We have the new breed of cat from Groupe Beneteau, Excess, and the glamorous NEW Oceanis 40.1/46.1 on display at Marina #129 that we'd love for you to come and view.

We will have on display the latest updates from our exciting FIRST range:

Showcasing the Beneteau Figaro 3

This year we will also be showcasing the Beneteau Figaro 3 at marina #129, as the world's first production monohull with retractable foils.

The BF3 is designed by the world-renowned naval architectural firm VPLP. Its Figaro one design series is a test of both sailors and boats, as each year during the European offshore races it has proven to be an ideal training ground for skippers who have gone on to become renowned round-the-world and offshore sailors.

The Figaro one design racing series held each year in Europe is a test of both sailors and boats and it has proven to be an ideal training ground for skippers who have gone on to become round-the-world and offshore sailors.

Superseding the Figaro 2 which relied on water ballast, the Figaro 3 employs its 'moustache' foils to provide a righting moment counterbalance. Coupled with her plaining hull, the Figaro 3 performs beautifully downwind.

Unveiling the new Amel 50 on the marina #132

After a tumultuous two years that have thankfully passed, the team at Flagstaff Marine has been busy and sold five new AMEL 50 yachts. Three have already been handed over this year: one here in Sydney and two to Australians in Amel's hometown, La Rochelle, France. The other two new Amel 50 yachts will be handed over in the next eight months to adventurous Australians planning to sail the Mediterranean, Atlantic and Pacific.

The Amel 50 is the yacht of choice for these owners seeking a safe and luxurious cruising yacht with its familiar fully protected centre cockpit complete with electric sailing controls that enables short-handed cruising anywhere in the world. Amel hand crafts only 15 Amel 50s and four Amel 60s a year and has been able to maintain its high-end production without delays during the global supply crisis.

Both the Amel 50 and Amel 60 have been awarded 'European Luxury Yachts of the Year', along with many other accolades.
