THE SEAWIND 1160, winner of several design awards and Cruising World Magazines “Sailboat of the Year.” She is an impressive boat to sail, simple to handle, light and fast. But don’t be fooled this boat loves the open water. She has won several races yet she still looks like a cream puff cruiser. Unlike most cruising catamarans you can see 360 degrees all around from in the saloon, the steering station, or any seat in the cockpit. Everyone can stay in the action and enjoy the sailing experience. Unlike any other catamaran, the cabin doors can be folded up into the cockpit canopy opening the saloon into the cockpit giving the boat a huge open living area.

The overall finish of the Seawind 1160 will be consistent with a luxury world-standard yacht of this size and type. Only very high quality equipment is used throughout. The overall aim is for a level of construction, workmanship, equipment, fit out and style that surpasses any other comparable catamaran available in the market at this price range.
