Multihull Central announced the new Corsair 880 is on its way to Australia to be showcased at the upcoming Sydney International Boat Show. The Corsair 880 has revolutionised traditional trimaran designs and offers a new way for performance sailors to also enjoy longer distance cruising with some of the creature comforts offered by the popular catamarans. “This is an exciting time for trimaran sailing,” says Brent Vaughan, Director at Multihull Central. “It’s been almost 40 years of trimaran innovation since Corsair’s F27 was inducted into the sailing Hall of Fame. Even back in 1986 the boat was recognised for being big enough to cruise with some essential comforts, light enough to be fast and generate its own apparent wind, yet small enough to trailer behind a regular 4WD. In 2022 we see these same features reimagined and much more.” Features and benefits of the…

Welcome to the latest buzz regarding the Corsairs The Seawind/Corsair Regatta was held recently and with some gusty strong winds the Corsairs excelled with the odd dipping the leeward float and bow (Multihull Central – skipper Brent Vaughan) but the boats just shook it off and bounced back for more – talk a bout a forgiving boat – those extra flotation almas introduced with the 760 make the boats very forgiving and boost confidence in what you can do with 15knts boat speed in blustery conditions on the way to winning a great regatta. Talking about Regatta (skipper Michael Meehan) doesn’t it look good with spinnaker And finally how is this for a close finish after 40 minutes of racing – Regatta by a nose over Multihull Central Later this year the Seawind/Corsair regatta will be held over the 7th and 8th of October…

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…
