The man behind Seawind is Richard Ward, an accomplished sailor and ocean racer who decided one day - 40 years ago - to build his own catamaran, just off the beach in Australia. More than 40 years later, Seawind has become a recognized brand worldwide, and even a group, with the acquisition in 2010 of the Corsair Marine brand. The company employs over 550 people and is present on virtually every continent. The Seawind range now includes no fewer than eight models, from 38 to 52 feet.
A compact catamaran, but capable of long crossings
The 1170 is a 39-foot unit, a relatively small size in the world of cruising catamarans. However, this catamaran benefits from a very interesting use of space. Built in a new factory in Izmir, Turkey, the Seawind is presented by the shipyard as a compact ocean capable catamaran.
