Ostac Parallax 11

The Parallax 11 Catamaran is a fast family cruiser designed for coastal and offshore sailing. She set new standards of quality workmanship, performance and comfort in a moderate-sized sailing vessel. The manufacturers and designers have logged thousands of miles of offshore and coastal racing and cruising and have had many years experience in the construction of GRP yachts. Ostac now owned by Corsair Yachts of the USA is still recognized as the foremost building of multi-hulls in Australia.

This is a high quality, well engineered, very comfortable vessel which previously had a fulltime skipper for five years to keep her in good condition.  Fully-equipped and with minimal restoration ready to sail.
