By David Lockwood A star is born in the form of the Montebello 12.5M. A new player in the ever expanding world of multihulls, Montebello Yachts opened its Gold Coast yard last year. But it didn’t leave its new power and sailing catamaran designs to chance. Instead, it went straight to the source, across the Tasman no less, to the design offices of Roger Hill. Surely you have heard of him? As the company blurb says, Hill has been drawing boats for just over 32 years. He began his working life as an architectural draughtsman before joining the offices of esteemed Bruce Farr in Auckland. Next, he moved to Farr’s Annapolis base in the USA.
