It's hard to find a 40-foot catamaran that's so livable! The shipyard has really succeeded in exploiting the interior space to the maximum, thanks to a number of clever features. What's more, this habitability doesn't come at the expense of aesthetics, since the 1170 boasts very fluid, almost sporty lines, nor does it sacrifice performance, which is pretty decent for a family cruising multihull.
Construction and finish are also of a very high standard. The final pleasant surprise is that, with a starting price of US$510,000, the Seawind 1170 is still quite competitive compared to other catamarans on the market.
A unique, customizable catamaran
Along the way, the Seawind will come across a number of renowned brands, including Bali with its Catsmart, Excess with its Excess 11, the Aventura 37 and the Nautitech 40 Open, to name but a few.
In the face of these competitors, all priced between $450 000 and $600,000, the Seawind can count on its competitive price, its performance - more than adequate for its class - and, of course, its well-thought-out interior layout.
Another advantage of the Seawind is that it comes from a small boatyard with real customization possibilities. The list of equipment is also to be defined by the customer at the time of purchase, as the shipyard leaves a great deal of freedom in this area.
A boat that doesn't look like your pontoon neighbors' boats
Finally, let's not forget that Seawind cultivates a certain difference, allowing the boater not to sail with the same boat as his neighbor on the pontoon or in the anchorage.
So many little things that, when put together, make this catamaran unique, and that can really make the difference when it comes to buying.
