Sydney International Boat Show

MULTIHULLS PROVIDE ANSWERS

Multihull Solutions will be showcasing its range of award-winning Fountaine Pajot catamarans: Astrea 42 and the Saona 47 at SIBS. Representatives from Neel Trimarans, Ocean Voyager day charter catamarans and Stealth Catamarans will also be on the Multihull Solutions stand to assist clients with all queries on these leading brands.

A lineup of specialists will be on hand to help with all facets of multihull buying, selling and ownership, including company ambassadors Gordon and Louise Coates, ex-factory handover and European delivery specialists, charter investment experts and pre-owned brokerage division specialists.

The company is looking forward to another successful event, following record sales at last year’s Sydney International Boat Show plus the recent Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show. Managing director Mark Elkington said the demand at recent shows is a clear indication of just how dominant multihulls are becoming. “We are delighted but not surprised by the huge demand we are now experiencing across our range of power and sail catamarans,” Elkington said.

“The tide has been turning for the past ten years and now the public has truly jumped on board the multihull revolution due to the irrefutable advantages they present over their monohull counterparts.

“Leading multihull shipyards have made astonishing advances in design, technology and construction, producing models that are not just spacious, safe and comfortable, but deliver outstanding performance at sea.

“It’s an exciting time for the multihull industry and we are proud to be representing the world’s best brands, including Fountaine Pajot who continually set new benchmarks in innovation and design.”
