This video is the first in a multi-part sailing/cruising review of the Seawind 1160 Lite. We had the opportunity to cruise aboard a Seawind 1160 Lite for three days alone to really get a feel for if this boat will be right for us. We vlogged about our trip and we'll be sharing what our thoughts are about the boat as much as possible.
We're seriously considering the Seawind 1160 Lite for our next boat because of the long list of positives this catamaran has to offer. Here's just a few of the most important ones to us:
Size - We don't want a huge cat.
Seaworthiness - Plenty of Seawinds have circumnavigated.
Performance - The Seawind 1160 lite is designed to sail well first and foremost.
Livability - She's got a lot of accommodation and room for a 38' boat.
Price point - At a $310,000 base price for a new boat, the Seawind 1160 lite is the most affordable performance cruising catamaran in existence.
All of that combined with the fact that we can set one up with electric outboards, daggerboards, and lifting rudders means we think that the Seawind 1160 Lite might be the best boat possible for our budget and lifestyle.
What do you think?

Learning the Lines is a channel about us, an average couple in our 20's, with big dreams to be sailing the world by the time we're in our 30's. We're not afraid to jump into anything, put in the work, and learn as we go. For this reason our channel is very DIY focused, with the goal to show anyone watching that a lot is possible if you're not afraid to make some mistakes along the way.

Speaking in terms of production quality, this is your best video yet. Nice work! On a personal level, this video is extremely interesting and helpful since the Seawind 1160 Lite is also on my short list (the 1260 is on my "if I win the lottery list"). The idea of the 1160 Lite being an electric boat is also very interesting. Looking forward to more of your thoughts and ideas on that.

Very accurate comments on coral health...or lack of it. I have been diving the Keys since 1980 but stopped a year ago. It is largely coral rubble and dead reefs, but you got some good shots of healthy coral and that is encouraging. Only time I dive the Keys now is working a wreck or hunting bugs.

@rabukan5842 4 года назад

Seawind is one of the best livaboard cats, IMHO, as they are top quality blue water boats, very well thought out by people who love and know how to sail, and who want the best performance out of a livaboard. I think your reasons for the switch to them is sound, and you will be hard pressed to find a 40-42' cat with more livaboard space, two helms, open cockpit/salon setup, choice of engine configuration, that can sail anywhere as well. For the price of an 8-10 year old 42' Leopard or Lagoon, you can pretty much have a brand new Seawind - if you don't go crazy with add-ons. Look at adding extras like a/c, more solar, etc. after market. Seawind already specs out their boats with plenty of features that would be options from other builders, and they'll prep your boat for later installs.

@robertfrederick9061 4 года назад

You folks should have seen what the coral reefs around the keys from Key Largo to Key West looked like 60 years ago when I was a teenager & the family would snorkel/free dive for a month every summer exploring the waters of one of the Florida keys. Gosh, you talk about pristine, many large turtles, rays: Manta, Leopard, Sting. One day a 4 foot diameter sting gave birth to many young, they emerge with wings overlapped & unfold immediately swimming. away. Barracuda over 6ft long populated the waters surrounding the lighthouse stilt frames; the lighthouses off Marathon & several others were manned by 30 day rotation crews. If a recreation boat with fresh caught seafood happened by they were welcomed in. Life was far simpler back then.

@High_Desert_Tanner 4 года назад

This is one of my favorite cats out there. I LOVE that it uses outboards. So much easier for maintenance and repair. Cheaper to run. No diesel. I like the idea of electric outboards! Also: with even just a few hundred wars watts of solar, you can motor indefinitely on electric power (or add a little speed in light wind) without even using battery power. With a full array of solar, I bet you could cruise at a solid 4+ knots without using battery or sail. I've seen monohulls that can do 3 knots on just solar (I think I saw Uma doing so) and they are far more limited on space for solar panels.

@VictoriaWargaming 4 года назад

The only concern I have with the outboards is range. I love the idea of being able to pull them up out of the water (and avoiding prop entanglement during passages) - but would love to know if it would be possible to lift an outboard and cut off something entangling without having to get into the water.

@allynonderdonk7577 4 года назад

You know if you wanted to make one of those an electric boat you could still keep the potential for longer ranges by either placing a gas outboard and an electric outboard in the same well by making an adapter, or keeping one gas outboard and putting an electric one in the other well. Catamarans usually only use one engine most of the time anyway. Why not have the option for both types of propulsion? Also dual 25s seems like a bit much. The Gemini Cat has a typical 30 hp westerbeke, typically repowered to two 9.9 outboard or a 20hp single.

@robertfrederick9061 4 года назад

The Seawind 1160 Lite(stock version) used to be powered by two 9.9hp 4 stroke gasoline outboards contained in motor wells(1 in each Ama{hull} ). This provided more than ample auxillary power to enter/exit channels leading to/from harbors/anchorages. If a sailing Cat like the Seawind 1160 Lite is only used for fair weather occasional sailing then limited utilization of an electric outboard like a Torqeedo 10.0 R or T in 1 Ama & a 20hp 4 stroke gas outboard in the other Ama could be viable solution BUT if the vessel encountered unstable weather conditions or a "Pop-Up" squall line it's highly questionable if the single 20HP 4 stroke gas outboard could provide sufficient forward thrust & directional stability after the Torqeedo10.0 R or T had exhausted its LiOn power cell. I posed a similar scenario to www.Torqeedousa.com but they have refused to answer my questions; they also had erroneous performance data conversion factors on their website that I corrected & sent to them but they have not replied to me.

@@robertfrederick9061 Stock engines on the 1160 Lite are 20 HP Honda's. The Yamaha 25's were an upgrade.

@robertfrederick9061 4 года назад

@@bobsholtes4221 I could be mistaken but i seem to remember than on the Seawind 1160 with twin dagger boards that it used a 9.9hp 4 stroke outboard engine in each motor well. The Seawind 1160 that has dagger boards is lighter than the iteration with 1/2 keels under the Amas. Regardless, the stock 52 gallon gas tank(optional to 76 gallons) is limiting especially if the vessel is equipped with twin 20HP 4 stroke outboards for long passages in the ICW even if only 1 engine is used for propulsion& its twin is tilted up. I wonder why Seawind has not considered using a Yanmar DTorque 50HP TurboDiesel outboard near CL mounted & 1 or 2 bow thrusters in the forward AMA section for tight quarter maneuvering. Bob, you might think I'm "nuts" but i have engineered some amazing small sailing vessels that people peruse & shake their heads in disbelief; yet they sail well on a windward reach & literally scream on a downwind. Commercially produced vessels have to be "more robust" than what a backyard 'Tinkerer" is capable of but "proof of concept" is the same especially if the "tinkerer" does not have a flotilla of support vessels.

@bobsholtes4221 4 года назад

@@robertfrederick9061 the 1000 came standard with the 9.9s. We were one of the earlier 1160 lites in the US (we own the boat in the video). 20 Hondas were always std on the 1160. 74 gallon fuel tank was also standard. The 1190 is lighter than the 1160 but not enough to warrant smaller outboards.

@PastorwithoutaPulpit 3 года назад

I wonder with that being a Cat if you have to run both engines while motoring? Larger Cats usually only motor with one engine because the gain in speed from running both simply isn't worth it. Are these outboards set up as they are not capable of maintaining 4 to 5 knots if only running one of them on this boat? Thanks for the underwater footage and this really cool hands on tour. I know this is long past now but I truly hope you had a blast... Edited to add: The light wind performance of this little cat was pretty impressive can't wait to see how she handles something a little stronger...

@JoseManuelRojoManaute Год назад

I have loved your series of videos in the Seawind 1160. Thanks for sharing your views. Let me please ask you: did you feel that this is a catamaran with which you would feel safe (and comfortable) for traversing large oceans (or going around the world)?. Thanks once more

@eljefe1153 4 года назад

Thanks for the video. Wondering how was the maneuvering and speed with the 25 HP outborders. The 1160 has usually 2 20 HP Yamahas.

@svechappe6075 4 года назад

It will be interesting to see Part 2, but this confirms our experience that in light winds there is not a substantial speed advantage, if any, of cats over mono's. Our past three mono's would get you progressively close to 50% of true wind speed on a beam reach up to 12 knots with standard main and genoa (commensurate with boat length). Where the cat advantage kicks in is as the mono approaches hull speed, it takes a lot more wind to push it that extra half to one knot whereas cats can continue to climb in boat speed at a higher rate. Our current mono pretty much maxes out at 10 knots SOG in 25 knots of wind on a beam reach whereas a cruising cat can get up into the low teens and a performance cat can go higher still. Exception for mono's would be surfing downwind in heavy air where our mono has done 13 knots with the help of big seas and certainly cats would be faster still, although under a hairier ride. But in winds below 12-15 knots, there doesn't seem to be much of a performance difference between cats and mono's, sail types being equal.

@LearningtheLines 4 года назад

You make good points. I really wish I could have tried flying true light wind sails though, because I'm fairly confident that on a beam in 7 knots true flying a code 0 she would be sailing at closer to 5 or maybe even 6 knots. The stock jib is just very very small.

Well if you don't like cats try a tri, they move just as well if not better in these winds, heal more than a cat but less than a mono and point better, the only real issue with a tri is accommodations you won't get even as much space as a mono, but so much fun to sail 😁.

@kevchard5214 4 года назад

@@daveamies5031 I have never sailed on a tri. I guess my bias is based on only sailing Mono or smaller Hobie cats and the horror stories I have heard from owners of bigger cats and tri's about the weakness of the structure. It sounds like these issues have been fixed in the past 40 years.LOL

I have doubts the added expense of two helms is worth it. Only one has engine controls so the additional helm seems to be a sop to the dual helm trend in monohulls. I would rather save the money involved in labor and materials and make better use of the space by having one helm and reducing the number and length of hydraulic steering hoses. Your thoughts?

@LearningtheLines 4 года назад

I don't believe the steering is hydraulic. I think it's cable. I do like the twin helms in a boat as wide as this, especially since there isn't a raised helm. I found myself using both depending on what tack we were on, and for docking you can't beat being on the side of the boat you're aligning the dock with. The only thing I would change is to have the engine throttles on both helms and not just one. I found myself steering on one side and then having to run to the other to adjust the throttle a couple times.

@nez3009 4 года назад

@@LearningtheLines Yes the steering is cable. I know it sounds old school but cable helm has far less failure points and can be serviced and repaired while out at sea. This is why newer boats are still using cable. As the saying goes, if aint broke, don't fix it.

@edwiser3547 4 года назад

Nothing wrong with cable steering. I agree it simplifies repairs, is often less expensive than hydraulic, and nothing to leak. But repairs at sea? We can agree to disagree on that.

B&G is the factory standard. B&G is the marketed to sailors, while the Simrad is geared more toward power boaters. You're right, it's all the same basic equipment, so most of it is just labeling. The radar on Seven Day Weekend is a Lowrance branded unit, but identical 4G radar.

Performance Cat or Cat sailing is not real sailing, if it does not involve being heeled over it is not real sailing. Now that is not to say that one can not enjoy such sailing or that one can not sail around the world on a Cat, but imho it is not real sailing. It is a different type of sailing is all. Others will of course disagree with me as they have a different idea of what real sailing entails. Neither is right or wrong, just matter of preference and each persons definition of what all applies. As I am sure many will not like being heeled over, and I would even agree that it is more taxing on the body, but I still enjoy it all the same. Because on the other hand due to shape of the hulls, a cat simply has the advantage over mono for speed, and speed is just one part of the fun.
