Multi Hull
Technologies
Group
is a family business
consisting of marine career professionals; qualified shipwrights, metal
fabricators, and
project managers headed by Bob Peel with over four decades of experience
reaching back to timber boatbuilding days and a pioneering time for alloy-plate
and fibreglass boatbuilding in Australia, and spanning hundreds of boats built
in timber plank, timber veneer and strip-plank
wood-epoxy, moulded fibreglass, foam and balsa composite, as well as in
plate metal, radius-chine, and round-bilge aluminium and steel.
Our 'finish-quality' experience is just as
diverse as it is sound. Many boats being finished as pleasure boats, some as
workboats and some to Superyacht standard.

boatworks, location, and facilities
We have large, purpose-built and
modern-equipped boatworks, close to the Central Business District of Murwillumbah, a
country town on the
Tweed River in `Northern Rivers'
New South Wales, Australia, a ten minute scenic drive from Coolangatta Airport on the Gold
Coast.
The microclimate is perfect for
building boats. Along with our area's mild winters and warm summers, the
boatworks are upstream enough beyond the sea-mist zone and out of the large-city
particle-laden air, to enjoy low humidity
levels resulting in
near-laboratory conditions year-round.
Our launching site equipped with government-funded facilities in parkland on the river bank, is `the' place for a launching party.
Ocean access to Murwillumbah is by marked channels and regularly dredged. The entrance is flanked by groynes. A sand by-pass jetty stops build-up on the bar. Transiting vessels are guided by Volunteer Coast Guard on Point Danger.
Marina pens and
all
facilities of
Southern Boat Harbour are ten minutes inside Tweed Heads.
Murwillumbah Airstrip (private light planes
only), is a five minute walk from our boatworks.
We are a 20 minute drive north of the world-renowned tourist resort town of Byron Bay.
