A deep-dive introduction on the technical side of the Strong Seawind 1160 XL

1160 XL Technical Talk: Engineering for Performance with Mike Rees Join Mike Rees, Global Sales Director of Seawind Catamarans, for an in-depth technical look at the new Seawind 1160 XL. In this video, Mike explains how we have re-engineered this iconic model to provide higher freeboards and wider hulls without sacrificing the legendary Seawind performance. Key Technical Highlights: Power to Weight: How we optimized laminates and integrated carbon fiber in high-load areas to dramatically reduce weight [01:22]. Increased Sail Area: A look at the taller forestay and the additional 5 square meters gained on the self-tacking jib [03:15]. Hull Innovation: The move to a reverse bow shape for greater waterline length and reduced "hobby horsing" in choppy conditions [04:25]. Discover the "tricks up our sleeve" that ensure the 1160 XL performs as well—if not better—than its predecessors.
