Multihull Solutions is expecting strong interest in its power and sail range at this weekend’s Gold Coast Marine Expo from 17-19 October.

The company will be displaying the new Summerland 40 Long Range (LR) by Fountaine Pajot Motor Yachts as well as the Fountaine Pajot Lipari 41 Evolution at the show, to satisfy both power and sail multihull enthusiasts.

It is also anticipating big crowds at its Gold Coast Sales Centre where it is displaying an extensive range of quality pre-owned multihulls at its Out-Of-Water Boat Show in Coomera.

The Gold Coast Marine Expo has grown to become one of the most dynamic boat shows on the national marine calendar. Dubbed Australia’s only ‘Working Boat Show’, the Expo features a comprehensive program of events including a variety of live technical demonstrations, factory tours and attractions with something taking place every 15 minutes over the three big days.

The event is held amongst the largest shipyards and manufacturing plants in Australia at the Gold Coast Marine Precinct, home to the Multihull Solutions’ Out-Of-Water Boat Show, and enables visitors to experience a truly unique behind-the-scenes view of the region’s marine industry.

The Summerland 40 LR and the Lipari 41 Evolution are expected to be highlights at the event, as these multihulls have become two of the most popular models in Fountaine Pajot’s history.

The Summerland 40 LR recently won the ‘Boat of the Year’ title against a strong field of finalists in the ‘Liveable Boats’ category at the prestigious 2014 Moteur Boat Awards, impressing judges with its exceptional interior space, outstanding stability, and performance in choppy judging conditions. It also was praised for its remarkable accommodation, particularly its three designer double cabins and its decadent owner’s cabin that boasts a panoramic sea view.

At its nearby Out-of-Water Boat Show, Multihull Solutions will be showcasing an astonishing range of quality pre-owned multihulls including a Lagoon 421, Leopard 39, Sailfish 5000 power catamaran, Voyage 500, Schionning 43, Seawind 1200, Leopard 47 and many more.

The Out-of-Water Boat Show is a must-see for all visitors to the Gold Coast Marine Expo, allowing buyers to fully inspect a wide array of multihulls while enjoying the premier facilities at The Boat Works including the café overlooking the vibrant waterways.
