Recently I stumbled upon the
Seawind 1260 and I am really puzzled about the
cabin arrangement and location. As to my understanding, there are very good reasons why cabins in other catamarans are mostly located straight inside the
hull shape in
water line.
So what effects does the arrangement of the
Seawind 1260 cabins have on:
1.) pitching and weight
As to my understanding, the less weight there is in front of the
mast and the more the weight is distributed low and near the sterns, the better. As this would lower the effect of pitching or "hobby horsing". Is the 1260 pitching more than other comparable cats in that size class?
2.) comfort
How does the location of the cabins in front effect the comfort? What is it like to have the master
bed perpendicular to the
water line?
3.)
noise
I assume that there is more
noise by splashing waves in the front cabins than in master cabins that are located in the stern, like e.g. in an arrangement like the
Outremer 45.
Any Seawind 1260 owners here that may share their long term experience about the cabins?
Thanks!
