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.

The new Excess 11 on the marina #129

Our Newest member of the Excess Catamaran range will be on display at marina #129.

Excess, the new award-winning Catamaran range from Group Beneteau, will thrill you with its unique blend of design and performance. The full Excess range (Excess 11, 12,14 and 15) can be viewed here.

This year we are excited to have the Excess 11 on display at marina #129. This award-winning 38ft catamaran boasts the volume of a much bigger boat and has already sold over 100 boats worldwide

She comes with the optional Pulse taller rig and is the ideal boat for those who enjoy the sensation of sailing without sacrificing the comfort and spaciousness of a Catamaran.

Designed by the highly regarded VPLP and interior design by Nauta, it is easy to see why this new addition to the Excess range has captured the attention of sailors, cruisers and journalists alike.

The glamorous NEW Oceanis 40.1 & 46.1 on display at marina #129

The Oceanis 40.1 and its big sister, the Oceanis 46.1, are two big cruisers that offer a new balance of elegance, space, and performance to make sailing, cruising, and living at anchor pleasurable.

This cruiser is designed by two of the world's renowned architects, Marc Lombard (Oceanis 40.1) and Finot Conq (Oceanis 46.1), in collaboration with the Beneteau design team. They offer unrivaled interior space, a large deck plan, and the ability to clock up fast passage miles when cruising.

The Oceanis cruisers are perfect for families, couples, and experienced sailors. These versatile cruisers are perfectly adaptable to fit the most demanding sailor's cruising requirements, whilst satisfying their need for comfort and pleasure under sail.

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.
