Seawind 1160 Catamaran : Proven Cruiser
Seawind assembles the best materials, with the best workmanship and produces the most reliable production cruising catamarans. Take a good look at this 2008 Seawind 1160 and try to prove me wrong! Cubo Lista did what Seawinds are built for. She sailed all over SF Bay, then south to the channel islands, then to Mexico, the Sea of Cortez, then all the way back up to SF Bay. In over 3000 miles, exactly one small thing broke.
After returning from cruising, and before putting her up for sale, this owner replaced the standing rigging, the mainsail, the jib, the screacher and its torsion cable, and head hoses. He put in a new generator, Achilles dinghy and Honda motor and solar panels. He hauled out, added 2 coats Micron CSC, serviced the folding props, unstepped and inspected the mast and added LED lights. He replaced both Yanmar panels (the LEDs were fading). She’s buffed and waxed. Even the doorway threshold was stripped and refinished. That’s a great owner, getting a great boat ready to sell.
Seawind 1160 Exterior
Among the innovations that helped the 1160 win honors as the Australian Marine Industries Federation Boat of the Year for 2005 and the Boat of the Year in the USA are a clever tri-fold door assembly, a self-tacking jib, a fold-away bowsprit, and stem-to-stern hull windows. The Seawind approach favors the practicality, simplicity and grounding protection afforded by keels over the higher efficiency made possible by using daggerboards. The Seawind’s keels are not shaped to afford upwind lift nor small enough to prevent downwind drag.
Seawind’s formula for fun under sail includes a powerful, big-roach, fully battened mainsail. Trimmed via a traveler atop the targa, the sail is both powerful and simple to control. The high-aspect ratio jib is an efficient adjunct with maximum lift developed by its long leading edge and efficiency born of good trimming angles. The latter emanate from the 1160’s simple-but-elegant self-tacking arrangement (an arc of track on the foredeck with blocks and fairleads positioned to provide even tension through a good range of orientations). The octane in the tank can come from an optional screecher. Flown from the boats fold-down sprit, it can supercharge apparent wind and energize the speedo.
