Seawind Allied

Designed by renowned naval architect Thomas Gillmer and built by Allied Boat Company from 1962 to 1982, this masthead ketch represents classic American cruising boat design from sailing's golden era. With 161 hulls produced over two decades, the Seawind Allied established itself as a respected passage-maker among serious cruising sailors. The boat's traditional long keel configuration with transom-hung rudder provides exceptional directional stability and tracking, making it well-suited for offshore passages and extended coastal cruising. At 30.50 feet overall with a 24-foot waterline, she offers substantial accommodations while maintaining manageable size for couples or small families. The ketch rig configuration provides versatile sail handling options, particularly valuable during long passages or heavy weather sailing. Built with solid fiberglass construction, these boats earned a reputation for robust build quality and seaworthiness. The generous displacement of 12,000 pounds and substantial ballast ratio contribute to a stable, comfortable motion at sea, though performance sailors may find her on the slower side. The impressive comfort ratio of 36.91 reflects Gillmer's focus on creating a true ocean-going cruiser rather than a coastal day-sailer. For those seeking a traditional, well-built cruising boat with proven offshore capabilities, the Seawind Allied remains a compelling choice in today's used boat market.
