It seems that the Seawind affords several advantages to a first-time buyer. It comes with written instructions for operation and troubleshooting. These owner-compiled manuals include sketches, photos, and diagrams describing the workings of all the boat's systems. This would be invaluable for understanding how things work and troubleshooting electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and engine coolant problems if they were to arise. Seawind could also serve as a comfortable live aboard. It has a cozy sleeping berth, head with a composting toilet, cooking/baking range, refrigeration, cabin heating and abundant storage lockers; everything in working order. Additionally in 2022/2023 the head and main sails were repaired and all the weather protection canvas was replaced. This is a turnkey boat that is ready to return to the San Juan Islands for adventure or provide a secure home for someone wanting to simplify their life. Freshwater moorage is transferable and live aboard available with approval of new tenant by marina management.
