Multihull Central’s Brent Vaughan explains why now is a good time to sell if you own a production cruising catamaran.

After a long anticipated wait, I was lucky enough to get out for a sail recently onboard the all new Corsair Pulse 600 trailer trimaran following its world launch at the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show. Designed by Francois Perus of Perus Yacht Design, the Pulse 600 is designed as a simple, safe and exciting one design day sports boat made to easily store and trailer after sailing. Corsair have had a long history of building innovative sports trailer trimarans, with over 2,000 having been built and sailing around the world and now also the manufacturer of the famous Seawind catamaran brand. The question was, could they take their engineering, performance and trailer-ability of the larger Corsairs that range from 24 to 37 feet and package this into a bite size chunk under 20ft?

Multihull Central’s recently appointed Event’s Coordinator enjoys her first Whitsunday Rally as a novice sailor. Such a fantastic week had up in our very own Australian Paradise. This year we had 30 people across 7 Seawind Catamarans island hopping through the Whitsunday’s over the entire week. The Whitsunday’s first of all is undeniably beautiful, I was also surprised how pleasant the weather is up there in Winter having never been in season myself before. The first group dinner at Sorrentos was great to break the ice and meet the teams before we set sail the next morning over the Cid Harbour. Unfortunately the rain set in towards the back end of the race, however once we anchored and after our teams creative sandcastles we saw the light and had a stunning sundowner all onboard the party boat, Reflection! I might have been a little…
Following the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show last week, we took a few customers & the Seawind 1160 Lite out for a spin on the Sunshine State’s Gold Coast waters. It was the perfect day for a sail with the winds reasonably strong and our sails ready for action. The test sailors on board had sailed a couple of times before and were helping the guys tack. And steer.. Terry Jones on the bow explaining the Lite’s Genoa. Checking performance levels. It was great to be able to show the Lite’s advantage with lift & acceleration over the heavier models. Crew complete with Seawind Caps – how a Seawind should be sailed! We hope everyone enjoyed their sail just as much as we did. Don’t miss out on the next test sail after Sydney Boat show or alternatively contact us to book a test sail…
