Seawind Catamaran’s Annual Rally series hosted by Multihull Central had its final race last week on the beautiful waters of Moreton Bay. The series which is held as separate rallies in the Whitsundays, Brisbane and Sydney is open to all Seawind catamarans either chartered or privately owned. The hotly contested events consist of racing with a number of social functions and are the highlight of the sailing season for many Seawind owners and their crew. Not only do they allow owners to gauge and improve their performance, but they are a great social occasion with lots of fun, tales told and lasting friendships formed. Brisbane’s Seawind Rally was held on the picturesque Moreton Bay mid November with the fleet enjoying mixed conditions. Friday afternoon’s Test & Tune sail had most of the fleet out enjoying the beautiful Queensland weather before heading back to Wynnum…

The all new Outremer 45 launched at the Cannes Boat Show in France only a year ago, is now on display at Multihull Central, with an Open Day announced for Saturday the 7th of November, from 10am to 3pm. The Outremer 45 is a true blue water cruiser and is purpose built for sailing the world’s oceans in comfort and safety, with a high performance hull designed to reduce the passage making time and maximize time spent at the destinations. The Outremer 45 on display is a great example of this, with the owners having sailed from Europe to Australia across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The boat was designed by and collaboration between Outremer and Barreau-Neuman naval architects, Franck Darnet interior design, and Patrick le Quement for deck systems and operations. The design features high and powerful hulls with generous buoyancy and high…

Following the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show last week, we took a few customers & the Seawind 1160 Lite out for a spin on the Sunshine State’s Gold Coast waters. It was the perfect day for a sail with the winds reasonably strong and our sails ready for action. The test sailors on board had sailed a couple of times before and were helping the guys tack. And steer.. Terry Jones on the bow explaining the Lite’s Genoa. Checking performance levels. It was great to be able to show the Lite’s advantage with lift & acceleration over the heavier models. Crew complete with Seawind Caps – how a Seawind should be sailed! We hope everyone enjoyed their sail just as much as we did. Don’t miss out on the next test sail after Sydney Boat show or alternatively contact us to book a test sail…

Seawind Catamarans have a long history of facilitating a range of owners’ get togethers all over the world. The Moreton Bay (Brisbane Queensland) regatta has been operating for a number of years, and has moved around the bay exploring different racing and cruising and, most importantly, partying locations over that time. For the last two years the event has been based out of the Wynnum Manly Yacht Club in Manly, Queensland. This year 2014 saw 15 boats attend the event, about par for the course for numbers, ranging from early model 1000’s to the latest 1250. The format for the event is a fun sail on Friday afternoon, for those that can make it, followed by a barbie at the club that evening. This year we had the very great pleasure of a presentation from David and Georgina off Seawind 1160, Nimrod, concerning their…
