With now four Corsair 880s in the water and a further two due in May/July this year we are getting great feedback on the boats performance with owners commenting on the boats sailabilty and ease of sailing – even solo sailing is very manageable with the use of the autopilot to steer the boat whilst they set sails. The latest 880 was commissioned in Brisbane and then trailered to the Whitsundays (1200km) – this is what they are designed to be doing – being able to trailer the boat to exciting destinations is great for time poor (and who isn’t time poor these days?) owners which means that they can enjoy beautiful destinations that would take weeks to sail to and without the expense of a large boat. Not to be outdone, the Corsair 760 and 760R are also enjoying complimentary feedback from…

AVAILABLE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Brent Vaughan from HH Catamarans distributor Multihull Central, takes the HH50-SC ‘Synergy’ out sailing off the Gold Coast to test how it sails in lumpy conditions and light winds. Here is the full account and transcript that accompanies the sailing video. Concept With influences from building TP52’s, Americas cup yachts and at one stage Gun Boats, the Hakes and Hudson partnership has emerged as arguably the leading shipyard in its class of high performance production and semi custom cruising catamarans, intertwining technology and comfort. Though many HH catamarans are raced and they enjoy the fact their boats are strong enough to fly a hull, the real reason more and more are attracted to these performance cats is that they sail well in lighter conditions as they do in stronger conditions. This efficiency means more champagne sailing days and less diesel…
