The first hull of the new Longreach 58 power catamaran has been built as construction ramps up and development of the high performance long range cruiser takes shape. As the first pictures indicate the highly efficient displacement hull shape is clearly evident as are the extended reverse bow design, spray chines and bridge deck wave breaker that will help enable the boat to cruise at speeds up to 25 knots, but importantly motor very efficiently between 10-15 knots allowing long range cruising. Vacuum bagging of the foam core bulkheads has also been progressing rapidly as the structure takes form. No balsa core is used either through the hull or bulkheads, with the superior foam core used to reduce weight and potential for rot in the future. A team of experienced boat builders are bringing the Longreach 58 to life with technology…
What have our brokers Michael and Alex been up to lately? (just prior to the Cornavirus shutdowns) Well, a container carrying 2 Corsair 760s arrived in the Multihull Central yard and we had the job of assembling them and then handing the Corsair 760R over to it’s new owner Rob Laws. The below is how we did this and also assembled the stock 760 all in a week. In this photo we have already pulled the 760R out and have the slings attached to pull the stock 760. Note the masts attached at the top of the container, everything else was in or attached to the boats like a big mechano set and two “boys” ready to get into it. The boats piggy back inside the container as it is only 12 metres long and we have two 7.6 metre boats – Corsair have…
The latest Outremer Catamaran has just been revealed, the Outremer 55 promises to one of the most innovative models yet. Easy to handle, short-handed or alone, she offers spacious living spaces, light and ventilation that are all setting new standards.

This allows…

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…
