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…

50% Instant Depreciation Deduction And How it Applies to Charter Boats On the 12th of March, the Morrison Government announced a stimulus package which included a investment incentive that can apply to charter boat purchases. This investment incentive applies to businesses who buy NEW charter boats over $150,000 that can be delivered and operating by June 30, 2021. The incentive includes a 50% instant tax deduction of the charter boat purchase in the first tax year, with existing depreciation applying to the balance of the boat’s cost after that. This is available to businesses with aggregated turnover below $500 million and only applies to NEW charter boats, not used. Below is an example: If a business bought a new $800k boat and had it delivered by June 30 2021, they would get on 2021 an immediate one off depreciation claim of $400k + $60k…

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 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. Key features of the Outremer 55 -High average speeds and good course keeping allowed by the retractable daggerboards shorten passage times meaning you can get to shelter ahead of bad weather. -The CFD (Computational Fluids Dynamics) models have reduced drag and forward resistance, while allowing for higher carrying capacity when blue water cruising. -All sail handling maneuvers are brought back to the helm station, controlled by winches set lower for easy control, allowing you to manage the boat single-handed. -A new feature for an Outremer, the twin helm stations can be tilted either inboard, into the cockpit, or outboard to the side-deck. This allows…
