1967 Allied Seawind — Stardust

Step aboard Star Dust a  1967 Allied Seawind 30, a classic American-built cruising sailboat with a remarkable place in sailing 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.

This particular 1967 Seawind has been extensively refitted and equipped with the vision of long-distance cruising and circumnavigation in mind. Rather than simply preserving a classic sailboat, considerable attention has been given to updating her systems, comfort, navigation, electrical capabilities, and onboard equipment.

The refit includes solar panels and wind-generated power, a Honda EU2000i inverter generator, AGM battery bank, upgraded charging systems, Pelagic autopilot, Monitor windvane self-steering system, Furuno radar, Garmin GPS, and Icom marine communications equipment, including single-sideband radio.

The interior has also received numerous custom improvements, including an Isotherm refrigerator/freezer, Origo two-burner alcohol stove, freshwater system with custom-built tank, hot-water shower, Jabsco marine toilet, and built-in air conditioning. Custom teak grab bars, window shades, cabin lighting, fans, and additional sleeping accommodations add to the onboard comfort.

On deck, custom stainless-steel bow and stern pulpits, anchoring equipment, Lewmar winches, Harken traveler system, custom teak tiller, cockpit bimini, and additional cruising equipment contribute to her offshore-oriented setup.

The Allied Seawind 30 represents an important chapter in the evolution of fiberglass cruising sailboats. This particular vessel brings together that historic design with an extensive collection of upgrades intended to support a life of exploration, independence, and adventure.

Owner’s Comments and Boat History

Stardust has had only two previous owners, according to the current owner. Her history includes time in Puerto Rico before sailing to St. Thomas in 2020. She has completed two extended Caribbean voyages without reported issues. Over the past five years, the owner reports investing more than $100,000 in upgrades and maintenance, with much of the work undertaken in preparation for a planned three-year circumnavigation.

What drew me to Stardust was her beautiful ketch design, the shape of her hull, and the craftsmanship that makes her such a unique boat. The Allied Seawind has a special place in sailing history, with the design becoming the first fiberglass sailboat to complete a circumnavigation.

I have sailed Stardust around the U.S. Virgin Islands, mooring in some of the most beautiful bays and exploring the islands. She has been the perfect place to watch the stars at night and enjoy the beauty of the Caribbean. Sailing her with all three sails up is an experience I will never forget. Her ketch rig is not only beautiful but also incredibly versatile, and the mizzen sail provides wonderful stability, especially when settling in for the night in the cozy V-berth.

Stardust is a beautifully crafted, older boat that has been well cared for and thoughtfully upgraded. She is a wonderful vessel for someone looking to get out on the water, whether that means learning to sail, enjoying weekends aboard, or setting off on offshore adventures. Her manageable size makes her a great boat to sail single-handed, and her history and design make her a truly special vessel.

Stardust is the boat that taught me everything I know about sailing and gave me the opportunity to live out my dreams. I hope her next owner will experience the same sense of adventure, freedom, and connection to the water that she has given me.
