- Boat Name: Wind Seeker 1
- YW#: IYBA_2818375
- Year: 1989
- Located in: Saint Augustine, Florida, United States
Designed by William Waite and built in Tampa Florida at Trident Shipworks, this is a very rare beauty. Windships were built to the same standards as Oysters, Hinckleys and Hylas Yachts and they have proved equally capable cruising boats. Every system and detail of the boat has been meticulously maintained by her current owners for the last 15 years, making this a truly exceptional opportunity for those who wish to explore the world's oceans. Step on board, set the sails and put some blue water miles under the keel. A Hydraulically controlled centerboard (6.8’ to 14.5’) will allow access to shallower anchorages and maintain great upwind performance while at sea. Simplified sail trimming with hydraulic winches and furling options for the sails makes this yacht simple to sail as a couple or even single handed. Solar and wind power assist in charging a lithium battery bank for maximum efficiency. With a water maker, ice maker and a conveniently located dive compressor the yacht is well prepared for her next voyage. Wind Seeker 1 is the perfect boat for a couple or a family looking for a yacht which can boast comfort, stability and ease-of handling. Her beautiful full circumference stainless steel life rail as well as the quality wood selection used below are rarely seen in such abundance on the yachts of today. Windships' propensity for quality craftsmanship make this an exceptional buy for adventure seeking seafarers.
