Seawind 1170, A compact cruising catamaran for offshore cruising

The Seawind 1170, a compact catamaran combining comfort and performance

The Seawind 1170 is a compact catamaran designed by the Australian shipyard of the same name. Although the site is not yet a household name, its reputation continues to grow.

Over the years, Seawind, this small Australian builder, has become a key figure in the globalized world of cruising catamarans. With the Seawind 1170, the shipyard is taking an interesting option by offering modern design and remarkable habitability in a hull of less than 40 feet, a size somewhat shunned by the larger builders.

In addition to its modern lines and well-thought-out rigging, the Seawind features a very rational interior layout which, for a catamaran of this size, offers maximum space.

In short, a rather unique boat that has everything it takes to earn a place in this hotly contested category.
