Seawind 1160 Factory Visit

We have just come back from our second visit to the Seawind factory in Wollongong to see how the new cat is coming along. It is on schedule for a 23 May launch and we are getting very excited.

I hope we have finally stopped finding things to add to the options list which is fairly extensive. We have also found out that one of our neighbours is getting the 1160 after ours.

We plan to take a month to bring the boat back from Sydney which should be much cruisier than the 5 days we had last time with Next Phase. We have just bought a Telstra prepaid dongle to attach to our spreader mounted antenna, so we hope to have good coverage up most of the eastern coast.

Easter weather has been great and it has been hard not having a boat although we have got plenty of jobs to complete before we leave for Sydney in 4 weeks. Made the bridle yesterday and still have to check and update the paper charts.
