Description

Boat Overview Step aboard Star Dust, a 1967 Allied Seawind 30, a classic American-built cruising sailboat with a remarkable place in sailing history. Design and History Designed by renowned naval architect Thomas Gillmer, the Allied Seawind 30 was introduced in the early 1960s and became one of the pioneering fiberglass cruising sailboats of its era. The design earned its place in maritime history when the first Seawind, Apogee, sailed around the world with Alan Eddy, beginning in 1964. That voyage established the Seawind as the first fiberglass sailboat to complete a circumnavigation. Built with a traditional long keel, substantial displacement, and a classic ketch rig, the Seawind was designed with offshore cruising in mind. Her traditional lines, practical proportions, and distinctive sailing character have made her a recognizable classic among cruising enthusiasts. Refit and Upgrades This particular 1967 Seawind has been extensively refitted and equipped with the vision of long-distance cruising and circumnavigation in mind. Considerable attention has been given to updating her systems, comfort, navigation, electrical capabilities, and onboard equipment.
