Seawind 1000XL2

Sundowner is a well-presented 2014 Seawind 1000 XL2, one of Australia 27s most successful and versatile performance cruising catamarans. Designed and built to handle Australian conditions, the XL2 is widely respected for its balance of sailing performance, comfort and practical liveability, making it equally suited to coastal cruising, social racing or relaxed family weekends on the water.

One of Sundowner 27s standout features is the highly sought-after open-plan saloon and cockpit layout, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living spaces. This design delivers excellent ventilation, generous seating and panoramic visibility, creating an ideal environment for entertaining at anchor or enjoying longer passages under sail. The raised helm offers good sightlines and safe, efficient sail handling, while Seawind 27s proven rig design ensures lively performance without being demanding to sail.

Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged with three cabins, comfortably sleeping six in two doubles and two singles. A functional galley, well-appointed head and intelligent use of space provide impressive volume for a 10-metre catamaran, while retaining the responsive and enjoyable sailing characteristics the Seawind 1000 is known for.

Built with safety and strength at the forefront, the Seawind 1000 XL2 features robust construction, excellent bridgedeck clearance and predictable handling across a wide range of conditions. These attributes have made the model a favourite among private owners, sailing schools and long-term cruisers alike.

Sundowner represents an outstanding opportunity to secure a late-model Seawind 1000 XL2 with a proven reputation, strong resale demand and exceptional versatility. Previously holding a non-survey 2C classification for sailing school use, she may also offer income potential for the right operator. Whether cruising locally, racing socially or enjoying easy weekends afloat, this is a yacht well worth inspecting.
