The question at 10:54 I took to mean, "will Seawind test to near destruction during sea-trials." If yes, then I know that I wouldn't want the particular boat that has already been so heavily stressed! Now one from the same build series would be a different story. Yes, it is very useful to know exactly how hard you can push a set of components before they all come apart. But not necessarily on the exact item that you are purchasing (i.e. YOURS is the test subject).

Impressive that Mike is so at ease with the camera and the confidence in the product without over egging it , straight forward answers selling the product without sales guff . Good stuff . Thanks .

I'm confused as to why you connected "software for Planned Maintenance" and "early adopter tech." Planned Maintenance Systems (PMS) are so wildly common in military and commercial applications that they can't be considered "early adopter." You might be the smallest vessel you know who does it, but you couldn't in any reasonable sense be considered an "early adopter" if you took a leaf from that particular book.

I HIGHLY recommend you make some formal PMS program for your boat. It doesn't matter if you put it in a computer or if you do it like the Navy did it in my day (USN 1996-2001) and put it on graph paper. You will be way happier if you're maintaining equipment before it breaks than managing breakdowns later in life. And since it's a new vessel, when the time comes to sell it and move up, over, or out, you'll have really good records so you can show the new owners actual data on costs and time spent. To be honest, judging by how I've seen you operate, I don't think it being a formal system would be much different than what you actually do. You've never struck me as a "let it fall apart and I'll fix it then" sort of person.

One question I would be interested in hearing is if they are planning a performance version of the 1370 that is lighter and possibly has dagger boards (not that I have a problem with keels). kind of like the 1190 version of the 1160 standard.

I think he was getting a little impatient with the electric propulsion questions. Given the way Outremer in conjunction with Oceanvolt have simply failed with the 4 Zero (they didn't make it past the canaries) with Jimmy Cornell as skipper (someone who could write the book on sailing around the world with small resources…) its fairly obvious that electric isn't ready… Yet. But we still have people who don't understand what a watt is and never really sailed, hacking on like we should all be running Tesla motor cruisers!
Electric is not ready. Even with 2KW on deck you will barely have enough to run ships electronics, cooking, refrigeration and heating/cooling, you will still need some sort of generator (be that a big alternator or a genset.) If it is cloudy you won't have enough to run a fridge and will constantly be watching the batteries lose 10% per day. This is an unfortunate fact of sailing life due to the way we mount solar panels and the efficiencies currently afforded.
We need a really big breakthrough just to get solar to all the run boat electronics reliably. Physics says we will never be able to run electric propulsion for a blue water cruiser. If on the other hand you are a day sailor who spends every night plugged in to the marina recharging the motor you have to get out, you may be in luck… Don't try motor sailing though or you will be getting towed back!

Awesome
