Twice the fun at Pittwater Multihull Rendezvous
Participants at the recent 2012 Pittwater Multihull Rendezvous prove that more hulls mean more funRun by Multihull Solutions, the inaugural Pittwater Multihull Rendezvous was hailed a tremendous success with owners and guests aboard 11 boats enjoying three days of sailing and social action.
There was a great range of multihulls entered including Fountaine Pajot Mahe 36’s, a Lavezzi 40, Orana 44’s, a Bahia 46, and a Catana 47. A Beneteau monohull was even given special approval to join the fun as its owners’ multihull was based in the Whitsundays.
The Pittwater Rendezvous was run from the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club and launched with a Welcome Function where Multihull Solutions team members were auctioned as crew for the event.
Despite overcast conditions on Saturday, all entrants enthusiastically set sail around Lion Island before mooring at The Basin for an unforgettable St Patrick’s Day party on Bonny Doon Beach. The celebrations continued into the night aboard the ‘Skippers Afloat’ houseboat with incredible costumes, sensational food as well as great live music provided by the famous Condorus Maximus.
Headaches were soon shaken off on Sunday morning as the multihulls again set sail for another hotly contested fun rally, before returning to the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club for a casual BBQ dinner and final presentations.
The coveted “Overall Champion” title, judged on outstanding performances under sail, best jokes, impressive costumes and greatest team spirit, was awarded to Martin and Sonia Beamish about their Mahe 36, Reflection.
Christine Griffiths won the “Life of the Party” trophy from the Bahia 46, Fantastique, who proved that you should never expect new owners to sit quietly in a corner!
Requests are already being received for entry into the 2013 Pittwater Rendezvous, and Multihull Solutions will be announcing details of next year’s event in the near future.
In the meantime, plans are well underway for the ever-popular Whitsunday Multihull Rendezvous from August 27 to September 2. Full details of this event can be found at www.multihullsolutions.com.au or by contacting Multihull Solutions on 1300 855 338.
