The Seaweb
Welcome to the Allied Seawind Owner's Association. This is the site for information about both the Seawind I and Seawind II boats. In the past it was aimed at the latter 32' model, so information on the 30 footers is a little scarce. But you'll find technical information about the boats, owner info, Seawind seafaring stories, and more.
Info about boats for sale is on the owner's page.

One of our owners contemplated the age-old question - What is a Sailor?
This is how one of our owners wound up with his boat.
It seems that there are some resemblances between being in a cult and Allied SWII ownership. If you would like to see what has brought the owners to this condition, read on.
