Sealine F42/5 Voted Best Import in Oz

31.05.06 -- Nominated for ‘Best Imported Boat of the Year’ Sealine's F42/5 faced stiff competition in the likes of Sunseeker’s 82 yacht, Bertram’s 760E, and Chris Craft’s Corsair 28 to name a few.

Conducted by Modern Boating, Australia’s leading marine magazine; the magazine tests approximately 15 boats per issue, totaling 120 boats per year, and from this group of fierce contenders our very own Sealine F42/5 was chosen as winner in the category of over 24ft.

Our Australian distributor, Peter Redford of 5 Star Motor Cruisers, accepted the award on behalf of Sealine commenting; “35 years ago a gentleman named Thomas Murrant built the very first Sealine in the town of Kidderminster, England.

Today Sealine has evolved into one of the largest production luxury yacht manufacturers, and a proud member of the Brunswick group. I doubt Tom Murrant had the Sydney marine awards in mind when he built his first boat, but I’m sure he’d be very pleased with the recognition that Sealine has received here.”

Editor of Motor Boating Ian McCrae explains; “I can say with confidence that this is one of the most innovative boats to hit Aussie shores in years.” He added “It is not just one outstanding feature; but many that combine to deliver an amazing, value-for-money boat that’s poised to set the Aussie boat show circuit on fire.”
