The pre-molded parts and the unique bonding system make it possible to construct a Seawind in 2,400 to 3,000 hours. All fiberglass parts are pre-molded. There is no need to construct time-consuming plugs or do any wet lay-ups of parts.
All exterior fiberglass components are produced in molds. Therefore, all exterior surfaces are smooth and require a minimum amount of sanding and finishing prior to painting.
Quick Build Kit:
The Seawind is available in kit form and can be purchased in a single delivery or in sub kits. All kits have been in production for some time and many production models are flying. Prices do not include engine, propeller, avionics and instruments, wiring, upholstery, or paint.
