I singlehanded the entire sail all day - beam reach 90 deg to 90 deg - their comment “she sails like a monohull with all the benefits of a cat”



I am writing to let you all know how much we are enjoying The Pearl, our Seawind 1160 Lite, that we have owned for just over 6 months.
As you know this is our third Seawind, having previously owned 2 x Seawind 1000’s.
The design, from top to bottom is amazing, with exceptionally functional layout and fittings, some great sailing minds have obviously been engaged.
The sailing performance has exceeded my expectations, regularly sailing at 7.5kn in light conditions, and handling easily in the stronger more exciting winds, regularly touching the 10+kn.
The finish also exceeds our expectations, with great attention to detail noted in some complicated shapes and junctions. We love the modern and lightweight finish.
The Pearl is a great credit to you all, we look forward to many years of happy charterers and some great sailing adventures of our own.
What would we change: nothing!!
Regards and thoughts,
Alec and Megan Barrass


She is masterfully built not just for comfort, but also for safety. In fact safety was the reason we bought her. We are both in our 70's, so safety and ease of sailing are pretty important. And we expect to spend many more years sailing her.
