I like the 1160 Lite for many features found in the 1260, and the fact that it also the outboard motors. I wish many more catamarans had outboard motors. I hope Seawind goes electric with their future outboard motors. ⚡️ ⛵️

A very experienced catamaran charter captain said “engines are disposable items” Time is money and in his opinion it’s much easier and cheaper to replace an outboard, than spend days trying to baby along an old Volvo.

Love the boat. Great balance of size, performance and comfort. I like the fact that the space was allocated to the major living areas: cockpit/salon, kitchen and a decent head. I don't need a massive cabin since my eyes are closed when I sleep. I would need to try the boat to evaluate the views from the helm but I love the concept: safe and protected.

I’ve never seen an industry so hell bent on not making sales.. there are thousands and thousands of people wanting to live on sailboats full time, looking to buy a sailboat, and there are scores of boat manufacturers selling boats in the single/low double digits each year, with the capacity to be in the triple digits. Doesn’t anybody in this industry want to make money? I know it’s the banks, but this has been a problem for literally forever, we don’t have any rich bankers/finance people that see what I see… you finance QUALIFIED buyers, if they don’t pay, their boat gets repossessed, really its very simple. If they don’t return it willingly, it’s reported as stolen and they get arrested in some bum fuck port somewhere in a 3rd world country. Pay your bills, keep your boat. What will the bank have lost in that scenario? They will have a new boat, that holds its value extremely well, and a bunch of relinquished payments for the person dumb enough to not make their payments. Let’s say 2 years of payments and the buyer stops paying after that, let’s be reasonable and call it $4000 a month, $48000 a year, $96000 for the first 2 years. You rented a boat for 2 years, were paid $100,000, and now you have a boat that would sell for basically what one sells for brand new, you lost nothing, one would argue that’s good business for the bank. How expensive would it be to have gps on a boat that’s owned by the bank? Not very. How difficult would it be to sail a boat that’s been placed in repossession and reported stolen? Very difficult.

I wish buying these boats was a simpler process.. I make good money, I have great credit, it shouldn’t be such a chore. I can get a mortgage on a million dollar home any day of the week, but a 300-400k boat that I plan on living on full time, good luck! Go get a mortgage, stretch yourself a little thinner, have more responsibilities in a home you’re not going to be living in, and then we will consider loaning you money to buy a boat. At this point I think I’m just going to buy it in cash, fuck the boat industry it’s so fucking weird and backwards, no offense.

I believe in a lower boom/point of effort - especially in light of the ridiculous “flying bridge” type sailing cats these days. However, having to look THROUGH the cabin to see multiple points on the forward and opposite side of the vessel is completely unacceptable for us. You keep referring to the great views while the camera person is showing horrible views from near helm positions. Much like a pilot house monohull or a Nautitech I was recently aboard. GF felt the same way. We’ll take the “inconvenience” of a couple steps up and down from a slightly elevated helm allowing us unobstructed 360 views any day. Personal opinion and choice.

Hey Joe...its very difficult to give the full picture with a little camera onboard...most people when they come for a sail are pleasantly surprised. The vis is dramatically better than the Nautitech 40 because you can see through the superstructure. And its not only the stepping up and down you avoid, you also avoid getting windblown, or having to look through clears when its raining, or being stuck on one side of the boat so you can't see your sails. You look through glass and out of the weather and can swap from one side to the other. And hey, you can always stand up on the step and look over the coachroof too so you have best of both worlds. All I can suggest is that if you ever have the opportunity, come for a sail. But thanks for the comments!

What is that door?? Why not sliding ones? OK, the boat is low and probably sails nicely, but is quite confusing, and having 2 helms is not a real necessity. Acrilic on the bimini is alrealdy showing cracks... Midship galley is something polemic: more space to cook, but separated from the action and smaller cabins... Pretty, but not my boat.
@MultihullCentral1
@MultihullCentral1 5 жыл бұрын
Hey Francisco, thanks for your questions. The door system was designed to essentially remove the compartmentalisation and visibility block that a main bulkhead provides...even with sliding doors, those doors have to slide somewhere and usually into the main bulkhead. So the tri-fold door cleverly opens the boat right up without intrusion. Also worth noting that while the boat looks low, the hulls are narrow at the water line and they feature flared hulls from the bow to the stern for reserve buoyancy.

Simon Hantler the beauty of twin helms is that even in the most extreme weather you can take the side that is protected by both the FG cockpit hardtop and/or coach roof. Eg weather from port bow, go starboard helm. Weather from starboard stern, go to port helm. You only sit outside on the edge in fair conditions for fun. And if it’s that cold you want to shut up shop then go on and sit inside with the rest of your crew on autopilot and swivel your chartplotter around and monitor from inside...or go somewhere warmer 😂

great cat. and you did a great job presenting it. but this is the thing. my wife and i went on a sail with a couple, who happened to have a galley down. i think it was an older lagoon. anyway, once we departed, my wife went on and on about how much she hated the galley down arrangement. it was enough that i know, if i have any hope of getting one, the galley will definitely be up. she said she felt isolated. and it felt darker and so on. before the galley down thing, the only issue she's ever had was over the beds. she ever mentioned she says whoever designs wall to wall beds on boats, never had to make a bed. i asked her if it had to be a choice between "galley down" and island berths, which would she choose. after reminding me, she doesn't have to choose; but if the grand kids lives depended on it she would choose galley up. and to be honest, i think i agree with her. cooking is a thankless job that never ever ends. sticking her in a place on the boat, she definitely doesn't want to be, just isn't in the cards for me. but i do love seawind. they are the best of the best as far as i'm concerned.
@MultihullCentral1
@MultihullCentral1 4 жыл бұрын
John Doe yes this is a very common point...but the older style galley downs you see on those boats give the rest a bad name as they are closed off, unlike on the Seawinds. But you really have to go on one and see cooking in action to understand fully. Benefits are: much bigger galley on this size boat, much more storage, much bigger saloon, plus benefit of hiding dirty dishes away after a meal. But if you can stretch to a 45 footer then stay tuned as a big announcement coming that might get you excited

why don't they just dump the whole idea of trampolines althogether. nowdays new cats only include them for nostalgia as far as i can tell. the boats are made of much stronger and lighter materials than they were 20 years ago. the first company who acknowledges that and does away with them is going to have a winner on its hands. all the dam things do is spray the foredeck. and the boats would be more structurally sound without them. sure would provide a lot more outside living space without them.
@MultihullCentral1
@MultihullCentral1 4 жыл бұрын
Good and important question. The trampolines / nets play an important role of removing excess weight from a critially important point of the boat, the bow. Sailing cats are sensitive to weight and the more weight the slower the performance. The more weight forward and the pitching from the hobby horse motion when in chop as it builds a pendulum type motion. The more superstructure forward also usually slams in oncoming seas. You will notice the highest performing sailing cats have massive tramps to move weight out of the forward section of the boat and prevent slamming.

Funny that all demos are done with all windows down on a warm day. What would be your front water view with all windows and doors closed on a colder day? Worst, what would be your visibility at night time with all the inside cabin lights reflecting in the windows; could you distinguish boat lights from reflected inside lights? I think this boat has a major safety issue due to it's limited visibility going thue many windows and having to switch from side to side to navigate.

Are these boats cheaper than Lagoon, FP or Leopard once fully kitted out & commissioned? I like the low boom, but rope arrangements/tidy bags, accommodation, galley etc far inferior to the brands I mention. Looks speedy, but probably best suited to fast day /weekend sailing rather than live aboard cruising lifestyle. The view from either helm is also unlikely to be better than a sport top style layout, which with a hard bimini & drop down, gives plenty weather protection and totally unencumbered view.
@MultihullCentral1
@MultihullCentral1 5 жыл бұрын
Hey Jim, yes the Seawind 1260 is competitive with Lagoon, FP and Leopard. In fact, they are the most popular cat in Australia. If you look at the video at 7:51 you will see there is a dedicated FG rope organiser which is on both sides...this is deep and has partitions so you can get all the ropes out of the way and it doesn't deteriorate in the sun like rope bags do. These boats are sailing all over the world and have been tortured in the Southern Ocean. They are incredibly stiff as they are totally glassed together so one monocoque structure - even internal furniture is part of the structure. Not glued together. Foam core not balsa core. Fully resin infused. We've had people in their 70s cross the Pacific and swear by the helm because they can do everything on one level and have full protection. Thanks for the comments!
@horitulgi
@horitulgi 5 жыл бұрын
Just don't think overall that they match the most recent offerings from FP, Lagoon & Leopard. Looks like their boats from 2005. Lines are all over the place, trip hazards, twin helms make it harder to tack if solo, raised hatches etc. Additionally the accommodation overall is no where near those French & SA boats, both sleeping berths and where guests would lounge/rest. The galley has to be down as the salon is quite small for a cat of this size. Most Cats are cruised round the Med or Caribbean, with most time spent on the hook and maybe a once a year trade wind Atlantic crossing. So it's getting that balance of half decent short hand safe sailing, without slamming (hull clearance?) and cockpit/lounge/berth accommodation for owners and guests. Understand why they'd be popular in Australia, you don't have to sail halfway round the world to get one! So half decent option for you guys down under. Fair winds.

​@@horitulgi I would really suggest you jump on one for a sail before jumping to conclusions? Lines run through deck organisers...can't say I have ever tripped on them and I'm a gorilla. I get the benefit of having them hidden - makes sense...however there are also benefits having them accessible. Eg we had a block blow out on a halyard recently when racing. As they were accessible we could easily run through a different organiser in minutes, rather than having to run a mouse line and re run. Not sure sure how a twin helm makes it more difficult? You can sail from either one all day long if that floats your boat. But you have the benefit of walking over zero steps to the other helm to get better visibility of sails etc...this means you never have to have the boom immediately over your head. The boat probably has the best natural ventilation on the market with real opening window hatches forward. you actually don't need AC unless you're on the equator. The boat has two queen sized beds and a third (or fourth) double. The big beds are above the bridgedeck rather than down in the hull - so you step up into the bed rather than step down. Yes the other brands have very generous cabins in this regard that's granted, but they pay big time in performance as they end up with very fat and slow hulls. The Seawind is approx. 30% lighter than other brands of this LOA. They are popular in Australia because the sun's harsh and you need protection, we have wild conditions at times so they need to be bullet proof and we love to sail _/)_

Very good question - but its for a variety of reasons. With the salon width right to the beam of the boat, you have no access for coming alongside a dock or dropping fenders. Also punching through oncoming water with a green wave over the front is a bit more nerve-racking when you have a door with seals needing to take the blow. Easier the bigger the boat but unless you want to end up with a house boat, not ideal for seaworthiness on smaller cats

Cool. How's it out in the ocean rough seas. Stormy weather? Can it be used for round the world sailing? Are the sails fully automated that we don't have to go out and adjust? Thanks for the video :)

Tonga Cooks yes designed for blue water cruising. A smaller sister 1160 just completed a world circumnavigation. Sails are automated as far as electric winches but some manual trimming always required regardless of the boat. But all done inside the cockpit so you don’t have to battle the elements outside! Thanks for your comments and happy new year!

Hi Brent, thank you for a nice video. I like both the 1260 and 1160. Looking to purchase one in the not so distant future. Can I purchase it directly from Seawind or do I need a broker? Cheers from the USA. Stay safe.

Haven't rolled one yet. Would likely lose the rig before that happens. Positive stability is also on your side.

SanFranciscoBay only one boat I know of has added cameras however I doubt he uses it. You can actually stand st the helm on a side step to give you full view over the coach roof - not shown in the video - but gives 360 visibility

HGuy doesn’t really know the sail lines on the yacht, keeps correcting himself. Also talks about great views but can’t see anything from the captain position with sails up. Then refers to the visibility through the canopy and proceeds to stick his head out to see past the canopy 😂🤦🏽‍♂️

Bostrovas haha thanks for your keen observations. You must forgive the occasional slip of the tongue as this was shot in one take without a script. Just trying to explain how the boats that we sail regularly operate. The visibility is not a myth though and yes you do have several options to gain clear vis and getting outside gives you wind on your ears. Suggest you jump on a boat and go for a sail.
