The Seawind 1160 stands as a transformative model in the history of Australian multihull manufacturing, representing the moment Richard Ward’s vision transitioned from a regional success to a global benchmark. Launched in 2004, this 38foot (11.6meter) cruising catamaran was designed to bridge the gap between performanceoriented multihulls and the "condomaran" trend that prioritized volume over sailing characteristics. The 1160 is perhaps most famous for pioneering the "Trifold" door system, a design innovation that allows the cockpit and saloon to merge into a single, expansive living area—a feature that has since been emulated across the industry. Built with a focus on bluewater capability, the 1160 features a robust layup, lowaspect keels for grounding protection, and a silhouette that remains contemporary decades after its debut. According to Seawind Catamarans, the model was so successful that it spurred the development of several distinct subvariants, including the 1160 Deluxe, the 1160 Lite, and the 1160 Resort.
