Recently upgraded to Multi-Voltage Charging Capability! Kestrel is now equipped to charge from either 110v or 220v shore power connections!
"Kestrel" is a gorgeous example of the Seawind 1260 catamaran from the well regarded yard in Vietnam. The Seawind 1260 is a sporty cruising catamaran designed for comfortable liveaboard sailing. Known for its sleek modern lines and spacious layout, the 1260 offers a great balance of performance and functionality. Kestrel features the 3-cabin Owner's Version layout which incorporates expansive living areas, a well-equipped galley, and large comfortable cabins with two heads. It is the ideal size to be easily handled by a cruising couple but also large enough to host the whole family for extended stays. The boat's design emphasizes ease of handling with its twin helm positions and 360 degree visibility. The Seawind 1260s innovative construction combines durability with lightweight materials resulting in a high quality finish on a boat that's also fun to sail.
The advantages of the Seawind 1260 lie in its combination of speed, comfort, and versatility. The wide beam offers impressive interior volume, ensuring that the onboard experience feels expansive and livable even on extended trips. The large tri-fold doors open between the cockpit and salon which allows for seamless indoor / outdoor open concept living that can also be securely closed up when the weather isn't cooperating. The boats robust construction, innovative systems, and well-designed accommodations make it a standout cruising catamaran that is ideal for coastal cruising and island hopping. Some of Kestrel's highlights include:
And much more! Kestrel is US Import Duty / Tariff Paid and available for showings by appointment in beautiful St Augustine, FL.

I chose Zee (Zvonimir Kalinic) after posting an ad for a broker on Yacht Sales from about 15 other brokers because he showed professionalism and care right away compared to the others. Most of the brokers never intended to show people my boat but yet somehow expected to collect commission. Zee met me in Novigrad and spent 3 hours taking photos and drone footage and throughout the listing period was communicating continuously and advising me about any offers that came through. His service was at a high standard that I was extremely happy with and felt comfortable at all times especially since I’m in Sydney and my boat is in Montenegro. I can’t recommend Zee highly enough to anyone looking to sell their boat with peace of mind.
The brokerage team has been amazing. They helped me find the right catamaran for our family of four, with enough space for extended family and friends to stay with us anytime. The broker really helped me narrow down what I needed. I started with a long list and eventually narrowed it down to something that was the right fit and price for me.
I cannot speak too highly of Andrew Hodgdon and his colleagues at the Multihull Company.
The process of selling my boat was very smooth and well managed and with excellent communication – especially important as I was unable to be nearby during the sale process. Andrew’s deep knowledge of the market and my boat was very reassuring. We spoke regularly and he kept me closely advised all the way through to a happy sale. I found him a good guy, very helpful, willing to share and bounce ideas around, and I enjoyed working with him. Highly recommended!
Andrew Hodgdon and The Multihull Company are really professional! I just closed a deal with them, and everything was pretty smooth. Andrew was punctual, showed a lot of expertise, and he was honest about all the problems with the boat. He is also giving me the support I need to run all the projects on this boat. This whole process was much better than I was expecting, and I recommend this team! Thank you, Andrew.
