'Seawind', my Allied Seawind MkII is for Sale
By owner Parker Misko

'Seawind' is an exceptional example of the capable Allied Seawind 32 with the rare factory optional Marconi cutter rig.

The original Allied Seawind was the first fiberglass boat to circumnavigate the world, and in 1975, the second version of this boat designed by naval architect Tom Gilmer began production.

Currently located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, 'Seawind' was built in 1979.

The slightly larger and beamier Seawind MkII has comfortable accommodations, including a huge amount of storage space.

Her heavy displacement, full keel with a protected rudder and propeller aperture, plus a fine entry of the bow give the Allied Seawind MkII a gorgeous and seaworthy hull shape.

The Allied Seawind MkII was overbuilt to be a strong and capable bluewater sailboat. This strong platform and successful lineage of the Seawind’s design was the foundation for creating the boat you see in this listing.

The head

'Seawind' is hull #89 of approximately 130 (MkI and MkII) and has undergone a massive restoration from 2016-2022, and now, she is in many ways much stronger than factory.

All of the work has been done with the best materials and with future preservation and serviceability in mind. Every system was designed with simplicity and reliability at the forefront.

'Seawind's restoration was done on Lake Erie where she spent her life in fresh water. The benefits of being in freshwater are apparent in the bronze and stainless fittings above and below the water, the aluminum mast and spars, as well as the trusty Bukh DV20 diesel engine.

The Bulk DV20 (20hp) marine diesel engine is fed from a 40-gallon tank

Since 2021, Katy and Parker have lived aboard 'Seawind' and have sailed extensively along the east coast of the USA and the Bahamas. Before that, we sailed Lake Erie extensively between refit projects. Her full keel and protected rudder with 4'6" draft means that shallow anchorages are no issue.

Weighing in at 14,900lbs dry with 5,800lbs encapsulated lead ballast, she remains upright in a breeze, is sea kindly, and always feels strong and safe.

Parker and Katy have been meticulous with her care and maintenance.

'Seawind' is an absolutely TURNKEY boat with comfortable living accommodations, superb sailing characteristics, and a small footprint which means small dockage fees, small air draft for bridges, small diesel fuel bills, and shallow anchorages. All you have to do is pick your first destination!
