AVAILABLE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE…
Sydney, Australia – 24 October 2024
Multihull Central, distributors for Seawind Catamarans and Corsair Marine are pleased to announce a new format cruising rally for boat owners and crew to explore Moreton Bay and in support of charity Sailability.
In 2025 the MULTIHULL CENTRAL Seawind & Corsair Moreton Bay Rally will be a rally format rather than a regatta format. Most importantly we are taking the opportunity to partner with a volunteer organisation that is close to all our hearts – Sailability offers a fun, safe and welcoming environment where people with disability (our sailors) are accepted and encouraged to participate in, and enjoy the sport of sailing, and other on-water activities.
The event will be a rally format sailing Moreton Bay on the 28th to 30th of March 2025. The programme for the event is:
· Friday afternoon – Test and Tune sailing in Waterloo Bay, we hope to have a professional sailor on the water to observe boats undertaking a course and to provide their observations and guidance to participants that evening
· Friday PM– Dinner (make your own arrangements) at RQYS followed by a presentation and Question and Answer session from our Sailing professional.
· Saturday – Cruise in company to a location (weather dependant) where we will have a sundowners dinner. As this is a rally and not a regatta crews are free to use any of the sails that they choose, this will be particularly relevant to the following competition, a test of sailing
ability and tactical decisions during the day. Two competitions will be run around the concept of Navigators Nightmare:
o Longest Distance sailed. Crews wishing to compete in this event will commence a track at the start at 0930 with the longest distance sailed and the boat arriving at the finish location on or before finish time being declared the winner
o Longest intermediate sailed. Crews wishing to compete in this event will commence a track at 1100 with the longest distance sailed between 1100 and 1300 and the boat arriving at the finish location on or before finish time being declared the winner
· Sunday, cruise in company with a lunch time raft up.
There will be numerous fund-raising activities for SAILABILITY:
· Raffles of excellent prizes provided by sponsors
· Arbitrary fines for dubious behaviour on and off the water
· Reverse prizes (you win – you pay a donation) for the various competitions. The competitions include the short and long navigators nightmare, best dressed boat and crew.
· Entry Fees
· And the grand prize will be for the boat that raises the most money as a direct donation to SAILABILITY
