In its second major regatta win since arriving in Australia late last year the Corsair 760 won its division on OMR in the 2018 Moreton Bay Multihull Regatta held at the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron last weekend. Skippered by current F18 National Champion Daniel Van Kerckhof, of Send It Sailing, the Corsair 760 sailed beautifully to finish with 2 firsts, 2 seconds and a third to win the regatta by a clear 3 points. ‘It is a great little family boat perfect for that weekend away and still able to cater for all skill levels on the racing scene’ said skipper Daniel Van Kerckhof. ‘The little Corsair handles superbly and is quite damn comfy.’ This follows her debut regatta and win on OMR at Geelong Race Week earlier this year where she was skippered by Stephen Medwell and crewed by Greg Goodall and Michael…
The amazing Privilege Serie 6 – Rolls Royce of the Sea A walk through guided tour by Brent Vaughan There are few that catamaran manufactures in the world you could compare to Rolls Royce, but that’s where Privilege comfortably sit in the spectrum of builders. Exquisite finishes and attention to detail, large luxurious living spaces and accommodation, and solid uncompromising engineering and construction making the boat not only a real sailors boat, but one that you would not second guess when crossing the Atlantic. I was lucky enough to spend a day exploring the latest 6 Serie recently launched and on display at the Prilege factory located at the famous Les Sables d’Olone on the Atlantic Coast of France in the Bay of Biscay. Les Sables d’Olone is famous for the Vendee Globe round the world yacht race that starts and finishes…
Aquila 44 3rd Charter Boat for Arundell Family Wendy and Tony Arundell were all smiles as they stepped onboard their new Aquila 44 power catamaran “Champagne Sunset” in the first week of 2018 with their growing family, setting the tone of exciting year ahead on the water. After falling in love with the Aquila 44 at the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show in 2017, they placed an order on the spot and immediately set plans in motion to enter her into a bareboat charter operation with Cumberland Charter Yachts. “We didn’t actually come to the boat show to buy the Aquila,” Tony said of their trip to Sanctuary Cove visit last year, “In fact we only came onboard to rule it out from our short list, but the minute we saw it, we fell in love and the rest is history”. Cumberland Charter Yachts…

We have just returned from a month’s sailing trip to Tasmania on our Seawind 1250 – Whiskers! This was our second trip in two years having enjoyed it so much last year that we vouched to return. We left on 8th February and sailed from Martha Cove to Bicheno on the NE Coast in 4 days via Cape Woolamai, Deal Island, and Badger Island (off Flinders Island). Our total sailing time was 52 hours so we made it in good time with the weather in our favour. After 2 days in Bicheno, we sailed down the east coast of Tasmania past the scenic Freycinet Peninsula and Schouten Island. We spent a night at Riedle Bay, Maria Island then ventured further on towards Tasman Island sailing past the majestic rock cliffs of the Tasman peninsula and into Port Arthur. Sailing that day was exhilarating to…
