Arabian 100 emerges from Boatspeed

New maxi trimaran now to be shipped to Oman for assembly

Based to the north of Sydney, Boatspeed Australia has nearly completed the building of yet another state of the art 105 ft trimaran yacht, the boatbuilder's third following on from Ellen MacArthur's B&Q Castorama and Thomas Coville's Sodebo. The latest is one of the new Arabian 100 Class for Oman in the Middle East.

Construction only took six months to complete the mainhull, beams and floats. The yacht has been sent as components to Oman where it will be assembled.

A number of Boatspeed staff will fly out in approximately a month to carry out the assembly alongside apprentices from Oman Sail.

All of the parts were shrink wrapped in plastic on Monday 6 April and transported that evening. The long load was taken by road to Newcastle where it was loaded on board a ship bound for Salalah in Oman.

Length: 32m
