“Charles Edward”
New Seawind delivery coming to Florida and the Bahamas…
Experience a Seawind 1160 Lite while exploring the eastern US Coast on the Charles Edward.
In 2004 Seawind Catamarans launched the 38ft Seawind 1160… a ground-breaking, innovative design that gained worldwide acclaim for its clever layout and use of space, ergonomic design and efficient short-handed sailing performance. With well over 100 Seawind 1160s launched and sailing the world, the design is certainly well proven, from crossing the world’s largest oceans to chartering in the beautiful locations such as the Whitsundays, Thailand and Caribbean. Now with the Seawind and Corsair Marine design teams joining forces, a whole new approach is being taken to this classic design.
Philosophy: Simple, Fast & Light!
The Seawind 1160 LITE features the same resin-infused construction and the same hull, deck, rig, sails with the famous Trifold door system of the previous 100 or so Seawind 1160s built. That said, the design team went back to the drawing board on how to streamline the design and ergonomics to offer a robust cruising cat at a very attractive price.
New
One of the most noticeable differences onboard the Seawind 1160 LITE is the new sleek interior design and fit out. The timber kit is replaced with lightweight and stylish timber-look laminate surfaces, with a new contemporary neutral color palette as specified by Seawind’s interior stylist. The upholstery is modern, angular, yet practical with a range of hard wearing Sunbrella fabrics to choose from.
The Seawind 1160 LITE also changes from the traditional diesel sail drives to lighter 20hp Honda (or 25hp Yamaha) outboard engines with electric tilt. Remarkable for ease of maintenance, and low-cost repair if ever required.
The layout remains largely unchanged, though the suite on the starboard forward cabin is replaced with a practical walk-in wardrobe and wet locker.
The galley is simplified with an upright fridge/freezer and 3 burner stove, but still offers the same amount of storage with ring lockers, a handy shelf and plenty of cupboard space – far MORE in fact than larger cats with galley-up designs.
