Windcraft specializes in multihull sailboats, both catamarans and trimarans such as the immensely popular Corsair trailerable trimarans, the exciting Multi 23 sports trimaran designed by van Peteghem and Lauriot Prevost, and the popular Windrider trimarans. We have two locations, one near Destin in north west Florida and another in Atlanta. Windcraft is owned and operated by Don Wigston, a long-time Corsair trimaran owner and racer, so Windcraft knows Corsair boats inside and out. In addition to the full Corsair line-up, Windcraft also offers two high-performance cruising catamarans from TRT Multihulls in Norway--the TRT 1200 and 1420. In addition, we offer two really nice POWER catamarans built in Poland - the Motorcat 30 and Motorcat 29.

In addition to our lines of new multihulls, Windcraft offers an extensive selection of previously owned multihulls. While we focus primarily on used Corsair trimarans, we also offer several non-Corsair boats, a variety of larger cruising cats and tris, and some smaller and more affordable multihulls like the Farrier-designed Trailer Tri and older Dragonflies, plus the occasional power cat.

Our mission is to provide our customers with the best possible service not only during the purchase phase, but throughout the ownership period. To that end we offer a full line of replacement parts for Corsair trimarans, replacement sails, quality custom built foils (rudders and daggerboards) replacement nets and trampolines, furling systems and Colligo Marine brand synthetic rigging. Don is usually available seven days a week, evenings included, for immediate advice and assistance. And if the time comes around to sell your precious multihull, or trade up (or down), Windcraft is there to help you get the most value out of your boat. Being a fairly small company we don't have a huge yard full of boats identical to yours, deteriorating in the sun. We try to stock only one example of each model so that yours will get our full attention as well as that of any potential buyers. And we can provide secure indoor storage for your boat if you wish. We often have buyers looking for particular models so please call us if you decide to put yours on the market, we may already have a buyer.

Corsair introduces two new models

Corsair recently announced two new models,the 970 Cruze and an upgrade to the Dash. The 970 Cruze is the long-awaited replacement for the venerable Corsair 31/F-31 which has been in production since 1993.  See http://www.corsairmarine.com/ for more information.

The new Dash model, called the Dash Mk II is an improved version of the highly successful Dash with increased volume in the V-berth area and a number of other improvements to the cabin. Call Don if you'd like to see a Dash Mk II.

2013 Corsair Nationals

The 2013 Corsair Nationals were held in June on San Francisco Bay. Don teamed up with Gulf Coast Corsair Sprint owner and racer Bob Hodges and Elise Reade on a borrowed Corsair Dash. Seven races were held over three days in winds typically around 12-20 knots, making for some very exciting spinnaker legs (click here and here to view photos). The final race was a "tour of the bay" upwind past Alcatraz into the middle of the Golden Gate wind funnel where the fleet saw winds close to 30 knots, and then a spinnaker run back to the south bay. First place overall in the 20 boat fleet went to Florida sailor Phil Styne on a Sprint 750 Mk II, which was towed across the country from Stuart FL for the event. Don’s team on "Blue Bayou" came in second in class and second overall. Full results can be viewed by clicking on this link .
