New Cure 55 garners prestigious 2025 Multihull of the Year Nomination

by Cure Marine 11 Apr 2025 07:36 NZST

The new Cure 55 blazes straight into the spotlight, earning instant recognition as a hot contender for the 'Multihull of the Year' Award in the Performance Cruising category by Multihulls World / Multicoques Magazine.

"For Cure Marine and the Cure 55 to be recognised by industry peers like this is an honour and a privilege. Our team have worked tirelessly to push the industry forwards and to create a world-class product during the development and manufacture of this boat. We believe that we have succeeded with both and we're proud to have launched the first Cure 55 as an Australian-designed and manufactured catamaran." commented Dave Biggar, Co-Founder.

Cure Marine Headquarters, Coolum Beach, Sunshine Coast—Founded in 2022, Cure Marine is set to become a stand-out leader in the performance, luxury catamaran market. As well as being extensively engineered and developed onsite, the new Cure 55 catamaran is hand-crafted by the Cure Marine in-house team of highly-skilled, world-class shipwrights in a dedicated Coolum Beach facility. With a full carbon fibre hull and integrated carbon fibre bridge deck, bulkheads, cabinetry, longeron and forebeam, each Cure 55 showcases an advanced, lightweight construction combined with superior structural integrity.

Renowned Australian naval architect Paul Bury led the design process, supported by Cure Marine's dedicated in-house design team.

With an extensive background in composites technologies, Cure Marine founders Dave Biggar and Ian McMahon have taken Australian boat building to the next level using carbon fibre construction and 3D printed parts within the new Cure 55. There are more than 1,000 3D printed parts in every Cure 55 catamaran. This, combined with the almost exclusive use of carbon fibre in the boat's construction, demonstrates Cure Marine's commitment to building the lightest and most advanced catamaran in its class.

The first Cure 55 off the production line—Miyu—set sail from Mooloolaba at the hands of Gold Coast owners Terry and Amy Robinson.

"We're delighted and thrilled to be owners of the first Cure 55. When we set out on the journey of finding the ultimate catamaran for our future sailing adventures, it became clear to us that the team at Cure Marine had the solutions to all of our needs and requirements. The Cure 55 pushes catamaran design and performance to a new level, when we saw the specifications and the technologies being applied, we were very interested to be involved. The fact that the Cure 55 is built here in Australia contributed heavily to our enthusiasm and commitment to this project." Terry and Ami Robinson.

With boats already in construction and orders from Australia, Europe, and the USA the company is rapidly expanding its global footprint.
