Whitsunday Multihull Rendezvous - August 16th - 20th 2003

 MULTIHULL RENDEVOUS 2003 and the CRUSING CUP

2003 fostered a lot of changes for the better, in competitive sailing, Whitsundays style. For the 1st time ever Abel Point and Whitsunday Sailing Club joined forces to support these events in an endeavour to bring back the original spirit of competitive cruising in the Whitsundays.
The Multihull Rendevous which as the name implies, is exclusive to Multihulls, and this event is sponsored by Emultihulls Yacht Brokerage (suppliers of the trophies) and Carlton Midstrength cheap beer and meals.
The Cruising Cup (for Monos), sponsored by Queensland Marine Services and Windskills, is held over the Saturday and Sunday in conjunction with the Multihull Rendevous, and the Monday (layday) saw a great competition between all sailors showing their skills in the Sabot Sailing competition.

A full report of the event is to come.
