For the past two years, Seawind Catamarans have been host to a series of information seminars at the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show in Australia, which were all extremely well attended. Now these seminars are going on the road and will make their American debut at the Miami Strictly Sail Boat Show to be held at Bayside, Miami FL, USA on February 12 – 16.

There will be four informative seminar sessions including the following:

12noon – Charter Boat Ownership:
Learn all about the benefits of placing a new catamaran into charter in the British Virgin Islands.
Speaker: Arjan Stouff – BVI Yacht Charters

1pm – Sail Downunder:
Take delivery of a Seawind in Australia and cruise the world’s largest island and largest coral reef, before sailing or shipping the boat home.
Speaker: Brent Vaughan – Seawind Catamarans Australia

2pm – Crossing the Pacific:
Seawind 1160 “Caprice” recently crossed the Pacific Ocean, from Australia to New Zealand, Tahiti, Hawaii, Alaska and home to San Francisco. Learn from the skipper’s experience and hints on navigation.
Speaker: Dan Seifers – Seawind 1160 “Caprice” owner

3pm – Cruising from a Woman’s Perspective
Having recently crossed the Pacific with husband Dan onboard Seawind 1160 “Caprice”, learn some useful hints and tips on provisioning, cooking and life onboard a catamaran.
Speaker: Carol Seifers – Seawind 1160 “Caprice” Owner

Each seminar is FREE and will be held every day at the purpose designed Seawind stand on the Marina.
