Following the arrival of the first boat in Australia this summer, the minimalistic and futuristic Salthouse Coach Boat now has Australian representation.
Salthouse Boatbuilders welcomes Burton Boats to the Salthouse family as its Australian Dealer.
Tom Burton has over 10 years of Olympic campaigning behind him representing Australia in the highly competitive Laser class, winning the World Championships in 2019 and having an Olympic Gold Medal to his name.
“With a lifetime spent in and around coach boats as a competitor and as a coach, Tom recognised the potential of the Salthouse Coach Boat and we started talking about how he could become involved in establishing the brand in Australia,” says Greg Salthouse.
“Salthouse Coach Boats are already a secret weapon behind many top sailing campaigns. I am excited to see more come into Australia,” says Tom Burton.
Tom’s first shipment of boats is due to arrive in Australia very soon.
