Cure Marine’s new 70-foot all-carbon fibre catamaran has embarked on her maiden journey
Australian Sunshine Coast boat building company Cure Marine has unveiled the ‘Cure Custom 70’, a 70-foot all-carbon fiber catamaran, billed as ” the first of its kind built in Australia over the past five last years.”
The catamaran was crafted within Cure Marine’s state-of-the-art facility at Coolum Industrial Estate using high-tech equipment, including the southern hemisphere’s largest 3D printer. The 3D printer provided by sister company, Zone RV, enabled Cure Marine to produce tooling and prototypes in a fraction of the time that the industry traditionally had seen.
Cure Marine CEO Carl Bird said the launch marked the beginning of a new era for the company. “The ‘Cure Custom 70’ is the largest sailing vessel ever launched by Cure Marine and indeed the first all-carbon sailing catamaran to be launched in Australia in the last five years”, Carl Bird said. “The launch not only reinforces Cure Marine’s commitment to innovation but also solidifies our position as a major player in the industry.”
Founded in 2005 by Sunshine Coast locals Dave Biggar and Ian McMahon, Cure Marine began as an ambitious project to create a leading composites facility and deliver high-end sailing vessels for the recreational market. Alongside sister companies Zone RV and One Composites, Cure Marine is dedicated to elevating the Australian Marine Industry with continuous innovation and quality craftsmanship.
