Multihull yacht design and construction has come a long way since I created my first design in 1986. Evolution never ceases in nature and there’s no reason for it to cease in yacht design and manufacture either. 

Our journey starts with asking questions and imagining whats possible.

We craft the curves, finesse the forms. We bring in the technicians, the mathematicians, sometimes the magicians. We call up the makers and the movers and shakers.

We’re here to bring you the latest in design technology in hull shapes, in styling, in engineering, to connect you with the products and the services that will streamline the build process and bring your own yacht life with the most cost effective build methods we can conjure. 

Browse the designs. Check out the people and the companies we’re partnered with in The Partners Network.

Join us on our journey, or let yours begin when ours is done.

What you’re imagining just might be possible.

And if it’s not we can probably make some magic happen anyway.

Exceptional boat exceptionally well sailed. An exceptional combination that has once again seen Ullman Sails (previously Mad Max and also previous holder of the title) take out the Australian Multihull Championships in a competitive fleet of twelve boats sailing on Moreton Bay.

Congratulations to skipper and crew.

Thanks to Tony Considine for the photo.

Mauritius is an Island. It's also a way to get to an island. Or if you have the inclination a whole number of islands. Mauritius is designed for fun, for exploring, for experiencing the world's oceans and the marine environment. You can see more of Mauritius here:

Work is under way on the first TR36 at Currrent Marine in South Africa and we will have some new renders to publish in the coming weeks. Here's the first one.
