Seawind 1160

• By Jeremy McGeary
• Updated: August 13, 2007

Whenever the judges of CW’s Boat of the Year competition last October turned to catamarans, the name Seawind was in the air. A long way from home, the Australian-built Seawind 1160 sparked plenty of conversation and eventually sailed away with the awards for Best Multihull Cruiser and Most Innovative for 2007.

It was no specific feature that drew the consensus of the judges; rather, it was the concept around which Seawind founder Richard Ward and his team had designed the boat and the innovative way in which they’d executed it. Starting with his stated goal of building “the best family performance cruiser,” Ward applied what he’d learned from two decades of customers and charterers of earlier, smaller Seawind models.

From the moment you step aboard, it’s clear that the ergonomics of getting around the boat are a high priority, along with a strong emphasis on indoor/outdoor living facilitated by unhindered, single-level access between the roomy, airy saloon and the open cockpit. Also on the same level are the twin helm stations, opposite each other on the saloon bulkhead. The port station houses the engine controls, and the nav instruments, just inside the saloon, are within reach through the open window; they’re readable when it’s closed. The view forward, through the saloon, is excellent, and the helmsman can pop his head out from under the awning to see the sails. Other than a cushioned box seat at each wheel and a bench integrated into the safety railing spanning the aft deck, the cockpit has no fixed seating. In port, loose furniture (owner-supplied) comes out of a large dedicated locker and can be arranged to suit the moment.

The saloon can be opened completely to the cockpit across its aft side, courtesy of an ingenious three-part partition. It folds up to stow overhead in the rigid center section of the cockpit roof; it can be lowered and secured in place in heavy seas, when the night air gets chilly, or when you leave the boat. One panel is a regular door. Inside the saloon, the seating provides a panoramic view of the seascape through the windows in both the deckhouse and the hulls. The galley is “down” in the starboard hull, but it’s open to the saloon and connected to the party there; the cook gets both light and a view through the hull window, relieving any sense of enclosure. Seawind offers the 1160 with three or four cabins. Beautifully fitted and warmly varnished joiner work provides a balanced counterpoint to the gelcoat surfaces of the fiberglass components that throughout the boat appear carefully made and finished.

Under way, the Seawind’s performance reinforced its already-high approval rating. Under main and self-tacking jib, it made 3 knots in a 7-knot breeze. Replacing the jib with the reacher and heading to a beam reach brought boat speed up to wind speed. When the wind piped up to 12 knots, the Seawind, under jib again, pointed with and out-footed a 40-foot monohull racer/cruiser undergoing similar trials.

Under power, it delivered the quiet ride we expect of cats with saildrives, cruising at 6.4 knots at 2,600 rpm and topping out at 7.7 knots at 3,400 rpm.

From its performance under sail to its structural and mechanical details, the Seawind 1160 is the embodiment of a simple design brief executed with integrity by a builder with its eye on the long term.

Take 3D Tour

The Seawind 1160 comes in two models. The 1160 Lite stays focused on light wind performance and a clean neutral fit and finish. The Seawind 1160 Deluxe comes with additional standard inventory, and a more traditional wooden trim and upgraded upholstery giving it a luxurious feel. The creative design of the Seawind 1160 has gained worldwide attention for its unique layout, use of space, safety at sea, and exceptional sailing characteristics. This 38-footer is a proven blue water performance cruiser!

Sleek and Open Design

The layout maximizes the space giving the Seawind 1160 the feeling of a much larger vessel. The fully opening cockpit doors and large opening windows allow for exceptional airflow through the saloon and into the hulls. With 360 degree views and plenty of natural light all around, you have a great viewpoint from every angle.

Performance Through Optimization

Every Seawind utilizes a dual helm design, and the 1160 Lite comes standard with the weight saving 20hp Honda (or 25hp Yamaha) outboard engines with electric tilt, or you can opt for inboard Yanmar diesel sail drives. The 1160 Deluxe comes standard with 29hp Yanmar diesel engines. In both models, the helms are protected from the weather and allow the captain to steer from either side providing maximum visibility while underway.

State of the Art Composites

The complex resin infusion process used by Seawind creates a lighter vessel for increased performance while it also improves the strength and rigidity, ensuring the highest quality and consistency of every Seawind.

Seawind 1160 Lite Catamaran

More space than some 45 footers.

Thanks to the ingenious tri-folding door arrangement, the Seawind 1160 offers a massive sprawling open area between the saloon and cockpit to provide open easy living, yet the security and comfort when you need it.

Outboards vs Diesels

Unique to the Seawind 1160, you have the option of electric tilt outboard motors in the LITE package or diesel sail drives in the DELUXE package.

Benefits of Outboards Significant weight reduction No drag when sailing No growth on legs No electrolysis Low maintenance & low replacement costs Fuel stored external to the cabin More storage internally on the boat

Benefits of Diesel Saildrives Longer life More torque More fuel Greater range

Built to Sail

As with all Seawind Catamarans they are designed to be first and foremost a sailing boat. With twin helm stations protected from the weather, all lines leading back to the cockpit and 360 degree visibility, they are set up to be easily handled by a crew of one or ten. The award winning trifold door system allows for indoor/outdoor living like no other boat on the market and is perfectly suited to the Australian climate.

Modern Interior

You have the option of a light grey wash interior for the clean minimalist look, or upgrade to the new modern timber kit for a touch of luxury and warmth. The stylish interiors use laminate surfaces that are hardwearing and lightweight, and minimise weight with light foam core cabins doors and cabinets. Upholstery cushions are finished with high quality Sunbrella fabrics or optional leather.

Spacious Interior & Higher Performance

The Seawind 1160 has a spacious owners cabin in the port hull with a queen size island bed and plenty of storage. The three cabin version has an adjoining full size bathroom with separate shower and glass shower screen. The starboard hull has two double berth cabins with optional second bathroom forward and the fully open galley. You have everything you need and enough space to be very comfortable, yet the hulls remain streamline and efficient so that speed is not compromised.
