South Coast Yachts originally designed and commenced building Magnum Yachts in 1987 and produced 76 boats in the following 10 years.
Peter Sands Yachts took over the manufacture of Magnum Yachts, building 12 boats over two years in Queensland until the moulds were purchased by Neville Mills and Amanda Chapman who formed Magnum Yachts in Victoria. Neville and Amanda constructed 9 boats until Magnum Yachts was taken over by Graeme and Cheryl King who now handle the contruction and sales of Magnum Yachts, spare parts and accessories. The quality of their work was demonstrated with the launching of the most recent Magnum, Kingtide.
The Magnum Association was formed in early 1990 by a number of Victorian owners who are still active in the association. It has subsequently grown to over 40 Victorian boats and members.
