Located in Melbourne’s south eastern suburb of Carrum Downs, RMK Marine has been involved in boat and yacht building since the late 1980s and they have now entered the realm of blue water sailing catamarans. Their Oceanic 373 catamaran has been developed for the serious bluewater cruiser, whether you buy factory finished or build your own using their complete ‘Fastbuild Kit’ system. RMK Marine took a serious look at how the home builder could build his/her own catamaran without years of work to achieve the finish of professionals. They got it right from the beginning – by building upright (we must have, as others have decided to copy the idea). Because the boat is assembled the right way up you don’t have to turn over the hulls during construction, but the big advantage is the fully moulded components that form the shell.
Build time is now reduced considerably as you do not have to spend hundreds of hours on the filling, fairing and painting. You don’t even have to create hatch openings, pads and bases for stanchions, cleats, winches, tracks or windows – it is all done for you !! You can even choose their pre-finished furniture components to make your job even easier still. They realized that the home builder does not have the time or the resources to buy the components and fittings to complete the project and ends up using precious weekends to purchase parts and fittings. So again, they have made it easy – they supply you a rigging kit, fittings kit, electrical kit, even resins, glues, fillers and glass cloth.
