't think we can wait to see ya'll get your Boat ether. Lol ! Thank you so much for this week's video! So until next week, Aloha and Mahalo from the Big Island 🏝of Hawaii 🏝 P.s. would love to see more on the boat 🚢.
lol "It's seems so big." After the postage stamp size quarters you have been living in for how many years? Small wonder. :) I'm really looking forward to you taking possession of your new Cat.
When you rent a mooring at Catalina (island off So California) they put orange dye in your plumbing so they can see immediately if you are emptying into the ocean.
How lucky those guys had you nearby to help set up this beautiful Cat! Of course I don’t believe they had to do much convincing to get you to assist them!
I live here in Stuart. Great place (but very hot right now). I am a first-time viewer. Thank you for a great job. Quick edit: just saw your intro video. I too am a teacher. Is that correct grammar?
When you guys ran the electrical through the mass your friend said that he taped all the wires together. What happens when the boat owners need to change a weather station that has a different connection or antenna wire?
Good observation. I don't think I'd tape them because you can never pull out a bad wire or cable and use it to pull in a new one. I've put myself in that bind before with things not associated with sailing a boat.
Did you guys get a electric stove and oven on your new boat? Notice during the pandemic propane seam to be a problem but diesel fuel and gas seam to be no problem to get.
Nice!! Scott supporting the Burnt Store - Safe harbor shirt!

We ALL feel the same way... We can't wait to watch you guys fall in love with your new boat.
It's gonna be SO MUCH FUN !
Yes we want to see you sail, and hear your opinion. So happy for you both and Jenny

It is so cool you get a chance to experience this before you go through it yourselves. What a nice training experience.
WOW how incredible that was. so excited to see you guys commission your bout/home. just incredible.
Hope you and Sierra are set for many new adventures!
So excited for January... Not only cuz you guys get your own Seawind.... It's a beautiful Cat!!! ✌🏻💗☺️❣️

how long did your Seawind take to order?
Now you are trained-up for commissioning your own boat! We commissioned our 1160 Lite in that same yard in Feb 2019. At that time, it was empty. It's a tight motor to get back in there. Plus the tide went out during the day, and left us sitting on boat. Albeit drawing less than 4 feet!
Nice boat. Great experience to see the commissioning of one. You left out the most interesting part - tuning the standing rigging.
I might suggest on your boat that you use corrosion inhibiter on the joints of the mast, the roller furling, and all threaded bits. Most likely you'd be real glad you did at some point in the future.
Your enthusiasm is infectious! We love following along on your journeys.
Thanks so much for the rec. Kendall. We actually did here where any dissimilar metals touched. We used loctite on the threads of the set screws for the furler and tef gel for all the rivets on the mast
Definitely. It's fun to see the "shake out " issues.
Really excited for you guys. Do not forget to take the parents for a cruise! Signed from a parent. JC
Of course we want to see you sail. That's why we're here! Have fun on the trip.
Lol yes indeed we do..... 🤙🏽
Thanks for the video. I cant wait for you to get your new boat. I am fascinated that you still had that much assembly to do on a new boat when it is delivered. Thanks
Okay let’s see the maiden voyage and then tell us the story of your boat. Somehow I missed that explanation. Thank you this commissioning was great fun.
Are you kidding me. Wow. No wonder you can't wait. Man you've come a long way. Good on YOU.
Absolutely want to see you guys go sailing on this new boat!⛵️😁👍
WOW, I had no idea setting up a Sailboat was that much, amazing…. Enjoy ✌🏼❤️☀️🐾
What a great opportunity for a ‘test run’ before you get your new boat
Please let us know when you will be in the Brunswick, Ga area!!! You have a bunch of fans here and we would love to see you guys!!!

Beautiful boat. You guys have really come a longģggggggggg wayyyyyyy.
Be interesting to see how you and Ruby Rose fit out your new boats. They have a vid on their options just out.
So excited for you guys…..a new Seawind is coming your way! Sooooooon.

That is a gorgeous boat!! Yes!!!! We all want to see it sail!!! Thank you!!!!
Very satisfying - like a giant unboxing video!
So wires.... with them taped, how do you replace individual wires? Pull the whole bundle?
Of course we want to see y'all go for a sail on that beautiful Seawind.
I can't afford the larger models from this builder but we're seriously considering one of the smaller ones...
Can't wait to see which seawind you'll be getting. Definitely number 1 catamaran on our list. 🌞🐟🐚⛵
Thanks for making this video.Yes looking forward to your sail to Georgia. We’re SW 1160 hull 592 starting to build shortly.

Yes I want to see that sail up to Brunswick.
Also, I thought you were getting the 1260, so what are you getting?
They are getting the Seawind 1160.
Are you guys going to get screens for the windows to keep mosquitoes out? If you do show install please.
Just a few months ahead for exciting times and excellent adventures!
Cool. Nice boat. Sailing Ruby Rose went with the 1370 version.
Thanks for posting and sharing. Really interesting to see the boat getting set up and ready to sail!
What a beauty. Yes it would be great to see the adventure. Question Billy, if you still own "Adrenaline" and gave back the loaner, why not use Adrenaline still?
Can't wait to see you all get to sail on this boat next week!
I’ve never been so excited to see someone else get a new boat... I look forward to all the future adventures when y’all get your boat in...
There’s no greywater issues on the GBR, just Blackwater in certain zones! Interesting to see how it all goes together, as a marine repairer, I’d be putting protection on a lot of those parts, and especially the threads. I saw the loctite and that’s fine but.......!?

Very informative!!! I love Seawind. Would love to see you sail this to Ga.
So I’m feeling for you guys…. Have had a Corvette C8 Convert on order for over 20 months now… Seen a few on the road but not up close and personal… you ARE up close and personal… and I’m sure that’s going to drive you nuts… waiting, and waiting….

I would like to see you guys trip to Brunswick sounds like fun
Yes we want to watch it
I like the new sailboat and I'm looking forward to see your new sailboat what model are you getting I understand how it feels to wait for something you really want great video I'm looking forward to seeing your next video
Let's Go Sailing! Ya!
I know you are really excited for the arrival of the new boat in a couple of month's and so are all of us. Helping commissioning this boat had to make you very anxious. Enjoy the sail to Georgia.
Did you guys make a cost difference on Slips etc.. for this boat. Compared to your Sail and Trawler?
All I can say is M O R E ! Of course we want to see ya'll sail on the Boat🚢! And yes I don't think we can wait to see ya'll get your Boat ether. Lol !
Thank you so much for this week's video! So until next week,
Aloha and Mahalo from the Big Island 🏝of Hawaii 🏝
P.s. would love to see more on the boat 🚢.
Great video to accidentally stumble onto your channel. New subscriber, looking forward to new vids and going back through your previous…
I think I might be more excited for this boat then you guys are! Cant wait for all the upcoming vids with this baby!
15:13 did he forget your name already? haha 16:19 That's not a debate!!! That is coercion in progress!
Excited for you to get your boat
Super Happy for you guys!, But I’m super jealous. I so wanna live on a catamaran
Sierra..look at you go with that great suggestion!!! I bet they use that idea from now on!! Go girl❤️
lol "It's seems so big." After the postage stamp size quarters you have been living in for how many years? Small wonder. :) I'm really looking forward to you taking possession of your new Cat.
Yes take us for a sail
Pretty cool preparing a new boat for the shake down cruise as always thanks for sharing 👍 yesireebob
Absolutely we want to see you sailing this new vessel!! ⚓⛵
This will be epic for you guys. Congratulations
Scott sounds like he definitely, positively, surely knows what he is talking about. The self-confidence in his demeanor is evident.
Thanks for the compliment Milton, and if there’s anything I could ever help you with Seawind related I’m just a call or text away.
When you rent a mooring at Catalina (island off So California) they put orange dye in your plumbing so they can see immediately if you are emptying into the ocean.
Can’t wait for you guys to get your new cat.
How lucky those guys had you nearby to help set up this beautiful Cat! Of course I don’t believe they had to do much convincing to get you to assist them!
Cat looks like the inside of a trailer 😂 You would think money would buy better quality !
I guess you guys will be all set to commission your new boat when it comes in. Good luck, I hope you get it soon. Keep the good stuff coming.
Did they get a 1260 also?
Yeah mate love to see you guys go sale that boat
Hell yes we want to see you sail that boat! Love the videos 😊
oh, man, so cool, I LOVE this boat, I look forward to seeing you both sail this baby
Very informative video. Fascrinatin and looking forward to the sail!
We just sailed through the Whitsundays on this exact model boat
Such an awesome vessel 😎
Love the vids ⛵️
I've seen better looking trailers inside of trailer parks than this cat 😂
Awesome boat, looking forward to seeing your first trip in it.
I live here in Stuart. Great place (but very hot right now). I am a first-time viewer. Thank you for a great job. Quick edit: just saw your intro video. I too am a teacher. Is that correct grammar?
18:20 - is that Taylor’s (Taylor’s Travels) boat behind Billy?
7:10 Yeah. Let's do the sail.
When you guys ran the electrical through the mass your friend said that he taped all the wires together. What happens when the boat owners need to change a weather station that has a different connection or antenna wire?
Good observation. I don't think I'd tape them because you can never pull out a bad wire or cable and use it to pull in a new one. I've put myself in that bind before with things not associated with sailing a boat.
Helping your friends.. will help a lot with yours
I'm so excited for you two.
Sorry, new into this, every Seawind have to be commission by yourself, the manufacturer does have a complete setup before delivery?
Did the upper wire conduit connect with the lower conduit?
Are you getting the yanmar inboards or the honda 20's on your seawind 1160?
Hope you can make the trip to Brunswick, and the Golden Isles.
Great to see a new boat commissioning - thanks
Did you guys get a electric stove and oven on your new boat? Notice during the pandemic propane seam to be a problem but diesel fuel and gas seam to be no problem to get.
The mast segment was very informative.
Can you tell us the difference between this boat and yours?
Yes!
is it possible to mount 360 or 400 watt panels off the back?
