The LeisureCat 8000 Westerner is the walkaround model with a difference. It features a larger cab than the StormCat giving better weather protection for crew and a larger rear deck area, while still retaining the walkaround concept that allows more room for multiple fishermen. The cuddy cab has a large stowage area with bi-fold lockup door. It includes an electric toilet. The upholstered forward seats give a luxurious lounge area and have hinged tops to provide additional stowage under. Other standard features include saltwater deck wash, bolsters along inside of gunwales, roof hatch, esky seat in front of the console, electric anchor winch and a marlin board extension with dive ladder. Recommended engine power is 2x150hp to 200hp 4-stroke outboards. The Westerner has all the standard LeisureCat safety features and includes their renowned wavebreaker for that soft ride.
Toni and I had the opportunity to check out the first Seawind 1370 in the United States. We did not think twice and headed up to Sail Away Catamarans to enjoy a demonstration sail on Damsel Fly. The 1370 is only 4 feet longer than the 1260, but it is a very different boat. There were things we liked and things we did not, so like every other boat known to mankind, it comes down to compromises. Like all Seawinds, she sailed very nicely in the low winds.
