As an experienced yachtsman who has competed in the Sydney to Hobart yacht race and cruised the world, Richard Ward has built the company up from grass roots but always with a philosophy of building safe and well performing sailing catamaran sailboats.
In October 2010 Seawind Catamarans acquired Corsair Marine, the world’s foremost trailerable trimaran manufacturer who has built over 2,500 trimarans during their 30+ year history. Having spent 20 years manufacturing in North America, Corsair Marine relocated their management and manufacturing facility to Vietnam. For over 10 years Corsair Marine has been building high performance, light weight composite boats built from fibreglass and carbon, using the latest technology including resin infusion and vacuum bagging. Seawind Catamarans relocated the production of their catamaran models to the Corsair Marine factory, along with their own team of shipwrights, high skilled tradesmen and management to oversee the manufacturing and to also cooperatively develop the manufacturing techniques of Seawind and Corsair.
The Seawind Group now employ over 550 staff stretching over multiple continents with more than 20 agents internationally and exporting to all parts of the globe. With over 15 catamaran and trimaran models in production, and the production capabilities to continue to develop some of the worlds most interesting and exciting multihulls, the Seawind Group are one of the largest multihull producers in the world.
