Sydney, Australia – 5th September 2024
The world’s most popular sailing trimaran is making a resurgence in Australia with two brand new pre-sold Corsair 880s arriving in Sydney this week for assembly by distributor Multihull Central, alongside a third also on display.
A fourth Corsair 880 was sold during the Sydney boat show recently and will soon be shipped to Australia and three others were recently delivered into the country totalling seven of the new designs now sold to Australians.
The 28ft Corsair 880 is a folding trailer trimaran, designed to sail very efficiently both for cruising or social racing achieving boat speeds close to wind speed.
The 28 foot sized trimarans have always been the most popular of their range as this is the largest size that can be towed by a regular 4WD. The all new Corsair 880 reinvents this concept with slick new styling, much larger floats with raked bows for reserve buoyancy, Bimini and dodger shade covers, and more internal space.
The boats are standard with a carbon fibre rig, self tacking jib, roller furling boom two cabins, shower and head, galley, cruising helm seats and salon settee. Plus optional solar panels, and other options to make the boat more cruising or more performance oriented. Multihull Central helps arrange a dual axle trailer to help you reach your favourite destination.
The Corsair 880 and its entire range are owned by parent company Seawind Catamarans and the boat share the same manufacturing facilities in Vietnam. The 880 can be shipped anywhere in the world inside of a 40 foot container making transport affordable and limitless. Other models such as the 24ft Corsair 760 are also growing in popularity in Australia due to their performance, ease of use, and trailerability.
Multihull Central is the exclusive agent in Australia and New Zealand for Corsair Marine and Seawind Catamarans amongst other performance new and used multihulls.

It’s certainly been a different winter on Sydney Harbour than usual, while there’s been plenty of sunshine, the breeze has not been so forthcoming. Normally winter consists of light sou-easters and the occasional fresh westerly, this time we’ve had gloriously sunny days with westerlies around five knots or lower, week after week, with a number of races abandoned as a result.
The Bay to Bay Regatta had been on my bucket list for a few years now and seeing this year it landed on my birthday, I decided it was an opportunity not to be missed. So I phoned up my mate Steve Medwell who I used to sail Tornadoes and F18s with and invited him along for a ride. The ride was our new award winning Corsair 760 trimaran.
Whether you are a first time sailor, or an experienced around the world circumnavigator, the iconic Australian-owned and founded Seawind brand has a boat and design for you for all levels of experience and planned adventures. But with four boats that are only a few feet apart in length, it can get tricky to decide which is the right boat to choose and the best fit for you. So, we have put together these special buyers guide to help unpack the design concept behind each and its characteristics, its pros and cons, and who we recommend them for to help you select not necessarily the most expensive boat, but the best boat for you.

We plan to take our little Seawind 1000 catamaran ‘Seabbatical’ from Sydney Harbour, to Lady Musgrave Island. As I still have the demands of running a business and kids at school, this will be a mini seabbatical and so finding time is important but demanding.
‘Pirate Pete’ is the proud new owner of the brand new Seawind 1260, that Cumberland Charter Yachts will be welcoming in to the fleet in August this year. We asked him what his background story was in buying the Seawind 1260 and why he chose to have it chartered in the Whitsundays.
Here is his story:
The club has been formed with the objective of providing a means for multihull boat owners to build networks, learn about how others fix issues and engage in both cruising and racing/rallys whilst enjoying the social aspects that belonging to a club provides.
If you have ever considered swapping the suit & tie and air-conditioning, for deck shoes and salt air and running your own business, then a charter boat business might be just the thing you need to feed both your entrepreneurial and outdoor desires.
Charter boat ownership is a great way to accelerate buying your dream boat, profit from strong demand in the tourism industry and provides a fully managed solution to boat ownership while you are still busy working and with family commitments.
