A special report by Brent Vaughan on the latest boats, innovations, features, in the Multihull Central stable of leading catamaran manufacturers. I really love attending the Miami boat show. Not only does Miami have one of the largest displays of catamarans in the world, and certainly the USA with 50 catamarans boat sail and power from 20 to 80 feet in length, but it is a melting pot of cultures with Cuban, Caribbean and South American influence everywhere. It is also the launching point for many setting sail to the Bahamas, Caribbean or even through to the Panama and South Pacific and so naturally people from all over America and the world amass at this show to decide on how their own journey will be shaped with possibly the most important decision of all…choosing a boat. Here are some of highlights: With the…

The Seawind Pittwater Regatta served up a weekend of fun-filled activities and diverse experiences, making it one of the most enjoyable weekends in the regattas history that has spanned over 21 years. Hosted by Seawind distributors Multihull Central on the 25th and 26th of October, the fleet of Seawind owners and their crew members enjoyed a weekend of competitive but fun racing that had extreme conditions, ranging from 4 knots to 40 knots thanks to a strong westerly wind the hit during the day. This gave the fleet an opportunity to test both their light wind sailing skills and tactics, through to heavy weather reefing prior to the third race eventually being cancelled. Guests who joined the regatta were super impressive with how the Seawinds handled the varied conditions. But the weekend certainly wasn’t all about racing, with time in between for a raft…

Following strong demand for charters on Sydney Harbour last season, we are seeking investors for a new Aquila 44 and Aquila 36 to be managed and operated by our new charter boat business ‘Charter Boat Central’. We have very limited space so there is strictly available for one boat only of each model. We beleive that each model built to 1E survey will present a competitive and niche top end charter product for Sydney harbour, with healthy returns expected. With a falling AUD, the Sydney Tourism industry is in the front seat to benefit and we will be working with industry experts and agencies to ensure we reach specialised markets, while we also take care of all management services to provide a concierge service for the boat owner who also gains from the financial and tax benfits, including ability to claim back GST and…
