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.
What's more, Seawind has succeeded in building this small boat without sacrificing performance. High-performance yet compact, the Seawind 1170 is also relatively easy to handle for a small crew.
In short, a rather unique boat that has everything it takes to earn a place in this hotly contested category.
