This is nice to see the new additions and Easy for solo sailors. In the future, I will be looking at your 1170.

It’s a lovely addition to the fleet! Some great and subtle innovations. One tiny thing, I do like my partitioned line bins on my 1160

Yea I want the super high holding anchor! Love the boat! But f I come into a ton of money you will be my first call

Good content

Quality control; Fact ... Will reduce cost and increase sales.

@@amunderdog this exact boat had a ton of warranty work including the gel coat coming up. The owner of seawind posted on their channel and took responsibility. Also, the boat was damaged during shipping, not seawinds fault but, this particular boat had a ton of issues.

Love these 1170 1260 and 1370 designs. Question, I don’t see many of these cruising in northern waters. Are there? Is it a safe vessel for North Atlantic (ie Northeast coast - Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia) type conditions?

Well I do see a number of comments on the owners forum about winterising seawinds so I assume there are quite a few there. We have sailed SCARLETT in the southern ocean where it’s wild and woolly - if not quite as cold as the places you mention.

Absolutely, the 1160 was cruise boat winner in USA! I sailed about 30000 sea miles in 1160, had storms etc, never worried about anything. Of course one needs good experience sailing a cat first. Not the same as mono.

so when is a new 1270 coming out?

The main issue is the waiting list...

No room for a washer/dryer combo

Yes 3 cabin under the bed

I think the reason he gives for the helm placement is not correct or good. Having a fly bridge gives the captain the best possible line of sight, not having to shift around or sit out in the elements to get a good view. Great boats but the reasons for the helm being where they are seem weak to me.

17:50 Having sailed almost 30,000 sea miles on 1160! 8 disagree with you, the helm placement absolutely works, and I could see everything and keep dry in strong conditions. I could always be able to speak normally to Stuart! I just wish that I could still be sailing! Old age has now caught up. However I would buy the 1170 in @ minute if I was still able!

@@user-ml3yv8eo2k I’m actually thinking about the 1160 specifically because of the outboards. I like not having to get the boat out of the water for sail drive maintenance etc. did you have the 9.9 hp Yamahas? How was the boat in general for you?

@@Steve-qn8gn Hi Steve, my first Seawind was the 1000 it had outboards, but then I wanted to cruise overseas so purchased an 1160 it had two Yanmar diesel’s thirty horsepower each. I could sail single handed in both, it is all about money. The cost of running the 1160 is much higher. In the end I sold mine which is still sailing as a charter boat on Sydney Harbour she is called XTsea and you can contact them on line.

Questionable helm position

having worked and lived on both. Galley down every day, that said if I got a good deal on a galley up boat I wouldn't be upset

It's a personal preference and not for all. If you want a galley up in a boat that is sub 43 foot, you are likely either going to have a compromised galley OR you are in a very high volume (charter) cat which is also not in line with our performance requirements for cruising.
