The new Seawind 1160 Lite is a 38’ catamaran from the Seawind/Corsair stable. This is one of the most versatile multihulls on the market with a modern interior ideal for family blue-water cruising and set up for single handed sailing.
Well over 100 Seawinds have been launched and many are crossing the worlds largest oceans.

The Lite model has changed from the traditional diesel sail drives to 25hp Yamaha outboards with electric tilts which tuck the engines into compartments under the twin helm seats. This makes for a much lighter boat, no drag whilst sailing, no growth on legs, no electrolysis, low maintenance and increased internal storage.

A full width cockpit hardtop and the Seawinds famous tri-folding door door system make an enormous indoor/outdoor space. The new interior is contemporary with a neutral colour palette.
Our first 1160 Lite arrives before the end of the year and will be displayed at the Vancouver and Seattle boat shows. It features 3 double staterooms, two heads and a very large galley. We have outfitted the boat for our climate with diesel heat and a fully enclosed cockpit.

Grand Yachts Inc. with offices in Port Sidney and Coal Harbour , Vancouver BC are the Seawind dealers for the Pacific Northwest – Oregon, Washington, Canada and Alaska.

Sailing into the Future at Antigua Sailing Week

By Mathew Channer

“Standby tack,” Canadian sailor Katy Campbell orders. The crew scrambles over the sheet lines and braces on the deck.

“Three, two, one, tack!”

I wait until the bow turns into the wind and the headsail snaps over, then crawl over the cabin top of Panacea X to the now windward side. The trim team smoothly sheets on the headsail and a competitor vessel shoots past our stern, feet away, as our Solana 45 beats eastward along Antigua’s south coast.
