Seawind 1160 Deluxe

Seawind 1160 Deluxe Catamaran - Happy Cat - price UPDATED - Just polished top to bottom & survey now available to prospective purchasers.

An exceptional family cruising cat, ready to sail and start your oceanic adventures!

For the past nine years, Happy Cat has been the ultimate memory-maker for our family and friends. She has safely and effortlessly carried us on countless sailing adventures, from Airlie Beach to Sydney, with frequent escapes to the pristine waters of the southern Great Barrier Reef from her home port of 1770.

One of the last Australian-built Seawind 1160s, this highly regarded model is renowned for its functional design, robust construction, impressive sailing performance and effortless sail handling. Happy Cat has been lovingly maintained and consistently upgraded, with a flexible sail configuration and numerous custom improvements completed by her experienced current owners.

Designed for comfortable coastal cruising along the East Coast or extended voyages into the Pacific, we selected the rare 4-cabin layout -- ideal for family cruising and hosting friends. With three children on board during several 3-plus-month journeys, the extra cabins provided exceptional privacy and versatility, making her a true long-range liveaboard cruiser.

This stunning example of the Seawind 1160 Deluxe presents in excellent condition and is among the most sought-after cruising catamarans in her class. The vessel has had just two owners since new, with the current owners caring for her over the past nine years.
