About the Seawind 1160 XL

At 11.83 m the Seawind 1160 XL is in the most popular size class for cruising catamarans: big enough for a family or two couples, small enough for a couple to sail short-handed. Her beam of 6.6 m is typical for a cruising catamaran of this length.

Seawind is an Australian catamaran brand whose boats are now built in Vietnam. A signature feature is the wide folding door that joins saloon and cockpit into one living space.

Buying a used Seawind 1160 XL

• As a current model she can be ordered new; demo boats and nearly-new boats with remaining warranty are worth looking for.
• Inspect both hulls, keels and rudders for grounding damage and check the bridgedeck for cracks.
• Always commission an independent survey with a haul-out – see our buying checklist.
