THE BOAT

Seawind 1160 Lite — efficient, roomy, and purpose-built

The 1160 is celebrated for a clever layout and efficient short‑handed sailing; this three‑cabin, two‑head configuration sleeps seven comfortably (two queens and one full), and the saloon can accommodate up to eight people for social evenings on board.

THE AMENITIES

Galley, creature comforts and practical systems

Expect a fully equipped galley with separate fridge and deep freezer, a three‑burner stove and propane grill, twin 40 hp Yanmar diesel saildrives, 185 gallons of freshwater capacity and a robust 52‑gallon fuel tank — systems sized for multi‑day cruising.

THE EXPERIENCE

Set up for shared private charters or captain‑assisted trips

The boat’s protected cockpit, three‑way door to the saloon and included essentials (towels, dinghy, first‑aid supplies and basic kitchen spices) make private, multi‑day charters straightforward; captain service is available for groups that prefer a crewed outing.

What the day feels like

What the Charter Feels Like

A multi‑day charter aboard the Seawind 1160 is a blend of relaxed social sailing and practical livaboard comfort: days stretch between coastal sails and sheltered anchorages, meals are prepared in a full galley, and evenings are spent in the cockpit or saloon. The boat’s layout and systems are intended to support short‑handed handling, whether you bring a captain or manage a bareboat outing after the mandatory checkout sail.
