SAILING the BEST Catamaran Under 40' [Seawind 1160 Lite Sailing Review/Vlog #2] Learning the Lines
This is the second video 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.

Well done, ignore the judgements of others...your honesty and humility are refreshing..
Thanks for posting and sharing. Nice to see both of you sailing, instead of at a marina as you said. Looks like a beautiful sail, and nice conditions, nice sunset.
I have been a mono hull lover for many many years but watching that cat sail has changed my mind. That boat is a lot more practical than many other cats you toured in the past.
Great video! Can’t wait to see you guys test the 1190. It was easy to see you loved being on the water
i love the boat reviews but, this was the best. a sailing review is the best one can do. great lob.
I never thought much of catamarans until I saw this and the previous video from you. The space in that cockpit and living accommodation is amazing. I'm glad I watched these videos!
Great Vid !!!.....sailing action is always entertaining. And, I really like your technical shares re- sail trim and actions. The SW 1160 would be a great fit for my family.
Thanks for explaining things about how you are sailing and showing working with the sails
Thanks for the update. I was getting a little concerned about how you and the boat would do with the Tropical Storm/Hurricane Isaias, I'm glad to see doing well. Congratulations on your upcoming family addition. You two have a wonderful situation where you can check out your best options at minimal expense, and I'm sure you will love the final result. God Bless and stay safe.
Really enjoyed this review. Great video
Speaking of the Miami Boat Show, I had a very nice conversation with you both at the show. Glad to see your back out sailing again and congratulations regarding the pregnancy! All the best from way up North in Palm Beach County. 🏝
So glad that you got to enjoy the boat in the real world that’s how we live all
Glad you got to experience a Seawind in her element, under sail in fair winds. 15kts and comfortable seas are nearly perfect conditions and gave you a great day on the water. Add a screacher or code zero headsail and pickup another 2kts of boat speed but the tradeoff is that once you exceed 10kts over water there will be some spray off the bows. Not necessarily a bad thing and she will still feel very stable and under control. Cheers from SoCal and best wishes to the expecting parents!
Seawind is on fire lately! Good on ‘em.
Seawind 1160 is a brilliant solution for Florida and Caribean cruising. When you see one at a boat show you tend to think it is cheap because it is clearly a sparse open deck cat with an enclosure added. It's like looking down on a friend who only has aluminum patio furniture in their home until one day when you go to a party there, have an absolute riot, and the next morning it's cleaned and reset in 20 minutes with no more effort than hosing off some puke. Dude, you're a genius!
love you guys! great job!
That's what I've been looking at. Nice boat. I like the outboard motor layout they have.
For shure the baby will like it a lot. Thanks for the video and good luck.
A nice looking boat and a well done video as usual. Good luck in the home straight with the little un, although with the video delay they may be here by now ! 😎
Awesome video!
